SmartSense: Efficient Production Monitoring

The Kairo SmartSense products are the ideal solution to monitor and optimize any production process. Sensors are compact, battery-free and cable-free and they can be easily installed at any point allowing the digitalization of a production process in minutes.

How to install SmartSense

The gateway collects data from all the different types of SmartSense sensors and transfers information directly to a PLC (TPC/IP option) or to a Cloud based software platform using a single power over ethernet connection (PoE option).

SmartSense features & dimensions

Pneumatic and electric sensors can be installed in parallel to existing connections using juction nodes and mechanical sensors can be installed remotely using metal flexible cables (i.e. Bowden)or easily adapted to multiple source of motion by designing 3D printed interfaces.

SmartSense Software

Cloud

The Kairo standard solution: an affordable centralized Cloud service for data collection, analysis and presentation. This is a single optimized and subscription-based service for the collection, storage, analysis and presentation of production data. By assigning a username and password it is possible to immediately access your production data transmitted to the Cloud by the Kairo’s gateways without the need for additional hardware or software components. Production data can be accessed securely from any device connected to the internet using a web browser, anywhere in the world and at any time. The system is constantly updated by the development team, and it allows to monitor and profile the productivity, to manage scheduled preventive maintenance logics and to send automatic alerts by e-mail to a list of pre-configured users.

Stand-Alone Application

A basic software solution for local supervision of production processes: it allows the simple counting of work cycles, the measurement of cycle time, the management and monitoring of scheduled maintenance activities. The software can be installed on a physical computer in a local data network and no internet connection is required for operation. Datasets are saved locally into a database created automatically at the time of installation. The software is provided on request under a perpetual license upon signing of a confidentiality agreement and payment of a single license fee (perpetual license).

Lightweight and flexible MES

A lightweight, flexible and optimized system for the digitalization of production processes. This system communicates with most of the standard communication protocols adopted by industrial PLCs, allowing the detection of working times, set-up and pause times and allowing the collection and storage of all information coming from the field. The system makes it possible to calculate production efficiency (OEE) and allows access to the Industry 4.0 tax credit (depending on the specific regional regulation).

Dedicated data connectors

Kairo’s SmartSense solutions can be integrated into pre-existing MES or ERP eco-system through the development of dedicated data connectors. In this way it is possible to optimize the hardware and software infrastructure by getting the most out of the potential of the available IT system. The feasibility, development time and costs are assessed from time to time based on the starting configuration and boundary constraints.
