Brown Machine Group (BMG, Beaverton, Mich., U.S.) has launched the BMG Advanced Digital Readiness (BMG ADR) platform, a web- and app-based portal to access important process data in thermoforming and product handling applications. Available both with new installations and as a retrofit for most BMG machinery from the past several decades, ADR enables operators, maintenance personnel, operations teams and executive leadership to interface with equipment securely and in real-time.
According to Brown Machine Group, the BMG ADR platform is highly customizable to meet individual customer requirements, with unlimited custom alerts by text message or email, for a wide range of possible alarm conditions. Customization also enables users to review how critical assets are running, analyze unplanned downtime and improve operations through notifications when user-defined parameters are out of range.
The platform, available from anywhere via web browser or proprietary app, features enhanced security with automatic updates and allows customer-defined digital access to enable remote service sessions. Based on ei3’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) approach, BMG says BMG ADR emphasizes the path toward smart equipment. Dedicated staff at Brown Machine Group are available to provide customers training and support.
