The mandate
This factory produces plastic items with extrusion machines. The plant uses a conveyor management system and a reject system that is interfaced with the machines. Built on outdated technology, the system was very intertwined. The mandate was to design a homogeneous system with the latest technologies to be up to date, for several years.
The solution
The stages of the mandate were as follows:
- Electrical and networking design of the new set up
- System implementation including new technologies
- Migration of DeviceNet components to Ethernet IP
- System interface on a supervision and data acquisition system (SCADA - Ignition - INDUCTIVE AUTOMATION)
- Management of the rejection system with the implementation of a barcode reader
- Documentation of the work in order to copy this system to new installations
