System Deliverables
Dedicated Transfer Lines
Two new transfer lines-one per process line-removed the bottlenecks and gave the operation the flexibility it needed across multiple product lines.
Automatic Transfer Logic
PLC and Ignition programming, backed by product match interlocks, handles routing automatically-keeping product moving safely between lines and storage bins.
Clean-Out Functionality
Automatic clean-out kicks in during product changeovers, preventing cross-contamination and keeping operators out of the loop on one more manual task.
Results in Action
Increased Production Capacity
One-to-one transfer lines let products move simultaneously-less downtime, more consistent throughput across every process line.
Reduced Human Error
Automated transfer controls and product interlocks catch mistakes before they happen, keeping product integrity and operations on a solid footing.
Future Integration Potential
The system is already built for future reporting or MES integration-so scaling up data collection and process oversight won’t require starting from scratch.
