Caddis Monitoring Device Increases Equipment Efficiency

Caddis Systems is displaying its machine and process monitoring solutions, including a durable shopfloor device and intuitive dashboard for real-time monitoring. It is said to provide operators and managers with opportunities for increased overall equipment efficiency (OEE), reduced downtime and planned maintenance intervals. Company representatives are providing live demonstrations every day of the show, highlighting the system’s capabilities across numerous industries and applications.

“The Caddis solution is easy to install and offers measurable ROI with quick payback,” says Chris Moore, vice president of Caddis Systems. “With different ways to connect to machine and equipment networks, users can choose the setup that works best for them, knowing they’ll get a constant stream of live data and be alerted of any deviance in performance.”

The device is said to be proof tested for many thousands of cycles and made from a sealed aluminum casting to withstand elevated temperatures and remain fully functional in every type of equipment environment, including those that may contain salt, gases, dust, sand and other elements. Modular add-ons are available and enable users to customize the device with features like a thermocouple expansion, accelerometer expansion for vibration monitoring/analysis and infrared temperature expansion for noncontact temperature monitoring.

The user-friendly software compiles streaming data into a single integrated system that monitors any machine regardless of brand or type, offering a common set of metrics that are user defined. The system can be expanded and scaled to keep pace with growing production capabilities and facilities.
