Smart Attend Created to track, collect and monitor production-line data, the Smart Attend optimizes scheduling for maintenance and repair, resupply of materials and equipment reactivation after downtime. Its eight light settings and eight audible alarms are easily programmed in about 20 minutes, and current and historical performance data are encrypted and accessible anywhere at any time, via a smartphone app. Prices start at $1,800 for the base unit and $2,300 for the Pro version.
What's new? The unit, which was introduced in November.
Benefits Efficiency, insight and reliability. Because it is so customizable, each alarm can be configured to notify a different department, which enables fast and efficient deployment of resources. The unit will continue collecting data even when internet access is lost, thanks to an integrated 2-gigabyte memory card. Companies that purchase a Smart Attend unit are given free access to the manufacturer's database, which provides one week of equipment performance data and analysis. Customers that want access to up to 3 years of historical data and analysis can purchase an upgraded service plan, which costs $350 annually for the first Smart Attend unit, and $25 for each additional unit.
