PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (November 12, 2007) - With FAST Monitor v1.1, Accu-Sort Systems is helping auto ID users sort through the data from their sortation systems to maximize throughput. FAST Monitor software monitors and diagnoses potential issues that affect bar code scanners in sortation systems, enabling distribution center warehouse maintenance managers to maximize package throughput and minimize downtime.
FAST Monitor software provides real-time performance data for both laser and camera product lines. It gives users the ability to identify and diagnose problems from any location in the world in as few as five seconds.
Part of Accu-Sort's next generation of software, FAST Monitor is based on an SQL database and runs in a Linux environment. Data is presented in the form of a web page accessible through Microsoft Internet Explorer or a Mozilla browser. Authorized users can access FAST Monitor data anywhere in world.
"It is the only standard product software distributed by a bar code scanner manufacturer that gives customers statistics on the performance of their sortation tunnel, plus diagnostic and maintenance feedback on individual devices connected to the system," said Cynthia Zeiger, product marketing manager with Accu-Sort Systems.
The system not only provides real-time data but also offers scalability. Whether a user has a single read point in a single facility or hundreds of read points around the country, FAST Monitor can provide constant monitoring of all systems connected to the network.
"A key component of making any automation system perform optimally is the ability to monitor and diagnose system component performance and maintain high levels of continuous operation," Zeiger said. "To minimize downtime and lost production, plant maintenance requires a tool that allows real-time monitoring, diagnostics and configuration either locally or from a remote location. FAST Monitor provides that tool."
FAST Monitor allows customers to:
Monitor all Accu-Sort components locally or globally
Diagnose system problems within three clicks or in less than five seconds
Review component status and monitor system performance in real time
View real-time reports or historical statistics for any Accu-Sort components linked to FAST Monitor
