This document describes the Cognex Explorer Real Time Monitoring (RTM) Controller, a device for aggregating and trending data from DataMan barcode readers…
The Cognex Explorer Real Time Monitoring (RTM) Controller is designed to aggregate and trend data collected by DataMan image-based barcode readers. It helps facility managers remove system defects and improve overall equipment efficiency (OEE) and throughput by providing access to current and historic key performance indicators.
The controller organizes data in easy-to-use dashboards to track performance, analyze metrics such as read rates and code quality, and identify root causes of issues like no-reads. It supports up to 20 networked devices and features an intuitive interface accessible via a browser or local HDMI display.
