Corrugated-adhesive process control

The modern command center for your starch-glue kitchen.

Ring RS3000 replaces a 2002-era operator screen with a single-window command center — same trusted Allen-Bradley controller, a generation-newer operator experience.

What your plant gets

The bottom line for the owner

Six outcomes that show up in production, in your numbers, and in your peace of mind — the end result of everything below.

Everything new, in five buckets

The old system ran the plant. Ring helps you run it and make money on it.

Every upgrade falls into one of five buckets. Most of it is live today; a few items are near-term — the engine for them is already built and tested.

Make or save money

Ring shows you where the money leaks — in dollars, not jargon.

  • Giveaway tracker: “overfilling 87 lb/batch — 1,500 lb/week given away.”
  • Cost per batch in your Costs report: “target $412, actual $438 — $468/week over.”
  • Downtime in dollars: “Tank 2 fault cost ~$3,200 this week.”
  • Bottleneck finder (which step is slowing you down) & bad-batch early warning roadmap — engine built & tested, live screen on the near-term roadmap.

Dollar and weight figures above are illustrative examples of the report output — not results from your plant.

Stay ahead of problems

Ring warns you before a problem costs you a batch.

  • Ingredient stock forecast — a fuel gauge for raw materials.
  • Tank time-to-empty and glue-line run-dry warnings.
  • Equipment runtime tracking with early anomaly hints.
  • Cleaning & maintenance reminders — nothing slips through.

Easier for operators

Ring makes the same job clearer — and much harder to get wrong.

  • One command-center dashboard: green = normal, red = attention.
  • Live recipe progress and an always-visible batch status strip.
  • Touch-friendly keypad, gentle confirmations, built-in help.
  • Digital shift handover replaces verbal and paper notes.

Smarter alarms

Ring doesn’t just show alarms — it helps you handle them.

  • Full searchable history — and which alarms repeat most.
  • First-response playbook: what it means, what to do first.
  • Auto-escalation to email or Teams, with storm control.
  • Links each alarm to the batch it actually hurt.

Own your data, never fly blind

Ring keeps your data yours — safe, exportable, fully reported.

  • Modern self-checking database + one-click CSV export (opens in Excel).
  • A comprehensive reporting suite, plus the money reports it never had.
  • Live diagnostics: see exactly why the controller connection hiccuped.
  • Tested on every change & security-scanned, with a documented rollback to the legacy system (the legacy app stays installed).
