The ML series WatchPro display units are used for displaying production performance information to line managers and the shop floor workforce in medium to large sized manufacturing areas. They are typically mounted at the end of a production line so that all the workers on the production line can see the current production count and how close the production is to meeting the shift target.

The display unit can be provided in a single sided format or a double sided format where there are display Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s) mounted on both sides of the display unit.

When mounted above a production line, viewing distances of up to 40 metres are achievable using the 57mm LED display elements.

Different coloured lamps, built into the unit, are used to illuminate the DELIVERY, IN PROCESS, and OUTGOING lamp displays which provide a visual indication of production line status.  The labelling can be easily changed to suit individual customer requirements.

The MODEL/TARGET display line is used to display either the model being produced or the production shift target and the display line is alternated every 5 seconds between these two figures.  A model number of up to 8 characters long can be shown on this display line.

The display unit has opto-isolated inputs one of  which is used to connect to a production line sensor which provides the RESULT count on the display unit which is incremented for each unit produced.  A value in the range of 0 to 9999 can be displayed on this line.

The PROGRESS display line is used to show a figure which gives an indication of how far production is exceeding target or how far it is lagging target. e.g., if a value of 96 is shown then production is exceeding target by 96 units and if a value of –12 is shown then production is lagging target by 12 units.

The display unit is controlled by a microprocessor and the microprocessor firmware can be modified to suit any special requirements asked for by a customer.
