FAQs

Can I retrofit modern control and Industry 4.0 connectivity to my existing line?
Yes, retrofits and upgrade paths are common, and TSM explicitly supports upgrade/retrofit routes within its control platform strategy. The exact scope depends on what you have installed and what you want to achieve (monitoring only vs full recipe + reporting + alarms). TSM can scope this based on your existing equipment.
What data can be logged and exported (material usage, thickness, alarms)?
Data capability depends on configuration, but commonly includes alarms/events, production summaries, and process values. For thickness/profile logging and export formats, the answer depends on the measurement system and integration architecture. Share your reporting requirements and TSM will define the export list and method.
Can I monitor multiple lines or factories from one dashboard?
Potentially yes, but it depends on the platform and network architecture (local vs plant server vs cloud, and IT security constraints). Share your multi-line/multi-site monitoring goals and TSM will propose a practical approach.
What cybersecurity measures do you provide?
Cybersecurity is implemented in alignment with customer IT/OT policies, authentication, segmentation, secure remote access, and agreed update/support procedures. Because requirements vary by customer, TSM will align with your IT team on the appropriate secure access model.
How long is production data, alarm and accuracy history stored?
Retention is configurable and depends on controller storage and whether you archive to a server/cloud platform. Provide your retention requirement (e.g., 12 months, 2 years) and TSM will advise the correct architecture.
Can your system push data to my ERP, MES, SAP or cloud dashboards?
Often yes, but it depends on your target system and preferred integration method (protocol, middleware, historian, API, etc.). Share your ERP/MES/SAP environment and the data you need and TSM will define the most practical route.
Can I track who changed what settings and when?
Audit trail capability depends on the controller/HMI configuration and user management model. If you need full change tracking for QA/compliance, tell us what standard you’re working on and TSM will confirm what can be logged and exported.
Can alarms be sent by email/SMS/Microsoft Teams?
This is possible depending on the deployed platform and network configuration. If you tell us your preferred alarm-routing method and IT constraints, TSM will confirm what’s supported and how it would be implemented.
