Equipment Maintenance Management System
Large facilities such as shipyards, automotive manufacturing plants, and aircraft maintenance hangars, have a significant amount of various equipment and machinery: forklifts, production machines, critical support equipment, and IoT devices. And all tasks related to their maintenance and monitoring are usually done manually, which is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Production Monitoring System
Production managers need real-time information about all events on the production floor to timely address any emerging manufacturing problems like production line stoppage, unplanned downtime, quality defects in the manufactured products, inadequate efficiency of processes, low productivity, and many others. However, with old equipment, it’s very difficult to get any data out of production lines other than parts produced per hour.Therefore, there’s an urgent need for industrial monitoring systems that without any modification of the existing equipment would keep track of production areas 24/7 and provide production managers with real-time data on the manufacturing process.
Smart Meter Reading Software
Many people find paying monthly energy bills frustrating and challenging. Owners of standard meters need to take readings manually, which is rather tedious and time-consuming. Besides, this often leads to errors, which later turn into large energy bills. Moreover, in case you forget to submit readings, your supplier will have to send you a bill with an estimated amount of energy spent during the month. These estimates are not always accurate and often lead to shock bills.
HVAC Management System
The recent trend in home automation satisfies the need of today's homeowners for maximum comfort and highly manageable home appliances. Smart home technology transforms a traditional home into a single system that can be easily adjusted according to the user's needs. Apart from lighting, such systems allow homeowners to control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to create a healthy and comfortable living environment, improve air quality, reduce energy consumption and prevent shockingly high utility bills.
Lighting Management Application
One of the first devices homeowners invest in when equipping their smart homes is connected lighting. There are several options on the market that provide automatic lighting control — from Wi-Fi-based light bulbs that you can buy on Amazon to smart switches and dimmers that take place of old switches on the walls.
Meter Reading System
Many traditional meter owners complain that they often receive unexpectedly huge utility bills at the end of the month. Manual data collection does not allow them to constantly monitor utility consumption levels and, if necessary, limit their energy usage, not to mention that it is quite a laborious procedure.Homeowners need an easy-to-use solution to read meters automatically and provide them with real-time data on their utility consumption.
GreenVaro: Complex Environmental Monitoring System
The rapid growth of manufacturing and increasing resource consumption are inevitably affecting the environment. Today, the world around us is polluted with noise, light, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and many other hazardous chemicals. Their impact on human health can lead to respiratory infections, hearing loss, and in the long term cause heart disease, lung cancer, and other critical health conditions.
Smart Meter Reading Application
Some homeowners learn how much energy, gas, and water they have used in a month only when they receive a utility bill. Rising utility costs can affect their ability to keep up with monthly mortgage payments and stick to the budget.Therefore, there’s a need for a solution that would keep homeowners up to date with their consumption and empower them to make smarter utility usage choices to reduce costs.
Water Pump Station Management System
Typically, the demand for water varies day and night, resulting in variable volumes of water and output pressure by water supply stations. For this reason, they are equipped with various pumps capable of different throughput, output pressure, and power consumption. Wise distribution of load between the pumps provides very significant cost savings on electricity bills.Therefore, there's a need for a system that will help reduce costs for water supply stations by remotely monitoring water pump parameters in real-time.

Challenge

Production managers need real-time information about all events on the production floor to timely address any emerging manufacturing problems like production line stoppage, unplanned downtime, quality defects in the manufactured products, inadequate efficiency of processes, low productivity, and many others. However, with old equipment, it’s very difficult to get any data out of production lines other than parts produced per hour.

Therefore, there’s an urgent need for industrial monitoring systems that without any modification of the existing equipment would keep track of production areas 24/7 and provide production managers with real-time data on the manufacturing process.

Solution

In response to our Customer’s demand, we have developed a custom cloud-based Production Monitoring System* powered by computer vision and machine learning. Through cameras, IoT sensors, and devices, the system monitors production areas in real time and collects valuable manufacturing data: defects in the manufactured products, the number of spent materials, cycle time, production line stops, production and non-production times, the number and coordinates of objects on the production line, workers’ movements, and more.

Softarex’s Production Monitoring System has the following features:

  • 24/7 production monitoring;
  • Real-time automated data collection;
  • Access to the obtained data from any electronic device;
  • Machinery condition checking;
  • Forecasting of workflow failures and possible congestion;
  • Quick notifying of any production-related problems: downtime, line stoppage, machine failure, etc.;
  • Real-time monitoring and counting objects throughout production lines;
  • Measuring the coordinates of necessary fragments or device parts of the specified machines;
  • Employee activity control.

* This is a custom solution we have developed for the specific needs of a particular Client. Does it look like it may be a good fit for you? Contact us, and we’ll build a custom solution tailored specifically to your business needs.
