Network solution monitors multiple metal detectors in real time

Mettler-Toledo Safeline, Inc. introduces Explorer, an innovative software program designed to network Safeline metal detectors from multiple locations to a central computer. According to the company, the program provides secure, real-time operating status for every metal detector on the network from anywhere in the world.

Safeline’s Explorer software has a user-friendly, intuitive graphic interface and operates on a standard TCP/IP network. Its communication is bi-directional, allowing managers to change parameters on individual detectors on the network, as well as receive critical, real-time information such as reject counts, detector on-line status, power failures and network instability.

“With Explorer’s ability to securely and remotely access data as well as alter settings of any metal detectors on the network, managers can more efficiently control their operations,” said Joe Gianfalla, Marketing Manager. “Explorer software offers plant owners a viable means to increase productivity.”

While Explorer has built-in event and trend analysis reports, managers can create customized detailed reports and customized alerts which can be sent by email, cell phone, pager or any other SMTP compatible device.

All data is automatically compiled and logged and are exportable into any ODBC compliant application, such as Microsoft Access and Excel or Crystal Reports and others. The software is also compatible with other existing corporate audit systems.

Explorer is available for both the Safeline Certus Metal Detector and the Powerphase Plus Metal Detector, and is backward compatible with older models with a simple firmware upgrade.
