Tablets provide control and diagnostics on filling equipment

Jack Mans -- Packaging Digest, 10/30/2012 10:44:18 AM

Weighpack was demonstrating the use of a tablet to control its weighing system and to connect wirelessly to the internet to transmit data and communicate with customers and in-house personnel.

A new handheld tablet device from Haver Filling Systems, which produces automated equipment to fill dry bulk, liquid and pasty materials, is placing near-immediate equipment diagnostics, troubleshooting and maintenance in the hands of the company's customers. The Haver Service Pad combines the machine's PLC controller capabilities and weighing controls with mobile technology that provides the ability to monitor and analyze performance, order parts and video conference live with Haver service technicians.
