Wintriss Controls Announces a New Flagship Press Automation Controller
Smart-PAC PRO Offers Large Color Touch Screen, Remote Access and Backward Compatibility
ACTON, MASS. (January 23, 2018) -- Wintriss Controls Group announces the release of its new SmartPAC PRO press automation controller. The SmartPAC PRO features a vibrant touch screen interface, dual-core processors, user-configurable dashboards, unlimited tool setup memory, and the ability to share setups among networked SmartPAC PRO units.
The new SmartPAC PRO architecture supports advanced connectivity features such as remote access from PCs and mobile devices, email messaging, and compatibility with Wintriss's IIoT production tracking solution ShopFloorConnect, all the while maintaining backward compatibility with all legacy SmartPAC 1 and 2 modules, including the DiProPAC die protection system, ProCamPAC programmable limit switch, WaveFormPAC tonnage signature monitor, WPC 2000 Clutch/Brake control, and others.
The Wonderware® hosting option enables the SmartPAC PRO to run independently-created third-party HMIs for associated automation, reducing the number of screens required on the press.
The SmartPAC Pro's new tool summary screen enables users to view the entire contents of each programmed setup on a single screen, provides a place for users to place notes for the job, and can be exported to a USB disk as comma-separated values.
Users can create custom home screen dashboards to display the information they use most often. These dashboards can be named and saved in the favorites menu, and quickly recalled any time.
The company debuted the SmartPAC Pro press automation controller at Fabtech 2017 in Chicago in November.
"We saw significant interest both from current customers seeking these types of upgrades and new prospects," said Mark Hatch, President of Wintriss Controls. "Customers who have come to appreciate the reliability of SmartPAC controllers will find a host of new features that further improve their metal stamping operations."

Wintriss ShopFloorConnect Software Generates Tool Maintenance Alerts
Wintriss Controls today announced a new capability for its popular ShopFloorConnect Production Tracking and OEE software. ShopFloorConnect now has the ability to automatically generate text and email alerts when stamping dies or other tooling is due for maintenance.
Each alert is a custom text or email message that is sent to selected recipients whenever preset conditions are met at a machine. The alerts can be used to notify an operator when an unattended machine has stopped running, to alert management when a critical customer job goes down, or to summon specific resources when specific conditions exist at a machine - such as automatically notifying a fork lift driver when a scrap bin needs to be replaced. ShopFloorConnect can generate multiple alerts for each machine, and select recipients according to their individual work or shift schedules
"This feature provides our customers with a new set of tools to improve productivity", explains Jim Finnerty, Product Manager for ShopFloorConnect. "Because they can respond more quickly to each event, users have been able to significantly reduce downtime - even on machines where further process-related downtime reduction was considered cost-prohibitive."
