Not just locally, but from every site on your network. Capture data at each soldering station on each joint – soldering temperature and power profiles, dwell time, good and bad solder joint evaluation, and more. Analyze data through the intuitive dashboard and easy-to-configure software – easily view productivity and system status at-a-glance. Refine data views through filters and user configurations. View data graphically or as a database – easily export data to a CSV file for your own analysis. Add barcode information to your data set with a barcode scanner (not included) ![CV: Process Control](https://info.metcal.com/hubfs/CV-green-light-screengrab-crop.png "CV: Process Control") ### **The Ultimate in Process Control** - Identify which tips are being used at each station - Track the soldering process through automatic evaluation of each joint, to ensure processes are being followed - Understand productivity dips and spikes - Set up email alerts for cartridge changes and ESD events ![CV-IOT: Advanced Traceability](https://info.metcal.com/hubfs/CV-monitor-mockup-black.jpg "CV-IOT: Advanced Traceability") ### **Advanced Traceability** - Review soldering statistics in the event of a board failure - Find the root cause of faulty joints faster by analyzing data never before available - Analyze valuable metrics on the processes at the bench. Drill down to the board level [Explore the CV IoT Application >](https://info.metcal.com/cv-iot-gateway#explore-application) --- ## The Advantages of CV-IOT **Information on the entire shop floor** – At a glance, see how many stations are up and running, and how many are experiencing ESD events **Productivity Station-to-Station** – Compare station productivity to easily manage throughput and see when operators may need extra training. **Tip Life** – Manage costs and productivity by comparing expected and actual tip life at each system.
