XSYS has unveiled Catena ProServX, a cloud-based solution designed to provide real-time monitoring, alerting, and reporting for plate processing and ThermoFlexX TFxX Imaging equipment. This new offering aims to elevate customers to Industry 4.0 operations by offering insights into machine performance and consumable usage, ultimately optimizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and reducing waste.
Catena ProServX enables proactive maintenance and quality control by monitoring equipment performance, energy consumption, and consumable usage. This data empowers decision-makers to optimize OEE and maintain consistent quality standards while minimizing waste in plate making operations.
Bert Eeckhout, a representative from XSYS, highlighted the significance of Catena ProServX, stating, “Catena ProServX represents a significant leap forward in digitalizing equipment management and KPI reporting. It is a connected, cloud-based solution that delivers immediate data about asset performance and consumable usage according to industry 4.0 principles. This new software development provides unique access to plate processing data, enabling customers to optimize their operations and make fact-based decisions.”
ProServX offers detailed production reports at regular intervals, providing insights into the number of plates produced and materials consumed. The system also sends alerts for abnormal activities, such as excessive solvent usage or equipment malfunctions, enabling proactive error management and maintenance actions.
One of ProServX’s key features is its ability to generate individual reports for each job, offering detailed insights from laser exposure to plate finishing. This traceability ensures quality control, helps identify and resolve issues promptly, and optimizes resource allocation for improved efficiency and productivity.
Catena ProServX enhances remote service capabilities and reduces the need for technician travel. Eeckhout concluded, “Catena ProServX represents a holistic approach to remote equipment management by offering advanced statistics, comprehensive reporting, and unparalleled support. It is not just a software solution but a real catalyst for improving production performance and achieving sustainable business success.”
