Portable tool good at pinpointing packaging line constraints

Garvey Corp. is an established supplier of conveyor and accumulation solutions that have helped companies all over the world to maximize production and improve throughput. An essential prerequisite in any such solution is a good understanding of where constraints exist in a line and an equally clear understanding of what is causing them. Recently Garvey began using a new tool from Parsec Automation Corp. that helps tremendously in gaining such information automatically.

The tool is called LEANTrak™. A portable package that can be rapidly deployed without installation, wiring, programming, infrastructure changes, or production disruption, it lets Garvey collect accurate line stoppage and productivity data in real time. It also offers a number of metrics that expose and rank opportunities for efficiency improvement. LEANTrak consists of the following:

• A rugged notebook PC that resists drops and shocks and is spill resistant

• SENSORTrak™ wireless data collector
