Perkasie, PA (PRWEB) November 23, 2007 -- In a joint development effort, Control Solutions, Inc. and Delta Technical Systems announce the release of a Machine Monitoring and Control (MM&C) unit designed with Eaton Cutler-Hammer components to address the increasing need for real-time machine data collection and display that network with production management systems. This is an especially useful device for facilities managers that want to track machine maintenance data that is not available from their proprietary or closed control systems.

The Machine Monitoring & Control (MM&C) Unit can interface with machine controls or sensors (without disturbing the current control scheme/control wiring) to display, trend and report vital maintenance and production information to plant, maintenance, and operation managers and has the ability to connect machines over a network to an information server for important data collection, analysis and reporting. Data can be transferred over a company wide or independent network through secured wireless transmission, copper or fiber cabling media. Data Collection devices such as bar code and RFID scanners are easily integrated into the unit for capturing operator and work order information to increase manufacturing productivity and eliminate costly recording errors.
