## Transcript

This is Pedro Velasco from Roll-2-Roll Technologies and today we're a test bench where we you know do some variants of our products. I want to talk to you today about one of our products that we have on the sensor control unit side. Now one of our options for smart sensor control in our line of products is the ARIS SCU for control cabinet mounting on a thin rail as we have shown here. Now we have arranged the sensor control along with a couple sensors so we have two units with two sensors that actually for burning.

This was originally designed for OEMs who wanted to as an in capita control unit and they wanted to use our sensor technology with their own actuator systems and their web guiding systems. Therefore they were benefiting from our technology from our smart technology that's offered in our whole line of products now. The ARIS SCU provides it can provide an analog output, a connection for Ethernet IP applications, an operator interface so to connect the display to it and then on the bottom side, you can see we'll have the two sensor controls, two sets of connections now. The sensors then, the sensors we provide with this, would be with a shielded cable and they can be installed far away.

This is particularly useful for those applications where the sensor needs to be in an environment in which the control unit cannot be in. For say for example, an environment like a vacuum environment now the ARIS SCU can also be used in other applications. You know like for the detection of web positions, monitoring measurement of web width, any industrial operation so it's not only for those OEMs it can also be used for those who have a very special applications like I mentioned before. Applications where the environment wants or requires that the sensor control unit be away from the sensor.

Now this is a lightweight, easy to install, smart sensor control unit that is a coupled with our sensor technology and it allows you to detect and monitor any material position without the need for calibration.

## About Roll-2-Roll Technologies

Roll-2-Roll Technologies designs and manufactures patented fiber-optic web position sensors and advanced web guiding controllers — the precision measurement and control core of modern roll-to-roll manufacturing. Spun out of Oklahoma State University's Web Handling Research Center and trusted by Fortune 500 medical, battery, and nonwovens manufacturers, our patented sensors work without recalibration at ±0.1mm accuracy up to 760 mpm — typical customer outcomes are 50%+ less downtime and payback under six months. Headquartered in Stillwater, Oklahoma, our team of PhDs, controls engineers, and industry veterans extends the sensor + controller core into complete web guide systems including stepper-motor-based linear actuators (RLA, BLA, LHS).
