Insight TSM's new Internet of Things (IoT) business information system agglomerates data from machine sensors into the cloud, where an accompanying software program can analyze it and identify trends. Data can then be displayed with graphs on dashboards showing maintenance information, and material and energy usage. In the U.S., TSM is represented by company offices in Georgia and Illinois.

What's new? The system, which TSM introduced at the K show. Currently, the system is in operation at one facility of a U.S. manufacturer, as part of trial involving 20 lines, which TSM plans to expand to multiple factories.

Benefits Greater traceability, and improved access to data that can help users improve their processes and part quality. With the system, which can track auxiliary equipment, as well as rail cars and silos, users can identify areas of potential material waste; the data can help them spot ways to improve their efficiency.
