Cruise Control is an exciting and innovative feature that will change the way you look at machine speed.  Designed to increase production, Cruise Control allows management to have control of the machine speed, even when they're away from the machine.

 

Optimizing Machine Speed

Management determines the speed profile of the machine, and Cruise Control automatically takes the machine to management's pre-determined run speed. 

 

Optimizing Operator Performance

Cruise Control holds your employees responsible for the machine speed.  Using the reporting feature of Cruise Control, you can view each shift's speed per order and the causes for any orders that were run below the optimal speed.

How it Works
  1. Management enters their desired speed settings, which include the machine's start and stop speeds.

  2. When the operator starts the order, the machine starts running at the start speed chosen by management.  Cruise Control then increases the machine speed at regular intervals until the desired run speed is reached.

  3. The operators are visually and audibly alerted before each speed increase. 

  4. If the operators choose not to run at the speed determined by management, they activate a speed limit and must then enter a cause. They may choose from a list of causes already installed on Cruise Control, or they may enter a new one.  Cruise Control then displays that a speed limit has been set, along with the cause. 

  5. Management may then view a report showing every shift's setup times, maximum speeds, speed limits, and speed limit causes.
