The Tech Museum of Innovation
Exhibit Monitoring/Traffic Optimization

In addition to being on display at the Tech Museum Of Innovation as an example of modern manufacturing automation, EDAS units are used throughout this impressive museum of modern high-tech innovations in San Jose, CA to monitor and control the exhibits. At each exhibit, the EDAS system coordinates lighting and any number of complex mechanical processes in response to approaching or departing visitor traffic.

AMP, Inc.
Factory Machine Monitoring

AMP, Inc.(Tyco,Inc) implemented a corporate-wide machine monitoring system based on EDAS Ethernet Data Acquisition Systems.

The system monitors each of hundreds of custom assembly and molding machines used in the process of manufacturing connector products, monitoring production counts and machine utilization and reporting alarm conditions. This monitoring system is based on the EDAS-1001E Digital I/O system.

The EDAS units operate side by side with PLC’s which perform the discrete control operations necessary to run the machines. However, the advanced counting, reporting and alarm features of the EDAS made it an easy choice for handling the monitoring functions. EDAS units report data to USDATA FactoryLink SCADA nodes under the UNIX operating system. Data is in turn reported to Amp’s MES system, where it is used by local and corporate management to determine machine and plant efficiency as well as for production and maintenance scheduling. The system allows AMP to minimize manufacturing downtime and increase productivity.

Morgan Construction
Manufacturing

At Morgan Construction, a Multifunction EDAS Unit forms part of an on-line vibration analysis system used to monitor vibration levels in machinery supplied to steel rolling mills. The EDAS reports data from accelerometers situated throughout the equipment.

New Mexico Technology Group (NewTec)
Facility Monitoring

At the New Mexico Technology Group, Multifunction EDAS Systems are being employed to monitor and control environmental conditions in research facilities at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The EDAS system monitors and optimizes room temperatures and reports any leakage (alarm) conditions of cooling systems.
