The Trumeter Mercury 3000 offers a cost effective solution to machine monitoring problems.
Monitoring machinery can be a problem for many manufacturing companies, often relying on messages to be relayed from person to person across factory floors or even multiple sites.
It's not only time consuming, but as we all know, messages are not always communicated accurately.
Now LC Automation offers a cost effective solution to machine monitoring problems with the new Mercury 3000 from Trumeter.
Virtually "plug and play", the Mercury 3000 will connect to any device, machine, process or system with an electrical supply, via digital inputs or serial links.
The unit is then connected to a local area network (LAN) using the Ethernet port to display the operating conditions on any standard web browser.
And because the Mercury 3000 can use any standard web browser there is no additional software to buy or install and no limit to the range of its monitoring potential.
Locally it can be viewed over a company network, but via the Internet it can be monitored from virtually anywhere in the world.
The Mercury 3000 can also be easily configured to provide alerts of any type of event by e-mail and even SMS text message.
The maintenance department could be informed of a system faults, the production manager could be alerted to an emergency stop, or the despatch department could be told that a batch has been completed.
