One of our latest projects is the <strong>DC-40T-UP-TERM-BAY-TIMER<\/strong>, a fully customized production processing timer designed specifically for <strong>Haas Garage Doors<\/strong>. This innovative unit was engineered to help them monitor and log the number of cars being serviced in their workspace \u2014 all through a seamless network-based system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart Network Functionality for Real-Time Logging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What truly sets the DC-40T-UP-TERM-BAY-TIMER apart is its <strong>network functionality<\/strong>. This timer doesn\u2019t just track time \u2014 it <strong>logs each vehicle\u2019s activity automatically<\/strong> using an internet connection and our custom-built web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The unit connects to the internet via a standard <strong>Ethernet cable<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once connected, it links directly to <strong>DC-Digital\u2019s custom web page<\/strong> \u2014 no third-party software or installation required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By simply entering the <strong>MAC address<\/strong> into your browser\u2019s URL bar, users gain instant access to a live webpage that tracks all vehicle activity in real time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time a car enters or exits the workspace, the system automatically logs that event to the webpage. The <strong>diffusive reflective sensor<\/strong> detects when a vehicle is present, and after one minute, once the vehicle leaves, the timer records the event \u2014 keeping a running tally of all automobiles processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures that Haas Garage Doors can maintain accurate, automated records of workflow activity without any manual data entry, improving both <strong>efficiency<\/strong> and <strong>accountability<\/strong> in their production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Demonstration of Operation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To demonstrate the unit\u2019s function, a simple test can be performed using a piece of paper to trigger the <strong>deflective area sensor<\/strong>. By holding the paper in front of the sensor for one minute, the timer begins its count, and the digits visibly increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The display can count <strong>up to 99 hours and 59 minutes<\/strong>, and every completed cycle is reflected not only on the enclosure display but also on the live web page simultaneously. Once the process resets, the system is ready to log the next car automatically, ensuring continuous and reliable operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hardware and Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond its smart network capabilities, the DC-40T-UP-TERM-BAY-TIMER is built for durability and professional use in demanding environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key hardware specifications include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Enclosure:<\/strong> 14-gauge aluminum, <strong>black powder-coated<\/strong> and <strong>fingerprint resistant<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> 16&#8243; wide \u00d7 6&#8243; tall \u00d7 3&#8243; deep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Display:<\/strong> 4-inch high-intensity LED digits, visible up to <strong>200 feet<\/strong> away.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digit Count:<\/strong> 4 digits capable of timing up to <strong>99:59 hours<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power Source:<\/strong> 120\u2013240 VAC wall adapter with a 6 ft cord (Ethernet-powered for this custom model).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mounting Options:<\/strong> Compatible with <strong>4&#215;4 or 2&#215;4 electrical rough-in box tear-slotted knockouts<\/strong>. Optional <strong>handles<\/strong> and <strong>tripod mounts<\/strong> available upon request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sensor Input:<\/strong> Diffusive reflective sensor, <strong>hardwired into the enclosure terminal<\/strong>, detects objects up to <strong>10 feet away<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designed for Precision and Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The DC-40T-UP-TERM-BAY-TIMER is a perfect example of how DC-Digital\u2019s products can be <strong>custom-tailored for industrial applications<\/strong>. By combining traditional timer functionality with <strong>modern networking and data logging<\/strong>, this model allows facilities like Haas Garage Doors to maintain real-time oversight of operations with minimal user intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t just a timer \u2014 it\u2019s a <strong>comprehensive production management tool<\/strong>, built to streamline workflows and enhance productivity through precise, automated tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>See similar product: <a href=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/DC-40T-UP-TERM-BAY-TIMER-Vehicle-Service-Bay-Count-Up-Timer-4-Inch-LED-Digits-Shift-Digit-Technology.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/DC-40T-UP-TERM-BAY-TIMER-Vehicle-Service-Bay-Count-Up-Timer-4-Inch-LED-Digits-Shift-Digit-Technology.html\">DC-40T-UP-TERM-BAY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See our video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9dbiG9Xe658\">DC-40T-Up-Term-Bay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/index.php\">DC-Digital Store<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See Other <a href=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/Vehicle-Service-Bay-Timers-and-Monitoring-Systems.html\">Vehicle Service Timers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/DC-SBL-2E-WEB-VEHICLE-SERV-LOG-Network-Webpage-Log-IOT-Expansion-Card-for-Viewing-Configuring-and-Logging-DC-Digital-Vehicle-Service-Count-Up-Timers.html\">Webpage info page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At DC-Digital, we take pride in providing custom timing and counting solutions that fit the unique needs of our clients.
