Optimize your processes with this limited access, no-cost solution!

One big challenge for small and medium-sized manufacturers is going digital. To help, Polaris MEP has partnered with MxD who created the Sensor Kit, an easy and affordable tool that shows digital upgrades don’t have to be hard or costly.

The Sensor Kit is useful in facilities to collect data and monitor your machines, some of which may be too old or expensive to replace. It’s a no-code device that works with most sensors, helping manufacturers track their processes, reduce downtime, and avoid equipment failures.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• Manufacturers looking to adopt digital manufacturing practices but concerned about cost and complexity
• Manufacturers needing tools to monitor operations and reduce equipment downtime or failures.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Learn how Polaris MEP-provided sensor kits can help you track and identify data trends in your processes
• Learn how the sensor kits can help reduce waste and provide ample cost savings
• Understand the local support from Polaris MEP manufacturing advisors to strategically implement data collection devices and leverage the data for total productive maintenance
• Mini-Case Study! Hear from Chris Goodwin of Goodwin-Bradley how the Polaris MEP/MxD Sensor Kit has helped improve his company’s processes
