ALVEY Palletizer

Before reprogramming

1- Approximately once per shift, a problem occurred on the palletizer.

2- Most of the time, no alarm or message was displayed.

3- Each time, the operator had to remove all the boxes from the machine.

4- Once empty, and after a reset, sometimes this equipment still refused to restart.
5- Then the operator gave a service call to the maintenance personnel.

After reprogramming

1- All the problems are diagnosed immediately.

2- If a faulty operation occurs, the operator corrects the problem on the line then makes the same correction on the operating interface. Going back in automatic mode restarts the equipment.

3- Creating a new palletization pattern takes approximately 30 minutes instead of approximately 8 hours with the original program.

Benefits

1- Uptime was increased by 320 hours per year.

2- The production capacity went from 40 to 55 pallets per hour.

3- The stacking quality was increased (squarer and better centered pallets).

4- Return on investment within only 3 months.

Free demo

We have prepared a short demo with Reflex^TM. This is done on a scaled down conveyor, with different sensors and actuators.

During the presentation, different programming methods of PLC are compared, including SFC and GRAFCET. Typical problems and machine safety will be discussed.

The presentation is a must for control engineers, directors of maintenance, operations and health & security departments.

This demo will catch your interest and shed new light on system programming.

Your production facilities have underestimated potential. Let us show you.
