Automotive
|
Whether it’s high speed production of small parts or slow speed manufacture on the
assembly line, Hindsight will record any stoppages. Often issues are combinations
of complex movements or timing problems. Hindsight shows precisely what happened
and when, allowing the precise corrective action to be taken.

Beverages
|
Troubleshooting the infeed of a filler, ensuring the proper setup of a seamer, determining
why dents are forming or diagnosing a case packer that jams every two hours is nearly
impossible when you are running flat out at 1,500+ units per minute. Hindsight removes
these mysteries and more.

Cement and Building Materials
|
Complex gearboxes, large fans and power motors are critical equipment in Cement
and Building Material plants. The ability to know precisely when to replace bearings
can often make the difference in a profitable operation or one that loses money
due to unnecessary shutdowns or catastrophic failures. The Smart Advisor monitors
this key equipment and provides months of warning, allowing a planned, efficient
replacement.

Consumer Products
|
Improved operating efficiency drives reduced cost of goods and inventory carrying
cost. Often intermittent short line stoppages eat up throughput during a shift.
Hindsight is a perfect set of eyes for understanding the cause of these issues.
Just point the camera and walk away. After the next jam, replay the action and see
what happened.

Converting/Packaging
|
Converting and Packaging facilities produce profits when they can efficiently convert
raw materials to valuable end products. Often these facilities struggle with determining
whether incoming materials are the issue or whether their operation is the problem.
The Smart Advisor allows production to pinpoint the root cause and either take action
with suppliers or make equipment adjustments.

Electronics & Media
|
Intricate movements of components that are difficult to see with the human eye make
production of electrical assemblies a real challenge to improve. Hindsight’s high
power remote control zoom is able to magnify the smallest of components. This, coupled
with its super fast recording rates, shows every subtle movement in fine detail.
All this gives production staff the ability to rectify reoccurring problems that
appear intermittently during the day.

Food
|
With the need for perfect quality and low cost production, packaging of food products
can be particularly difficult. To solve these problems, use Hindsight’s food and
beverage package allowing cameras to operate in clean areas. Operators can see jams
in slow motion and instantly determine whether environmental issues (temperature,
etc.), line setups, or material defects are the root cause.

General Maintenance
|
Anyone in a manufacturing plant understands the value of reliability. Avoidance
of equipment surprises, raw material variations, or personnel issues allows operations
to run steadily and without costly interruption. The Smart Advisor detects upcoming
equipment failures at an early stage, allowing a scheduled maintenance shutdown
for repair/replacement.

|
Machine Tools
|
Machine tools wear over time and raw materials unfortunately are not perfect. Hindsight
stops the action so you can see a sharp image of the operation. Then you use the
easy to understand interface to step frame by frame through the job to see how the
tool, design and material are performing.

Materials & Converting
|
There is no time for lost production and no excuses for off-quality. This is true
whether you are manufacturing PET bottles, cans or cartons. A timing delay on a
glue nozzle or a slight incorrect adjustment on a conveying chain can be the difference
between a profitable day or lost money. Hindsight is an indispensable tool for understanding
the cause of bottlenecks and the solutions for increased line speed and efficiency.

Nonwovens
|
Troubleshooting high-speed nonwovens issues requires fast cameras with a high sensitivity
to light. Whether you are trying to reduce web breaks or improve a gluing/coating
application, Hindsight can provide the needed video to truly understand the cause
of operating failures.

|
Paper and Printing
|
Web breaks eat up profits in short order. Understanding precisely where a break
started is the difference between making several incorrect adjustments and or pinpointing
the single correction that remedies the problem. Now you can review turn-ups in
slow motion to determine if any adjustments are needed. Make the recording of winder
bedrolls at 1,000 fps standard operating procedure so that you can see exactly how
the web is attaching to the core.

Pharmaceutical
|
Characterized by stringent requirements and high cost per unit produced, pharmaceutical
manufacturing has its own unique set of challenges. Hindsight helps you validate
your operation and remove variations. Operate your production lines with constant
recording and monitoring of equipment. Hindsight’s enabling technology allows you
to capture, replay, distribute, analyze and permanently eliminate the root cause
of production problems.

Plastics (Films and Pellets)
|
From the extrusion of pellets to the production of films, the Smart Advisor detects
equipment issues and determines the root cause of web defects and splits. The system
monitors complex gearboxes with vibration and provides an early warning of upcoming
bearing failures. On a film line, gearboxes and high-speed orienting rolls are monitored.
And cameras continually inspect the web for defects and allow synchronized replay
of upstream cameras to see where the problem started.

Sports
|
In the world of athletics, one second can often make the difference in winning versus
losing. Training is the key. Hindsight allows each movement to be divided into thousandths
of a second components. This capability allows the athlete and coach to see the
same sequence of motions, driving incremental improvement.

|
|
Textiles & Tobacco
|
These industries utilize some of the fastest equipment in the world. Troubleshooting
this equipment requires a mixture of art and experience. Hindsight is the easiest
tool to use for removing the mystery of jams and training new personnel. Hindsight
renders the intricate movements of this equipment as a series of slow-motion images,
dismantling the operation to illustrate what is happening and when. Timing problems
and equipment wear along with many other factors can then be quickly diagnosed to
determine the root cause and solution of each problem.

Tissue/Towel/Nonwovens
|
Producing tissue/towel webs at over 2,000m/min seems impossible. But with today's
technology, this is now possible. Slight deviations of doctor blade, yankee or turn-up
equipment can quickly make the difference between a profitable day and a loss. The
Smart Advisor monitors equipment for vibration and pressure variations, inspects
the web for defects and synchronizes cameras to the web to see the source of web
issues.
