New Developments and Technologies
ProCom Automation continually evolves its IIoT platform, Clouver, to meet the growing demands of modern industry. One of the most significant developments is the integration of RFID technology, which enables automatic identification of production processes and precise counting of produced parts. In a customer project in Lithuania, RFID readers were introduced to track which product was being manufactured. Clouver then uses this information to count the produced parts by comparing signal sequences with a predefined pattern. The advantage: operators can fully focus on production, while the system handles data collection and monitoring.
Clouver now offers the ability to work with RFID and various sensors, allowing the software to automatically detect which product is being processed. This technology enables users to make production even more efficient and flexible.
Paperless Production and Intuitive User Interface
Another key advancement in Clouver’s evolution is the optimisation of paperless production processes. The system now features a new, user-friendly interface that seamlessly integrates with existing systems. Particularly helpful is the training phase for machine operators, used for storing patterns for each part. For instance, when producing size M gloves, Clouver stores the pattern in the database and assigns a part ID to the RFID data. It then counts the produced parts based on incoming signals. Additionally, the system can detect deviations from signal patterns and alert the operator.
Modern Displays for Greater Flexibility
A significant improvement in the Clouver system involves the use of displays. Previously, specialised displays with integrated PCs were utilised, providing a stable and powerful platform for Clouver software. Today, modern tablets are being used, offering the same high standards while being more flexible and easier to integrate into existing production environments. Furthermore, there is the option to use compatible devices, which reduces investment costs and simplifies the use of Clouver considerably.
Our aim is for users to quickly recognise the benefits. With the new structure and modern design, Clouver is much clearer and even more enjoyable to use.
New, Modernised User Interface
The enhancements to Clouver also include a completely redesigned user interface, which meets the latest standards in both aesthetics and functionality. Based on customer feedback, the design has been modernised, and the structure of the user interface has been revamped to make it even more intuitive. End users can now quickly access relevant dashboards and immediately gain an overview of critical production metrics. These improvements ensure that Clouver is not only more effective but also significantly more enjoyable to use. The new interface offers an attractive appearance and is structured in a way that seamlessly adapts to the specific needs of different production environments.
Flexibility and Tailored Solutions
Clouver stands out for its high flexibility and offers tailored solutions customised to the specific needs of each client. Unlike many competitors, which are often tied to certain control systems like Siemens, Clouver can work with a wide range of sensors and communication interfaces. In a customer project with a large company in Lithuania, the entire production was networked using Wi-Fi, without the need for additional cables. This demonstrates how adaptable and versatile Clouver is, whether it involves wired or wireless communication.
Years of Experience and Industry Expertise
What makes Clouver special is not just its advanced technology but also the decades of experience ProCom Automation has channelled into its development. For over 40 years, we have worked closely with industry partners, understanding their unique challenges and needs. This deep industry knowledge, combined with our expertise in digitalisation, makes Clouver one of the most reliable and long-lasting investments for companies seeking to future-proof their production processes. Customers particularly value the security that comes from our long-standing market presence – a key advantage over newer, less established competitors.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to our clients. Every client has specific needs, and that’s what makes our work so exciting. Clouver is tailored to ensure it meets the exact requirements of each customer.
Tailored Solutions for Every Client
Our experience shows that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for all clients. Every project requires bespoke adjustments, whether it's in the selection of sensors, the type of communication, or the specific requirements for production monitoring. For example, in a project with a large protective equipment manufacturer, customised key metrics were developed to minimise production errors and increase productivity. Such tailored solutions are only possible because Clouver is flexible enough to adapt to the unique demands of each client.
Conclusion
Clouver not only provides a platform for production monitoring but also offers a comprehensive solution tailored to the individual needs of clients. Our extensive industry experience, combined with continuous innovation, makes Clouver one of the leading IIoT platforms on the market. Thanks to its continuous development, Clouver remains a reliable partner in a rapidly changing industrial environment. The ability to customise solutions and utilise cutting-edge technologies ensures that companies stay competitive and can increase their efficiency in the long term. Trust in ProCom Automation and discover how you can optimise and future-proof your production processes with Clouver.
