Silae Essentials sensor

• Silae has developed a patent-protected Industrial IOT sensor that works with all makes and models of sewing machines
• The sensor has two parts to it
  • A power unit that is installed below the table
  • A desk unit that sits on top of the table
• The power unit automatically records operational data when the machine is running and streams it back using WiFi to our backend
• The desk unit allows users to tap RFID cards that are attached to material bundles to record that it’s arrived at the desk
• Details for the step can be added using the Silae Production app
• Silae automatically records operational data against the step and bundle. If the operator has tapped their ID card on the sensor, it also records operator working on the system
• The desk unit also has a push button
  • Press to signal manual completion of the operation on an individual piece from the bundle (optional)
  • Press and hold for 3 seconds to indicate a short stop (if the operator wants a break). Alternately, Silae registers a short stop if the machine is idle for 3 minutes.
  • Press and hold for 5 seconds to indicate a machine breakdown
