Quick identification of problems

From understanding the situation when a problem occurs to isolating the cause and taking the necessary
countermeasures, the time it takes to resolve problems can be greatly reduced.

KV-8000 Solution

Automatic recording makes understanding the situation easy.

Reliable record for reproducing and checking what happened

The KV-8000 records data whenever a problem occurs, allowing users to analyse the occurrence by reviewing the data
obtained. This ensures accurate understanding of the situation even for problems that do not occur frequently.

The ability to remotely reproduce the situation when the problem occurred
improves response efficiency.
Accurate understanding of the situation without leaving the office
Delivery destinations for equipment are often remote, including overseas, making it difficult to get an accurate grasp of the
situation by phone or email information when a problem occurs. The KV-8000 automatically records information from ladder
programs, cameras, and events onto an SD card, enabling a thorough understanding of the device status just from the
received data.

Limit the number of required trips, and ensure proper preparedness

The ability to reproduce the situation when the problem occurred without needing to be on site makes it possible to determine
whether the situation can be rectified without the need for travel. If travelling to the site is necessary, only the necessary
preparations can be made before departing, reducing overall labour hours.

 For management workers

Increase operation rate

Reducing equipment downtime is a key aspect to improving the rate of operations at a manufacturing site. Nevertheless,
eliminating equipment stoppage all together is very difficult. This means predictive maintenance for preventing problems before
they occur, and appropriate responses whenever a problem does occur (follow-up maintenance), have become important.
