Quick Service Summary
- Parent Domain: Industrial IoT Solutions
- Execution Model: Custom Engineering Scope
- Verification: Bench & Functional Testing
- Delivery Deliverables: Schematics, Code & Documentation
The Engineering Challenge
Stamping and press shops struggle with unverified stroke counts, die wear tracking, excessive coil changeover downtime, and lack of shift productivity metrics.
The Desired Outcome
Automated stroke counting, strokes-per-minute (SPM) telemetry, die changeover tracking, and downtime analysis across all stamping press lines.
Core Technical Capabilities
Application-specific engineering focused on reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Non-invasive stroke counting via rotary encoders or inductive proximity switches
Real-time strokes-per-minute (SPM) rate calculation and utilization analysis
Die life tracking based on verified stroke counts to plan sharpening
Unplanned stoppage recording (coil jamming, die adjustment, maintenance)
Integration with plant OEE dashboards and shift production summaries
Auditable production history for customer automotive component batches
Technical Approach
Proximity sensors or existing cam switch signals feed into high-speed optocoupler inputs on the edge gateway, guaranteeing zero missed strokes even on rapid stamping presses exceeding 200 SPM.
Required Customer Inputs
Press type (mechanical/hydraulic), maximum strokes per minute, stroke detection sensor availability, and die tooling reference codes.
Project Deliverables
- Press stroke monitoring hardware and sensor brackets
- Live press line dashboard showing SPM, count, and status
- Die tool tracking log with maintenance thresholds
- Shift performance reports in Excel/PDF formats
Scope Boundaries & Safety Safeguards
The IoT monitoring layer is strictly for data logging and reporting; it must NEVER interface with or bypass safety light curtains, dual-hand tie-down buttons, or clutch brakes. TC Smart Technology adheres to transparent engineering standards: solutions do not bypass machine safety interlocks, and all AI features retain human-in-the-loop governance.
