MHS highlights Lifecycle Performance Services to keep automation at peak efficiency at Promat 2019

MHS introduces its Lifecycle Performance Services (LPS) division, a part of the company dedicated to maximizing uptime and reliability of automated systems, while making the most efficient use of maintenance resources.

CHICAGO (April 09, 2019) - At ProMat 2019 in Chicago's McCormick Place, MHS (www.mhsglobal.com) introduces its Lifecycle Performance Services (LPS) division, a part of the company dedicated to maximizing uptime and reliability of automated systems, while making the most efficient use of maintenance resources. At booth #N6359, attendees can see the company's complete lineup of services to maintain, support, optimize and modify systems for maximum performance and longevity.


"Today's e-commerce-driven supply chains cannot afford downtime, but the skilled labor necessary to keep them running is becoming increasingly scarce," says John Sorensen, senior vice president, Lifecycle Performance Services, MHS. "We combine a comprehensive service offering, the latest technology and industry expertise to deliver the reliable performance customers demand and reduce total cost of operations."

A recent Ernst & Young report highlights the challenges operations face transitioning to a more data-driven era, reporting that businesses do not know the contents of 54 percent of the data they collect. Rather than covering facilities in sensors, MHS focuses on the most critical assets and failure-prone areas to provide the greatest value in the most efficient framework. MHS Insights is the company's application of IoT technologies and predictive analytics to deliver targeted, practical insights to identify and resolve issues before they become critical problems.

Representatives from LPS will be on-site at ProMat booth #N6359 to guide attendees through interactive presentations of a variety of solutions and services, including MHS Insights, upgrades and modifications, supply and management of OEM parts, contract maintenance services and more.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
