New Product: Engineering Monitoring System ComoScout

Kistler Japan G.K. Head office

Kistler's new process monitoring system, ComoScout, is a lightweight solution focused on general signals from sensors other than injection molding machines or in-mold pressure sensors. It is a simple and cost-effective tool for machine-based process monitoring, usable not only with existing machines but also as a gateway to the digital world. It is also appealing to industries like packaging, which have traditionally not emphasized process monitoring based on in-mold pressure sensors. ComoScout monitors signals from injection molding machines and from sensors providing voltage outputs of up to 10V. This opens up new possibilities for manufacturers who have previously hesitated to invest in process monitoring. The process monitoring system stabilizes production processes and allows for early detection of scrap, leading to waste reduction. It enables the identification, sorting, and recycling of defective parts, avoiding secondary costs and waste. Despite its low cost, ComoScout has many of the traditional monitoring features and the same appearance as ComoNeo. It remains economically viable even when retrofitting older machines with the latest data gateways.
