Benefits of Smart Interface Board Controls
Reduced manufacturing costs by eliminating point-to-point wiring
Faster appliance development cycles with flexible software reconfiguration
Lower service and support costs through advanced diagnostics and self-repair features
Future-proof appliances with optional HACCP connectivity and automation compatibility
Enhanced product differentiation across multiple equipment lines with one controller solution
The Smart Interface Board Solves These OEM Challenges
High Assembly Labor Costs
Manual point-to-point wiring increases production complexity. The SIB-2020 integrates all control elements on one relay board, cutting OEM labor and assembly costs.
Connectivity Limitations
Modern kitchens demand integration and reporting. The SIB-2020 offers optional communications for HACCP compliance and links to automated kitchen systems.
SKU Proliferation
Multiple control systems increase inventory and training complexity. The SIB-2020 adapts across appliances, reducing SKUs, assembly drawings, and training needs.
Energy Inefficiency
Appliances consume more energy without smart controls. Exclusive features like Setback and Service Maintenance Scheduling (SMS) reduce energy use and extend appliance life.
Inconsistent Food Quality
Operators face variability when managing processes manually. On-board logic automates repetitive tasks, ensuring consistent, high-quality output across appliances.
Service & Support Burdens
Mechanical controls fail more frequently and are harder to service. The SIB-2020’s solid-state design and advanced diagnostics reduce downtime and customer support expenses.
