Every manufacturer is trying to achieve intelligence in production. This intelligence can be utilized in a number of ways, whether you are tracking productivity, monitoring product movement, or enhancing overall production.
The definition of intelligence has changed considerably over the years, and automation providers have had to adjust their offerings to meet the growing consumer needs for insights and trackability.
montratec offers a unique solution, TracControl, which provides a direct communication link between the unique shuttle solution and the user pursuing the insights and the control to meet key KPIs.
System-specific controls ensure optimum functioning and utilization of the montrac® transport system. Our modular TracControl routing components allow you to precisely control and seamlessly monitor your system – regardless of whether the layout is simple or highly complex. Diverse interfaces enable the integration of external control components or overriding routing systems.
TracControl Options
01 | TracControl 1 (SPS as master controller)
The TC1-IRM (Intelligent Routing Module) is an optoelectronic communication module for exchanging data and enabling interaction between the shuttle, rail system, and SPS master control.
The shuttle and TC1-IRM communicate with each other via infrared signals. The TC1-IRM can serve as a communication interface between the rail system and master controller or as an autonomously functioning control component.
02 | TracControl 2 (montrac as master controller)
TracControl 2 offers numerous montrac® transport system control options, with modules comprising individual standard montrac® components controlled centrally by a TracControl 2 unit (TC2U).
03 | MONTRAC Flow Controller (visualization)
These options provide manufacturers the level of control in controlling and viewing their production line that utilizes montrac®. By utilizing TracControl users can have a greater overview of their production line and be able to ensure that your process facilitates efficient product movement.
