Interstacks monitors machines and sensors so you can increase productivity and reduce maintenance costs. It does this by using snap-together, modular electronic blocks – Stacks, and an optional integrated IoT cloud platform – MyStacks. Interstacks complete, easy-to-use solution means you will be up and running in minutes. Your Interstacks support engineer will pre-program your stacks to meet your needs and setup initial dashboards at no cost.

Add real-time asset performance management (APM) to your enterprise. Asset performance monitoring is one of many IIoT solutions using Interstacks. Send acquired data to the MyStacks IoT cloud platform or the server of your choice.
According to lean manufacturing metrics (measured by overall equipment effectiveness, or OEE), world-class manufacturing sites are working at 85% of their theoretical capacity. Yet the average factory is only at about 60%, meaning there’s vast room for improvement in terms of productivity.
Monitor machine OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) in real time and view on any phone, tablet, or laptop. Use a power consumption sensor and/or dry contact switch inputs connected to an Interstack’s stack. 
Many machine operations can be determined via analyzing the high resolution power consumption data. In the above MyStacks IoT dashboard screenshot, power consumption sensor levels are set for “Machine Off”, “Machine On”, and “Machine On-Load”. Detailed second-by-second machine usage is analyzed, saved, and reported on.
The Interstacks OEE starter kits include a Superbase – Analog In Universal – I/O Expander – and Ethernet or Wifi blocks. Includes 30/60/120 Amp power sensor (current transducer). Clamp the sensor around one of the AC lines powering a machine. Sensors are sampled once per second, timestamped, and sent to the MyStacks cloud dashboard for saving, visualizing, and text/email alerts. Optionally connect any dry contact switch inputs to measure cycle times for stamping, packaging, cutting or other operations. Report on cycle counts by hour, by shift, and by day. All data is saved in a database and can also be exported to CSV files for importing into spreadsheets.
