Blue.Print - Risk Assessment software

blue.print is a software developed by Schmersal that can already be used worldwide to carry out risk assessments. The advantage for the customer – especially for large companies with many international branches: The software enables standardized procedures and a standardized presentation of results on a global level, thus avoiding isolated solutions. At the same time, however, the SAP-based software can also be customized to individual user requirements.

Schmersal is continuously expanding blue.print so that in future the entire project management process – from the initial quotation to invoicing – can be handled using the software.

tec.ps - Product Service System

Storage and visualization

The Product Service System is designed to store and visualize factory floor data collected from PLCs, safety controllers and IoT devices. This data is used to provide insight into production and productivity, and to monitor the measurements and calculations required by safety system regulations such as HRN and Time Mission.

The Product Service System uses consolidated communication methods such as MQTT and OPC UA, as well as the ability to integrate with databases and APIs. All collected data is made available and centralized in a dedicated operating station for each client, making the platform a multi-tenant concept.

Furthermore, the Product Service System complies with international privacy standards. Each user has their own navigation environment, with dashboards designed for quick analysis of the information available. It is also possible to manage customized and standardized alerts, making the tool more versatile

tec.ssm - Schmersal Smart Machine

Our engineering team is ready to understand our customers’ technological requirements and translate them into simple and effective solutions.

Computational Vision Solutions

If you can see, we can measure

A modular ecosystem of video analytics solutions that integrates information from multiple challenges faced by industries into a single environment. We can measure images, performance indicators, availability, quality and above all the safety of people and equipment.

An IP camera image capture system is used for implementation, and it is even possible to use al-ready installed devices. Processing and decision-making can be done on site or in the cloud, and reports are made available via a customized dashboard platform. Our product is divided into three different categories:

tec.stepsafe – Artificial Intelligence for Accident Reduction

Video analytics system for Safety, Health and Environment (SHE). The system recognizes potential risks in real time, through detection and recognition of dangerous interactions between humans, objects and the work environment.

The system detects:

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) usage during activities
Suspended loads proximity and inclination
Controlled areas access
Proximity with dangerous objects
Falls and accidents

tec.stepmotion – Behavioural and Interaction Analysis System

Video analysis system that recognizes human actions on the factory floor, capable of

Performing real-time chronoanalysis
Detecting all human actions in the area, segregated by occupational profile
Evaluating compliance with routines, checklists and set-up standards
Identifying usage patterns and defects in equipment
Analyzing and standardizing execution and performance
Identifying bottlenecks and points of inefficiency

tec.stepscan – Unified Characteristics Classifier

tec.stepscan is a system capable of recognizing various quality standards, extracting information from:

Format and dimensions
Counting and losses
Recognition of visual defects
Conformity analysis (e.g. holes)
Pointing out the cause and effect of problems for immediate resolution
Trend analysis

tec.dloto - Digital Lockout Tagout

Equipment blocking – audited and confirmed by software

The Digital Lockout Tagout (tec.dloto) software helps to implement procedures and manage resources in an effective way, eliminating human errors by increasing the availability of information for each piece of equipment and isolation point.

The system uses an individual QR code for each piece of equipment to document, through photographs, that all energy sources on the equipment have been locked out using standardized devices. Once the photos have been validated, the maintenance worker or operator is free to carry out the action in a safe and documented manner. The equipment release process follows the same protocol.

tec.ems - Energy Management Solution

Understand the consumption of your equipment or departments in detail

tec.ems is a modular energy management solution designed to provide you with complete visibility and control of your facility’s energy consumption. Our team is involved from assessment to implementation of the solution.

The plug-and-play module allows easy deployment and mapping of energy meters via front-end configuration
Granular reporting of energy consumption to guide energy efficiency initiatives
Self-powered individual components are designed to maintain communication with the web server in the event of a power failure
Preconfigurations to send alerts when parameters are out of range
Insights to provide oversight across assets
