Abstract
A system and method of receiving and processing granular printing and curing data, and graphically displaying data to improve quality and production. The outputted data can include graphical information illustrating relationships between important multivariate data in a typical industrial printing or converting process. One or more chemical sensors can measure curing data and communicate the data for processing and control of the subject machines of the system.
Claims6
A chemical sensor system configured to measure ink curing, comprising:
- a cartridge body having:
- an inlet port;
- one or more air flow channels in fluid communication with the inlet port and having at least one turbulence generator channel to mix incoming air with volatile organic compounds (VOCs);
- a chemical sensor provided in fluid communication with the at least one turbulence generator channel to measure VOCs levels;
- an outlet port in fluid communication with the chemical sensor and the one or more air flow channels;
- and
- a fan device configured to pull VOCs through the one or more air flow channels;
- at least one communication line to facilitate operative communication of sensor data from the chemical sensor to one or more cloud-based servers;
- and
- one or more computing devices in operative communication with one or more cloud-based servers, the one or more computing devices configured to:
- receive aggregated sensor data from the one or more cloud-based server;
- and
- display a visual dashboard on the one or more computing devices, the visual dashboard including at least a machine display region and a process radar region, with the machine display region having one or more selectable images and the process radar region having a plurality of data point plots based on the aggregated sensor data.
