CenterPoint™

CenterPoint™ is a production monitoring system that offers real-time machine status through standardized dashboards, notifications, and reports. This newly incorporated IIoT technology, part of our CenterLine product family, reduces the dependency on manual tracking for equipment performance. The dashboards, designed to match specific equipment, ensure clarity and precision in the data presented.

CenterPoint™ can be utilized as a standalone solution or supplement MES software, delivering paper-free reporting for enhanced efficiency. Automated reporting provides consistent and reliable performance data, offering unbiased insights that validate operator feedback.

CenterPoint™ drives efficiency in your processes by using alerts to identify problems, allowing you to focus your efforts where they matter most. Without the need for additional software training, CenterPoint™ delivers actionable insights based on process-related data trends. This approach highlights necessary actions to improve equipment performance and identifies potential issues before they impact throughput.

CenterPoint™ utilizes manage by exception monitoring to keep your team aware of critical machine issues in real-time, minimizing the impact of production and process-related problems. Reports include metrics such as part counts, scrap counts, and downtime summaries, which can supplement existing systems to maintain accurate inventory levels. Historical production data in CenterPoint™ supports continuous improvement initiatives and informed business decisions. Preconfigured equipment from CenterLine eliminates the need for IT and controls support to monitor, store, and analyze key process-related data from complex equipment.

System Architecture

CenterPoint™ uses an Edge device as a “Data Diode” to securely transmit machine data to our cloud-based platform for analysis. This ensures that data flows outward from the PLC, keeping all process adjustments under the control of your team of experts.

Customer Testimonial

“When CenterPoint™ was installed on our FlexFast™ machines, we immediately received production and process information on the CenterPoint™ web page. Manual reporting and tracking of machine production rates and part counts were replaced and are now available on the portal with the historical data we were missing to make process improvements and track the results. We receive alerts whenever the machine or process does not meet our targets. In the last six months, we have seen a 7% increase in operator utilization, and we save over $500/week in labour while recording and analyzing production information. CenterPoint™ implementation did not require a server, PLC programming or IT support.”
