Monitor efficiency in production area with the MDC system WIN’s new counting module ---- CONTACT US
A new development – piece part counting module
The Southern German manufacturer WERMA has now introduced a new development to the WIN system called “WIN slave performance” The new software developed for this module also includes many other new features. In addition to the existing monitoring functions the new software can monitor the piece part count of the machine and analyse the progress of a job on the machine. The new hardware monitors up to six different machine status conditions as well as counting the piece part production output signal of the machine.
Simple and quick to install
WIN is an inexpensive piece of kit which is very easy to install. The system is “plug and play”, that is; the transmitter accessory, WIN slave performance” is added to an existing WERMA KombiSIGN signal tower which transmits data collected to the receiver “WIN master” connected to a PC with a USB cable. There is no licence restriction to the number of users permitted to use the system software.
Intuitive software developments
As well as a new piece of hardware, the “WIN slave performance” the new WIN software contains many new functions, features and new analytical tools. In addition to the existing WIN functions now details of the job in hand can be put into the system and monitored. The monitoring of specific job performance criteria can contribute to improve machine utilisation and help reduce down time in the production process. A further feature is the display of the “fulfilment” level of a job in hand on the machine. Any time frame, for example the shift yesterday or last week can be viewed retrospectively at the touch of a button. The clear and concise notification and display of monitored condition changes on the machine can make a big difference to reducing down time in the value added process chain.
Keep in touch with the job – no matter where you are
It is no problem for WIN to keep you informed, no matter where you might be. If the status condition of the machine should change an Email can be generated automatically and sent to a PC or smart ‘phone. This notification can also be time delayed if the user so wishes.
Good transmission range
The transmission distance given an unobstructed line of sight is 300m, but the construction and layout of a production area may influence this. However as each WIN slave acts as a “repeater” one to another the network distance capability is in fact considerably greater.
Convenient starter kits available
Two different starter kits are offered which allow the user to set up and start monitoring and counting without a complicated installation process. With the all round starter kit WIN complete with WIN slave performance for KombiSIGN 71 the user can set up monitoring three machines and comes with three signal tower kits as well. A second starter kit, WIN system with WIN slave performance is designed for an existing WERMA KS70/71 installation and contains just the elements required to be added onto the existing WERMA signal tower to allow monitoring to take place. Additional accessories can be selected at any time from the extensive range available.
Both starter kits allow a network containing up to 50 machines to be built up and monitored. Further information on WERMA’s “Lean Production” solutions can be found on ADVFIT AUTOMATION SDN BHD

The key advantages
- Central monitoring of a wide range of different machines via PC
- Reduction of reaction times and costs
- Increased productivity and efficiency
- No additional wiring
- Transmission range of up to 300 m (unobstructed line of sight)
- Every slave simultaneously functions as a "repeater", enabling the transmission range to be significantly increased
- Relevant machine information at a glance (e.g. downtime)
Centralised machine monitoring without additional wiring
WERMA Signaltechnik now provides a simple solution for the remote wireless monitoring of machinery. The "Wireless Information Network","WIN", for short, is a simple MDC system, enabling you to centrally monitor and evaluate the performance of up to fifty machines of varying ages and functions via wireless technology. Even machines which were not previously network-capable can now be integrated into networks.WIN can be easily installed via "plug & play" This straightforward installation process lets you centrally monitor your machines − whether temporarily or permanently. No additional wiring is needed as your existing WERMA signal towers can be used and the signals are transmitted via wireless technology.
WIN uses the 868 MHz frequency band and has a transmission range of 300 m (unobstructed line of sight). The indoor transmission range may be less depending on the characteristics of the building. However as every slave simultaneously functions as a "repeater", transmitting the signal received from other slaves to the master, the transmission range can be significantly increased.
Software for monitoring and analysing the machine operating status - CONTACT US
With the supplied software, the user can wireless monitor machinery by glancing at his PC. He can search for faults or analyse the operating status, thus raising the efficiency and productivity of his machines.A simple display interface enables intuitive operation and monitoring. The status descriptions of the individual signal elements can be defined in the software as required, e.g. tier one "Machine in operation", tier two "Retool", tier three "Fault".
 Status indication of the networked signal towers |  Productivity per machine | |
Failure analysis over time
The software displays the status of the signal towers integrated into the wireless network. The user can therefore specify which machine data he monitors and evaluates. A range of different analysis and monitoring modules are available (e.g. failure analysis over time, downtime per machine).The PC software can be quickly and easily installed and guides the user through the individual steps required to set up the wireless network.
The all inclusive kit: "WIN complete" for KOMBISIGN 71 - CONTACT US
With the all inclusive kit "WIN complete" you can immediately start monitoring up to three machines. All you have to do is mount the signal towers from the kit onto your machines. After installing the supplied software on to your PC you can immediately start monitoring the status of your machines.Each of the three pre-configured KOMBISIGN 71 signal towers has three LED permanent lights in red, yellow and green, as well as a WIN slave and a base with integrated tube for mounting. "WIN complete" can be expanded to up to fifty slaves per network via subsequent orders.
The kit also contains a WIN master, a USB cable, the handbook and PC software. The master, equipped with a small antenna, is positioned on the wall or next to the PC and connected via USB cable.
More choice with "WIN system" for KOMBISIGN 70 und 71
With "WIN system" the user has even more choice: The kit consists of a WIN master including the software, a USB cable and three pre-configured WIN slavesThe slaves are distributed amongst the existing WERMA signal towers, which need to be monitored. Or you can order your own signal towers from WERMA’s wide range of KombiSIGN products − enabling you to combine audible elements, different light effects, colours and mounting options as required.
The WIN system allows up to four machine states per machine to be monitored and can also be expanded to up to fifty slaves per network via subsequent order
