Heavy Boxes Packaging Line

Technologies: WEB, IPC, PLC, RDBMS, WINDOWS, FIELDBUS, SENSORS, ACTUATORS

Keywords: PACKAGING, PDA, TRACEABILITY, CONDITION MONITORING, STATISTICS, ERP/MES INTEGRATION

Smart robot-based packaging line fully integrated with the customer logistics and MES platform.

The system is capable to handle boxes up to 100 Kg and store them in a dynamic warehouse. When necessary the boxes are palletized, the pallet is filmed and transferred to an AGV (or manual operator).

The platform stores all the data in hi-performance databases and offers extended process control and traceability features, condition monitoring, statistical and quality analysis.

Control & Management of Flowpacks

Technologies: WINDOWS, IPC, PLC, RDBMS, FIELDBUS, SENSOR, ACTUATORS, SAFETY

Keywords: FLOWPACK, TRACEABILITY, MACHINE CONTROL, CONDITION MONITORING, MES INTEGRATION, PDA

A complete hardware/software solution tailored to manage and control different types of flowpack machines using a single software framework.
Based on multiple technological layers (PLC/SAFE-PLC/IPC), this system manages multiple automation devices and sensors to guarantee the maximum packaging performances and quality. 
The operators interact with the system using multiple GUIs. The system stores all the process-data on an internal scalable database. The solution is integrated with an internal PDA module (developed by Microtecna) to guarantee full traceability of the production process and perform condition monitoring on each machine. The solution can be integrated with external MES systems.
