Washdown NEMA 4 computers on the plant floor
We MANUFACTURE washdown computers
WASHDOWN COMPUTERS/PERIPHERAL CONNECTIONS And MOBILE CARTS.

We are one of the largest suppliers of industrial washdown and dustproof computers to the food industry with over 3300 sold in 5 countries. Our NEMA 4x rated computers is the main unit for the operators out on the production lines. They come in screen sizes of 12” 15” and 17” and have multiple keyboard options.

The connections:

While the computers are of course are very important so are the connections from all peripheral devices such as scales, temperature probes and calipers. When we supply the hardware for your SPC project, WE DELIVER ALL units completely wired with washdown connections and ready to plug and play. Meaning nothing to have to install ON THE JOB from utilizing your time and resources.

Washdown scales to interface to those computers
Our “sister” company is an ISO 17025 cal lab
SPC SYSTEMS USUALLY NEED SCALES- AND WE ARE WASHDOWN SCALE EXPERTS.

We have been in the scale business for 28 years and our “sister” company is an ISO 170125:2005 accredited calibrations lab. We have supplied thousands of scales to our customers nationwide, but more than just selling scales, we HONOR THE WARRANTEES, SUPPLY PARTS and CONNECT THEM TO OUR COMPUTERS. We are factory authorized dealers for Sartorius and many other scale brands. Each of our scales comes with an ISO accredited calibration certificate.

Temperature probe and caliper data
We interface these devices to our computers
WE AUTOMATE YOUR DATA COLLECTION WITH WIRED INTERFACES FROM TEMP PROBES AND CALIPERS.

With other systems you can take dimension and temperature data for the subgroups but then usually have to write down the values that you get from these devices. With Sigma and InfinityQS, that is a thing of the past. not only are the scales connected, but all data from our temperature probes and washdown calipers are entered into Infinity with the push of a button! No more hand entered dataerrors, time and money is saved and, of course, all our connections are IP67 rated and sealed.

SIMPLE interface for the plant floor operators
This is our priority also- and we succeeded
WE UNDERSTAND THAT IF THE OPERATORS CANT OR WONT USE THE SYSTEM, THE PROJECT WILL PROBABLY CRATER.

Infinity QS has one of the cleanest industrial interfaces that can be found on any high end software application. We make it even better. Working with you and your needs for the operators, we can configure an interface that allows both line operators and mangers to take navigate the entire processing line(s) data entry and viewing with ease. Most of the navigation is done through with minimal touchscreen entries- many times with just one “button” push.

Integration to checkweighers and metal detectors
Them and more- including ovens, freezers etc.
WALK, JOG and then RUN!

Many times, our customers SPC projects start with taking samples off of the line in groups of 10 or 20, weigh them on our scales, get the temperatures of the subgroup and maybe an attribute of two. Automating the handwritten “clipboard” proves and putting all of the data into the InfinityQS database is paramount. However then next step is usually integrating your checkweighers and metal detectors. We offer both ONE WAY (the machine sends data to the InfinityQS database) and TWO WAY (Any product changes can be broadcast from the network to all checkweighers or metal detectors without the operators having to make any changes) INTERFACES. We call the data generated by your inline checkweighers and metla detectors “free data”, as these machines work tirelessly all day long but the data is usually never really captured or analyzed. And they do have a story to tell as it pertains to your product quality and yield.

An integrator with on staff developers
Our developers will customize to your application
AS COMPLETE AS STATpaq and INFINITYQS IS, YOUR NEEDS ARE USUALLY GREATER.

NO software application on the market does everything that is needed for any given project. And our STATpaq system and InfinityQS is no different. Customization is key when decreasing ROI time and making the system work the way that YOU want it to work. We offer complete design and programming services. This includes remote data collection needs that has nothing to do necessarily with “Statistical Process Control”.

NO finger pointing when something doesn’t work
Call one number (or our cell phones) 243/7/365
NO MORE FINGER POINTING AMONG MULTIPLE VENDORS.

Every one of our customers have experienced this before. You choose multiple vendors for a project and when something goes wrong, all of the vendors dutifully check their products and many times pronounce them in perfect working order… “can’t be our stuff, it works”. Heard that before?

When you choose to partner with Sigma, you will NEVER be put through that charade. Since we supply most of the hardware for the project, the software and the consulting/training you have only ONE PHONE NUMBER TO CALL 24/7/365. Since we partner with Infinity and Sartorius, we know their products intimately, you have them to back us up as well and WE co-ordinate those phone calls for you. Less friction allows projects to be implemented faster and reduces the all important ROI time span.
