OBJECTIVE

A local Beverage Manufacturing Firm needed to increase their output capability and production yields in its filling lines to meet increasing market demands.

Goals included:

Improved Process Efficiency and Automation / High Performance / Security

SOLUTION

  • RCM was charged with providing the design, construction, management, supervision, and installation of the required hardware and modifications to enhance their filling line that would allow it to double its current output while simplifying the change-over process for its multiple SKUs.
  • RCM provided an integrated team for the different facets of the modification, including PLC programming, providing a seamless turnover.
  • RCM performed the purchase and/or construction of the parts required for the modifications.
  • RCM provided resources with specific skill sets for the installation.
  • RCM performed pre-validation runs to verify the performance of the process flow for the different SKUs. Training was provided to the machine operators and support mechanics.

BENEFITS

  • The modified filling line can run multiple SKUs by simple selection thru a selector switch integrated into the HMI.
  • The modified filling line doubled its output capabilities by simplification of the change over process and increased filling capability.
  • Increased productivity yields and simplified change-over procedure.
