OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Description
The Blastmaster
®
Smart Box™ Production Management System records overall vessel
pressurization time and the duration of activation on up to four individual remote control
systems to monitor individual operator efficiency. A Marco
®
exclusive, patented device,
the Blastmaster Smart Box Production Management System records each time a blast
pot is pressurized and when an operator activates a remote control switch. This collected
data can be used to calculate operational efficiency of abrasives and operators, create a
proactive maintenance program, and helps improve accuracy of job-costing and estimations
for future projects. Typical applications include blast rooms, blast yards, bridges, offshore
platforms, oil refineries, pipelines, and storage tanks.
