System Requirements
Hardware
As with any software system, specific hardware requirements may vary depending on the scale and
complexity of the situation. In the case of Youtilize, both the size and production rate of the line
play a critical role in determining the hardware requirements.
For many production lines, the Standard Youtilize Hardware Requirements defined here may be used
to select the appropriate hardware. The standard hardware is intended to be used on production
lines which conform to the limits described below. For lines whose scale or production-rate exceeds
these limits, a Youtilize product expert must be consulted to determine the specific hardware
requirements for that particular production line.
Determining If Standard Hardware Can Be Used on Your Line
The Standard Youtilize Hardware Requirements may be used on any line which conforms to the
following criteria:
• The system is NOT a Youtilize Factory Control system.
• The number of dashboard viewing stations does not exceed ten (10) stations.
• The number of motors to be monitored on the line does not exceed fifty (50).
• The Motor sample rate does not exceed one hundred twenty (120) samples per hour per
motor.
• The number of Unit Tracking Transactions per minute does not exceed four hundred
(400) transactions per minute. Unit Tracking Transactions is calculated according to the
methodology defined below.
