Visual Management

Overview:
Red Lion's ProducTVity Station is a ready-to-deploy plant floor visual management system that displays real-time Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data and Andon messages on large televisions to drive efficiency. Ideal for factory floors, processing plants or any place where performance needs to be tracked and monitored, this visual management system lets you create sophisticated production scoreboards using standard, consumer-grade LCD, LED or plasma TVs.

Data Management: 
The ProducTVity Station's built-in data logger with timestamping can record key performance indicators, as well as Andon events for later review or analysis. The ProducTVity Station includes a 2GB CompactFlash card for recording data and events.

Connectvity: 
Red Lion's ProducTVity Station comes standard with one 10/100Base-T(X) Ethernet port, two RS-232 and one RS-422/485 serial ports, and one USB Host port. Additionally one DVI video output port can output 720p resolution to any large television. The included expansion slot allows for modular communication options cards including CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus, or additional serial and Ethernet ports.

Communication:
Communicating with over 300 different protocols, the ProducTVity Station can connect to automation equipment including PLCs, drives, motion controllers and/or PID controllers making integration into new or existing applications easy.

Collection:
With its built-in data logger, Red Lion's ProducTVity Station offers a powerful means for recording continuous data as well as KPI events and Andon messages. Data can be acquired from any connected devices and compiled into CSV-formatted files, where it can be stored, displayed, emailed or automatically synchronized with an FTP or Microsoft SQL server.

Crimson Software:
Red Lion’s powerful Crimson® 3.0 software is a remarkable programming platform that unlocks the power of the ProducTVity Station with simple drag-and-drop, point-and-click configuration. And unlike competitive solutions that charge you extra for cumbersome software, Red Lion’s Crimson software is included with each ProducTVity Station.
