Global Paper Towel, Tissue Manufacturers Using Xplore Rugged Tablets to Extend Life of Production Line Equipment
17 Abril 2018 - 10:00AM
Xplore Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:XPLR) today announced that Futura
S.p.A, an Italian manufacturer of industrial production plant
machinery, is providing an Xplore F5m rugged tablet-based solution
to all of its customers as part of the standard “scope of supply”
for its tissue converting equipment. Xplore’s durable 10.4”
Windows® mobile computer, rebranded the Futura ProTablet, now
serves as the all-in-one data and field-task system for maintenance
work conducted on Futura-equipped toilet, kitchen, and
professional-grade tissue production lines in factories around the
world. For example, tablet users can access the Futura Procare
Portal and Procare Factory online services for intuitive,
step-by-step maintenance guides and real-time, remote expert
support using an augmented reality experience.
“Futura’s converting lines are used for everything from the
unwinding of tissue from jumbo reels to the cutting of tissue rolls
to prepare for packaging,” explained Alessandro Viani, ICT Group
Manager, Faper Group S.p.A. “Given consumer demand for these paper
necessities, it is essential that our technology operate at peak
performance levels if our customers are to meet production and
delivery deadlines.”
“Futura was looking for a way to help their manufacturing
customers move from a time-consuming maintenance workflow to a
fully mobile, technology-based process for their highly complex
machinery. Traditional manual inspection, diagnostic and repair
processes resulted in unacceptable levels of equipment downtime,”
added John Graff, vice president of marketing at Xplore. “Today,
the Xplore F5m-based solution enables some of the largest toilet
paper and paper towel brands in the world to control, monitor, and
maintain this heavy industrial machinery in real-time.”
The Xplore and Futura-developed ProTablet solution gives
manufacturers’ technicians a rugged tablet-based maintenance
computing system that can be hand-carried onto the shop floor and
plugged directly into the converting machines for diagnostic tasks.
It also provides a direct connection to the warehousing and records
systems that support maintenance tasks, allowing for a more
automated workflow. ProTablet users can access standalone software
applications such as the Futura Components Engine – which provides
exploded views and manual documentation – and the Convergence
Mobile video maintenance system.
