How is PROMEA commonly used?

  • Manufacturing & Production

    Capture product through-put and scrap rates on a minute-by-minute basis, analyze shift performance, and review hourly trends for patterns.

  • Facilities & Resources

    Monitor machine, line, or facility resource consumption from anywhere: non-invasive compressed air metering, electrical power, water flow.

  • Machine & Equipment

    Integrate machine PLC to 24/7 capture all process variables for analysis, monitor machine health, and utilize predictive maintenance technology.

  • Quality Control & Assurance

    Capture critical part performance characteristics in-line and in real-time with 3rd party SPC software integration.

 FAQs

  • While timing is application dependent, the majority of PROMEA systems can be built, installed, integrated, and running in 5-7 days. Typically, Novum quotes 4-6 weeks due to current supply chain constraints.

  • Based on the application and questionnaire information, Novum provides a fixed-price or leasing quotation within a matter of days.

  • We typically utilize a Secure Cellular Router to push data to the cloud from PROMEA without requiring a connection to the company network. It’s as “dangerous” as having a smartphone within the facility, so most IT groups allow this.

  • The PROMEA Edge controller typically requires 120 VAC x 60 Hz x 5 Amps. Additional current may be required based on the number of field sensors/connections of the application. PROMEA can also be solar-powered for remote field installations.

  • Novum utilizes cloud technology that maintains the highest security standards. We most typically utilize Amazon Web Services (Lightsail & RDS) for our SQL Databases.

  • Process Measurement & Analysis

  • Yes, we provide trial systems which is decided on a case-by-case basis depending on process measurement complexity, installation location, and long-term project potential. Contact Novum to request a trial for your application.

  • Yes, Novum offers a full-line of Industrial Automation support services including electrical panel upgrades, PLC programming, and machine retrofits.

  • The Promea Edge controller is designed to operate within -10 to 140 Fahrenheit temperatures, with IP65 rating. Optional Stainless Steel or IP69 washdown ratings are available upon request.

  • Yes, we allow private labeling of PROMEA for an additional fee.

  • We typically utilize industrial bus IO blocks to efficiently connect sensor/machine wiring back to the PROMEA Edge controller. When large distances are required we typically use an industrial Wireless Ethernet module (Sure Cross from Banner Engineering) to transmit data up to 2-3 miles.

  • Our standard PROMEA Edge Controller can sample up to 200 Hz while our High-Speed PROMEA Edge can sample up to 1 MHz (utilizing FPGA hardware). Typically, the PROMEA Edge Controller performs various analytics before pushing aggregate data to the cloud.

  • Novum is hardware agnostic. We choose the best hardware for the application. With that being said, PROMEA Edge typically utilizes a Rugged Industrial PC and a PLC/DAQ device, along with all supplementary components (circuit breakers, power supplies, etc.).
