ADVANCED SOFTWARE
User-friendly, high-capability programs that make an impact on efficiency and profitability.
These days advances in automation engineering go hand-in-hand with state-of-the-art software development.
Around the world, Ishida has teams of talented software developers, many of them also engineers. All have experienced the realities of shop-floor production across many product applications. They work to the highest industry standards, ensuring that their programs are user-friendly and compatible with all widely-used software, from Word to SCADA.
Their achievements range from better co-ordination of multihead weighers with upstream cut-up operations to improvements in traceability and refinements of techniques such as X-ray inspection.
This experience makes them uniquely qualified to develop outstanding stand-alone software packages, with major benefits for businesses. It is reflected in a growing base of enthusiastic users.

Product Details
Ishida SENTINEL is a machine performance monitoring tool providing detailed performance reporting and a range of specialist Advanced Support options when needed.
Offering the option of a “permanent security watch” on machine performance and notification of potential faults (whether actual or impending), Ishida SENTINEL provides a new level of assurance for customers operations. The raw data is accessible to you at all times, as well as a wide choice of clearly presented, useful, decision-enhancing information derived from it.
Production line equipment such as checkweighers, multihead weighers, tray sealers, graders and bagmakers can all be connected to a central system manned by Ishida engineers.
Its outstanding data capture, analysis and clear customer reporting formats ensure faults or deteriorating productivity can be identified quickly so corrective actions can be taken before any losses could escalate.
ISHIDA IDCS DATA CAPTURE SYSTEM
Whether it’s Average Weight versus Target Weight or Frequency of Rejects, Ishida IDCS Data Capture System enables you to spot quickly where product is being wasted or given away. You can respond right away with improved settings, better maintenance or extra training to stop the drain on profits.
The IDCS collects data from every pack that has passed through your Ishida checkweigher and integrated metal detectors, generating dynamic, graphic displays and reports (see table) with a wide range of profitable uses.
The system provides all the information you need to reduce giveaway and downtime to increase efficiency (including Overall Equipment Efficiency, OEE), making a real and lasting contribution to your production line.
The capabilities of the system include live display of losses through overfilling, presented as pounds sterling or euros; presentation of incentive schemes to motivate shop floor staff as they interact with the device; data collection that can identify whether training or equipment adjustments is needed and many more examples.
