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.
