The DC-60C-2-EFF-Sens-GRN Production Efficiency Display Counter is a custom-built visual management solution designed to help manufacturing teams clearly track production output, measure efficiency, and maintain accountability throughout the workday. This unit was produced for Alabama Industries for the Deaf and Blind, a facility that manufactures everyday goods such as mops, binders, and paper products, where accurate counting and real-time performance feedback are essential to daily operations.

This display is designed to compare a planned production goal against actual output as items move through the production process. By visually showing both values along with a calculated efficiency percentage, supervisors and operators can instantly understand how closely production is tracking to expectations and make adjustments as needed to stay on target.

At the start of a shift or production run, the planned quantity is entered using the wired remote controller. This allows the user to increment or decrement the planned count with precise control. A short press adjusts the count one unit at a time, while pressing and holding the increment button allows the value to increase rapidly, making it easy to set higher production targets quickly. If adjustments are needed, the decrement button can be used to fine-tune the planned total to the exact number of items scheduled for shipment.

Once production begins, items passing through the work area are detected by the diffusive reflective area sensor. This sensor automatically increments the “Actual” count as products move within its detection range, allowing for hands-free, real-time tracking of completed goods. As the actual count increases, the efficiency section continuously calculates the percentage difference between the planned amount and the actual output, giving immediate feedback on production performance.

Key operational highlights include:

• Planned count entry using a wired remote controller with increment, decrement, and reset functions
• Automatic actual count tracking via a diffusive reflective area sensor
• Real-time efficiency calculation displayed as a percentage
• Clear visual feedback that helps identify productivity trends as they happen

When it is time to reset the counters, the Actual and Efficiency sections can be cleared instantly using the wireless remote controller. By pressing the large “Zero-Reset” button, both values return to zero, allowing the next production cycle or shift to begin without manual recalibration or downtime.

From a hardware standpoint, this unit is built for durability and visibility in industrial environments. The enclosure is constructed from tough aluminum with a black powder-coated, fingerprint-resistant finish. The cabinet measures 29 inches wide, 24 inches tall, and 2 inches deep, making it large enough for clear visibility while remaining easy to mount in production areas.

The display features 6-inch-tall green LED digits that are highly legible from distances of up to 300 feet. Both the Planned and Actual sections use four-digit displays capable of counting up to 9,999 units, while the Efficiency section uses a three-digit display capable of showing values up to 200 percent.

Additional hardware and installation features include:

• 55 mm green LED digits for high-visibility viewing
• Seven adjustable teardrop mounting tabs located along the top and back of the enclosure
• Universal 120–240 VAC power input with a 6-foot, three-prong power cord
• Diffusive reflective area sensor with a 25-foot cable connected via an internal terminal block
• Wired remote controller with a 25-foot cable for planned count control and reset functions

The DC-60C-2-EFF-Sens-GRN is an effective production monitoring tool for facilities that need a clear, accessible, and automated way to track output and efficiency. By combining planned goals, real-time counting, and instant efficiency feedback in one highly visible display, this system helps manufacturing teams stay informed, productive, and aligned with daily production targets.
