p1ge0n is a text messaging and email service for automated manufacturing equipment. Our software can connect to any device that can be programmed to use a socket to send data. It is a common sense, simple solution to solve the real problems that manufacturers have by getting them the information they need to know about their equipment in real time.
Case Study
It’s 4:00am, and the first workers have arrived at the die-casting facility to start heating up the furnaces. They are being paid overtime for the first few hours, but in order to maximize productivity, the furnaces need to be heated prior to starting the work day. Starting the furnaces could be automated, but it’s too high risk if something were to go wrong with no one there watching it. The day’s production would be severely impacted.
The cost of the extra overtime pay is $50-100/day to start the machines. Over the course of a month, that’s $1500-$3000 that could be saved with automation. The process could be automated, and p1ge0n services could be used to text employees who are on-call if something goes wrong. The savings generated by using p1ge0n services would be several times the cost of the software every single month.
SCADA systems exist which provide a digital representation of what is happening in a production facility. However, these are tens of thousands of dollars if not more, and a complex project to implement. p1ge0n offers an alternative to get the information you need out of your equipment at a much lower cost and with a much easier implementation process.
