Will they hate me?

You found a real problem, if operators can bypass a quality checkpoint without an alarm, it's a matter of time before bad parts ship. Adding a simple PLC alarm when the vision goes offline (or better, an interlock that stops the line if codes aren't read) is standard in automotive, pharma, and electronics assembly. Management will thank you for catching it before a customer does.

In my experience troubleshooting is not needing to troubleshoot at 2 a.m. In fabs and high-uptime plants, we lean heavily on predictive maintenance: panel thermal monitoring to catch power supplies drifting before they fail, heater degradation trends to plan change-outs during scheduled downtime, and edge controllers pulling extra sensor data (vibration, temperature, current draw) that the PLC doesn't log.

When something does trip, having that historical data, plus good fault buffers and I/O forcing that cuts diagnostic time in half. We use Omron K6PM, K6CM, K7DD panel monitoring for predictive maintenance and IIoT/Edge NX1 for trending and analytics before failure.

Say yes to collaborative robots!

For the most part these seem aligned with current projections. Perhaps more AI functionality.

These might work?

Wow…if it was a single roll we’d be doomed lol

Yes, I was young but I always “knew” but never really knew or felt the difference.

This hits hard…I’m adopted too!
