SPECIALIST SYSTEMS
More Than Monitoring And Control
Alongside our core systems, we build and support a range of specialist systems for specific jobs on the shop floor — measuring, tracking, alerting and logging. Each one is engineered in-house and shaped around the process it's serving.
TALLY BEAM SYSTEM
Automated timber measurement and production tracking for sawmills.
Accurately measuring timber as it moves through a sawmill provides a clear picture of production, output and capacity. Tascomp's Tally Beam Systems automatically identify and count different lengths of timber as they pass along the production line, providing accurate production information in real time.
The Tally Beam System provides a dedicated solution for automated timber measurement and production tracking, with the option to expand into wider PlantRun functionality such as OEE, downtime reason tracking, production monitoring, work instructions and SCADA-style visualisation.
ENERGY & UTILITIES MONITORING SYSTEM
Track consumption alongside production in real time, and see what your utilities actually cost you.
With the cost of utilities continuing to rise, the obvious thing to do is to reduce usage. Understanding what is being used, whether it is electricity, fuel, water, gas or steam, is the key to this — and Tascomp's Energy & Utility monitoring systems provide the real-time monitoring and comprehensive analytics needed.
The data is made visible with dashboards showing various KPIs including usage, cost per product and CO2e, and standard reports are automatically generated and emailed to the appropriate people.
They include real-time trend recording for high-speed analysis and half-hourly data recording for standard reporting. Alarm monitoring brings attention to problems before they escalate, or even predicts problems before they begin. The systems cover all the basic requirements and more: tariff charges are included and can be expanded to cover costs per product, per job or per employee. The recorded data is also accessible through SQL and Excel, so AI platforms such as ChatGPT and common tools such as Power BI can be employed to provide additional analysis and display capabilities.

Raise an issue where it happens, and get the right person to it quickly.
Getting the right person to the right problem quickly can make a significant difference to production performance. Tascomp's Andon Systems provide a simple way for operators to raise issues at the point of occurrence, while giving supervisors, maintenance and management immediate visibility of what is happening.
Andon calls can be configured around your own escalation routes.
The Andon System can therefore be implemented as a straightforward, low-cost starting point, or expanded to incorporate wider PlantRun functionality such as downtime monitoring, OEE, production targets, work instructions and performance dashboards.
DATALOGGER
Accurate, high-resolution recording — from a handful of sensors to a full process record.
The requirement for accurate data is growing, whether that is for a proof-of-process requirement, traceability of batches, or to get a better understanding of a process using AI tools such as Copilot and Gemini.
A wide variety of sensors can be used, and longer-distance wireless connectivity can be deployed where cabling isn't practical.
