Smart fault analysis for your production

What to do in the event of a fault? Quick action is required to minimize machine downtimes. However, the cause must first be found before the error can be fixed. And this is often anything but easy in complex integrated systems – especially in the event of irregular and unpredictable faults.

With B-Trace, you leave nothing to chance: our production monitoring solution observes and documents all processes down to the smallest detail, enabling a reliable diagnosis of your system, even in challenging cases. Save time and money on troubleshooting, so your foam cutting machine can get back up and running smoothly as soon as possible!

Seamless monitoring

B-Trace monitors and saves all of your machine's process and operating data, so you don't miss a thing.

Reliable troubleshooting

The collected data serves as the basis for fault analysis. Sources of faults can therefore be traced back precisely.

Less machine downtime

B-Trace saves you valuable time: the faster the cause of the fault is found, the sooner the problem can be solved.

Significant cost savings

With a one-off investment in a retrofit, you reduce the cost of time-consuming troubleshooting for every malfunction.

Optional remote support

With our SOPHIE access remote maintenance system, our service technicians can also access your machine remotely. Anytime, anywhere.

Highest security standards

Data transmission with SOPHIE access is fast and absolutely secure via an encrypted connection.

Production monitoring: how to track down the fault

The core of our B-Trace is an industrial box PC equipped with special software, which is installed in the switch cabinet of your foam cutting machine. Connected to the machine control system via a PLC interface, the computer records and saves all process and operating data permanently and, if required, over longer periods of time. As soon as the fault you are looking for occurs, the data measured at the relevant time can be evaluated and the cause reliably determined.

Don't want to lose any time when resolving your machine malfunction? Then combine production monitoring with our smart remote maintenance system SOPHIE access! Direct service access enables immediate troubleshooting or targeted preparation for swift restoration of your machine availability.

The data is transmitted in compliance with the highest security standards, as used by banks or professional online stores:

  • By activating an external service switch on the machine's switch cabinet, you, as the client, initiate the setup of the VPN tunnel.
  • Your network is only used as a transport route. Unwanted access to the factory network is completely ruled out.
  • An integrated firewall and encrypted information additionally secure the connection. The https connection is automatically recognized by your system.
  • Security settings in your customer network do not need to be changed. Time-consuming configurations? Not necessary.

B-Trace as a retrofit: Also for your foam cutting machine?

Our B-Trace data logger can be connected to almost any Bäumer machine delivered since 1998. Data streams from machines from other manufacturers can also be recorded with our retrofit.
