DL-SMART

DL-SMART is a system which is pairable with the granular adhesive charger EASY-CHARGE which is also compatible with the characteristics of the 4.0 industry.

With DL-SMART, it’s possible to remotely control every statistic, remote maintenance and configuration function of the granular adhesive charger Easy-charge, this offers many benefits giving the possibility to check the production efficiancy of the lines, optimize adhesive supply and allows for a fast and easy verification of the adhesive charge system. The DL-SMART system consists of the main unit, equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (or LAN) interfaces, and of a weighing platform on which the Easy-charge charger is placed.

The Bluetooth interface is used to set the system up, which can be done using the following tools:

• DL-SMARTcom software for PC equipped with Windows Windows® XP or newer operative system
• App DL-SMART for mobile devices equipped with Android 5.0 or newer operative systems

On the main unit, initially the parameters related to which WiFi the DL-SMART must be connected to are inserted; the weighing platform is also set up, which allows the system to measure the quantity of adhesive used with extremely high precision. After the initial configuration, the DL-SMART is integrated to the network to which it is paired with and can be controlled from any PC that is connected to the same network.

• Storage optimization: about procuring the consumable materials used by the production lines (adhesive, boxes, packaging, etc.) and controlling the stocks of the produced merchandise.
• Remote assistance: thanks to the possibility to check with distance and in real time all the charging phases and the state of the system. it’s possibile show any anomalies and machine stops right away on the production line, optimizing the reset and functioning times.
• Precise production statistics: thanks to the measure of the quantity of adhesive charged and the time when it was done. In case of multi-channel Easy-charge, the statistics are divided channel by channel.
• Activating rental mode: for those clients who need to use the Easy-charge charger for short periods of time and want to avoid the purchase

After setting the DL-SMART up, by using the DL-SMARTcom software, it’s possible to download the data related to the statistics and remote assistance:

• Synchronize the clock/calendar of the DL-SMART with the one from the PC to have maximum precision of the adhesive consumption related to the production lot
• Download the data related to the quantity of adhesive transferred and/or the cancellation of the archive. The download can be done manually, with the action of an operator, or automatically at preset times. If the download of the data is impossible (for example because of connection problems), the software shows a warn signal, possibly via e-mail.
• Verify the system status and the functioning of every part (mixer blade, aspiration pumps, weighing platform, level sensor etc.)
• Select the position and the modalities of data saving downloaded from the DL-SMART. It’s possible to save the archive in any folder inside the PC itself, or any network path (so this allows you to share the archive to other users).

Any downloaded data is saved in a file in MDB format (compatible with Microsoft Access), however, DL-SMART is equipped with the DL-DataManager program which allows you to view the saved data, filtering it through parameters chosen by the user and showing it in a bar graph together with details such as the quantity of adhesive transferred calculated on one or more channels. DL-DataManager can also export the saved data in CSV format (compatible with Microsoft Excel), to make analizing and managing flexible to the user’s needs.
