What is Trace&Follow and how can it help my business?

Trace&Follow is a platform developed by IDT to monitor energy consumption, raw material usage, and production efficiency for every machine in an industrial plant. It can remotely shut down machines to save energy, monitor alarms, track piece counts, and geolocate machines within the plant.

What unique features does Trace&Follow offer?

Trace&Follow offers a wide range of features, including remote monitoring and control of machines, tracking of production efficiency, and associating collected data with specific batches or individual products.

What are the advantages of using Trace&Follow compared to other industrial monitoring systems?

Trace&Follow offers a comprehensive approach to industrial monitoring, combining energy monitoring, production tracking, and remote control in one integrated platform.

Energy Platform

Trace&Follow is a platform completely designed and developed by the RedSmart, BU of IDT, to monitor energetic consumption, raw material consumption and production efficiency for

every machine of an industrial plant.

TRACE&FOLLOW

Trace&Follow is a platform completely designed and developed by the RedSmart, BU of IDT, to monitor energetic consumption, raw material consumption and production efficiency for every machine of an industrial plant.

The Trace&Follow board is able to send acquired data to a Cloud platform/server using different connectivity options: WiFi, Ethernet, LTE, LoRaWAN (for long range with a single gateway).
Via the double MQTT connection that the board offers, it can also send data via MQTT to external servers/ERPs.
It includes four digital inputs, four digital outputs, and a Modbus TCP server, enabling the sending of commands and direct acquisition of data to and from a machine PLC. The design follows a modular approach, allowing the installation of only necessary modules and expansion of functionalities.

Cloud Platform

The Trace&Follow devices send data to data collection systems on local servers as well as on the Cloud.

API Open Source

It is possible to integrate the data from Trace&Follow devices into your own software or management systems through the use of Open Source APIs.

Connectivity Options

The data transmission from Trace&Follow devices can occur via WiFi, Ethernet, LTE, or LoraWan, allowing the solution to adapt to any industrial environment.

Energy Monitoring

The uniqueness of the solution lies in its ability, through energy monitoring, to also track production efficiency and associate the collected data with a specific batch or individual product.

Data Integration

In addition to energy monitoring, Trace&Follow devices also collect key data from machines non-invasively through digital I/O, making it a perfect system for machines currently considered obsolete.

SUCCESS STORY

Manitowoc Inc.

One concrete example of Trace&Follow in action is at Manitowoc Inc. (Niella Tanaro's plant), where 27 units were deployed across different machine types and manual welders, automatic machines, machine tools.

This allowed comparative analysis of consumption/performance, visibility per machine, and strategic optimization of workflows and energy usage.
