DC-Digital was recently contracted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowes.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.lowes.com\/\">Lowes<\/a> to supply all of the time keeping displays for several of their distribution centers. This unit represents a perfect blend of rugged construction, long-distance wireless connectivity, and advanced scheduling integration\u2014ideal for high-visibility applications like warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers. In fact, this particular model is headed into service at a Lowe&#8217;s distribution center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <strong>distribution center wireless system clock<\/strong> synchronizes to the <strong>EZ-Time computer program<\/strong>, which operates on a <strong>Windows 10 system<\/strong>. EZ-Time provides both <strong>accurate time synchronization<\/strong> and <strong>bell ringing control<\/strong> through a <strong>virtual COM port setup<\/strong> over the network, ensuring centralized, reliable control of all connected system clocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Product Design and Build Quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The DC-150-W-SYSTEM-IN features a <strong>15-inch high digit display<\/strong>, ensuring visibility up to <strong>approximately 750 feet<\/strong> in open indoor environments. Built with durability in mind, the unit includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All-aluminum extruded enclosure<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aluminum face and back plates<\/strong> for full ruggedization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Standard 120-volt power input<\/strong> with a <strong>six-foot cord<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cable gland connection<\/strong> for secure installation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the unit well-suited for demanding environments where durability and readability are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wireless Connectivity and Range<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipped with a <strong>900 MHz wireless antenna<\/strong>, the DC-150-W-SYSTEM-IN offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Indoor range<\/strong>: Approx. <strong>300 feet<\/strong>, depending on walls, doors, and other barriers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Outdoor range<\/strong>: Up to <strong>1,500 feet<\/strong>, under ideal conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>250-milliwatt radio transmitter<\/strong> for strong, stable signal communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This range ensures that even in complex indoor layouts like warehouses or distribution centers, time synchronization can be achieved without compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>System Functionality and Scheduling Integration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The DC-150-W-SYSTEM-IN isn\u2019t just a clock\u2014it&#8217;s a <strong>complete wireless system clock<\/strong>, fully integrated with our <strong>EZ-Time scheduling software<\/strong>. Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>EZ-Time<\/strong> runs on a <strong>Windows 10 laptop<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The laptop is connected via <strong>Wi-Fi<\/strong> to your facility&#8217;s network and communicates through a <strong>virtual COM port<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We support both <strong>Lantronix<\/strong> and <strong>NetBurner<\/strong> virtual COM ports, both reliable for industrial network applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This setup enables precise <strong>time correction<\/strong> and <strong>bell schedule control<\/strong>, ideal for managing workflows and time-sensitive operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Serial Transmitter and Data Verification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The clock connects to a <strong>serial input transmitter<\/strong> that includes a <strong>900 MHz radio<\/strong>, offering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Real-time power status<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confirmation of data transmission<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A key strength of this system is its <strong>store-and-forward capability<\/strong>. Each clock:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Receives, stores, and retransmits<\/strong> data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enables a <strong>chain of synchronized clocks<\/strong> across large facilities, as long as each one is within range of the next<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows you to scale your system to meet the size of your operation without signal degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ideal Use Cases<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The DC-150-W-SYSTEM-IN is optimized for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distribution centers<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large manufacturing floors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Warehouses<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other industrial or commercial environments<\/strong> requiring synchronized, high-visibility time displays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Its industrial-grade design and wireless infrastructure make it an ideal candidate for organizations needing consistent, centrally-controlled time across vast spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the <strong>DC-150-W-SYSTEM-IN<\/strong> is a robust, wireless, and highly scalable timekeeping solution. With its powerful signal transmission, large digit display, and centralized control via the EZ-Time software on Windows 10, it delivers a professional-grade system perfectly suited for demanding environments.
