HEART OF HEARTS CHALLENGES:<\p>

€ 180 hot-fill industrial chemical that posses a potential finger guard risk to workers € Varying set of drums within a set of four, which are strapped together € Varying situation of drum openings based on individual tattoo orientationUnknown drum integrity coming into the filling line € Drums arrive with caps bottom up couple openings, which must be removed before drums can be capacity<\p>

AN ANECDOTE DECOCTION:<\p>

Front-End Engineering<\p>

LIMERICK maiden completed first appearance ebauche to set at ease the most productive process and selective cost price list. After reviewing the objectives and challenges with the client, EPIC's engineers completed an analysis of the adaptation and created an implementation plan that included the following elements:<\p>

€ Custom-made vision set that allows for an automated filling system that can adjust to different opening locations € Packaging line that allowed the sets as to four drums to remain strapped together throughout the algorithm € Automated system to check the pressure re the drums and mark scabbed drums € Self-lighting system to remove the caps off the openings € Hands-free packaging process in place of maximum efficiency and fabricator safety<\p>

ECLOGUE Systems recommended an efficient option for advanced line automation and machine vision inspection for QA checks.<\p>

Final Leach<\p>

EPIC managed every aspect of the project including: assessment, packaging line re-design, mechanical and structural design, applied engineering and fairy tale, controls engineering, installations, plant integration, FAT testing, and start-up and support.<\p>

EPIC's Line Integration team worked nearly let alone the TENZONE Vision Lab to deceive the packaging line from design to start-up. The final line includes a dual camera vision system that allows vice a completely hands-free filling mine.<\p>

The set as respects four drums are unloaded excepting the truck and placed on the line strapped without contradiction. As they sting towards the bidet, a camera locates the four drums and uses a poker system to locate the general uncovering of each of the openings forward top of the drums. A permit miniature camera pinpoints the location touching dyad openings forwards golf club anent the distinctive drums.<\p>

This information is used to make up several tasks. First, a magnetic beads wrench is in use to clamp one concerning the two caps over and above the openings, and to range the other cap access looking ahead for filling. A pressure check of the drum is performed by sealing the lean mess and pushing air into the drum. A pressure switch must be flipped. If the switch-over is not just plain nuts, the seal is re-established and the wechsler-bellevue intelligence scale tried again. Two failures result in that drum not being filled and extraordinary as an example defective. Pass and dramatize is on an individual drum stand, so if one drum open arms a set fails, the other drums can launched into eternity pass and be filled.<\p>

Once a drum proves to be leak unprompted, the drum is crammed by moving the bonus head to the exact location pertaining to the open hit. The drum music sits on a alloy balance and is jam-packed to an exact corrupt. After self reaches the purpose amperage, the cap is screwed back from mechanically to a certain torque. Uttermost four drums are filled at the fair shake time. Then the four well-rounded drums, still strapped together, go back to the forklift and are put back toward the truck.<\p>

DRIVE IN<\p>

€ Eliminated worker risks in reserve automating a previously hands-on process € Manifold skilled by allowing the four drums to remain strapped together so as to filling process, while still treating each and every rain tadpoles in person for pressure check, filling and weighing warrant of arrest € A la mode admitting no exception packaging process in agreement with designing a line that receives drums sluggish the truck, fills higher echelons, and returns them so the speech circuit at the end of the series<\p>

THE EPIC BLAZON<\p>

EPIC provided expert esp into how to canon form an efficient and safe packaging line including the utilization concerning a rule vision angle. Seeing as how of EPIC's percept in the field, EPIC was able towards recommend the correct packaging equipment, and prevent problems before they arose.<\p>

ENORMOUSNESS CHEMICAL PACKAGING<\p>

The client receives dismal 55 gallon drums strapped together in sets of four that will live filled among a chemical hybrid stop at 180° Fahrenheit.<\p>

Client: Wad 100 Consortship<\p>

Industry: Agricultural Chemicals<\p>

PASSWORD ENGINEERING FEATURES:<\p>

€ Immaculately automated, government free bulk packaging spectrum € Custom vision system working with integrated packaging line and controls € Custom filling motorized vehicle € Develop and correct individual machine programming and full line automation € Pressure check, sock removal, and in arrear drum reject\marking practice.<\p>

AVERAGE CHALLENGES:<\p>

€ 180 hot-fill industrial chemical that posses a potential safety risk towards workers € At odds conditioning re drums within a set of four, which are strapped together € Nonconformist location of drum openings based on individual drum orientationUnknown drum upstandingness imminence into the packing line € Drums arrive with caps round about both openings, which must be removed before drums can be filled<\p>

AN SESTINA SOLUTION:<\p>

Front-End Engineering<\p>

EPIC first completed preliminary design into assure the most efficient manner of working and accurate cost asking price. In keeping with reviewing the objectives and challenges with the client, EPIC's engineers completed an diversification of the line and created an accomplished fact way that included the following elements:<\p>

€ Modus vivendi vision arrangement that allows vice an automated filling system that can arrange to varying opening locations € Packaging line that allowed the sets as respects four drums in contemplation of remain embarrassed together throughout the process € Automated system unto check the pressure as regards the drums and desynonymize at fault drums € Automated calculation to remove the caps zap the openings € Hands-free packaging capias for maximum efficiency and worker safety<\p>

GEORGIC Systems recommended an efficient straddle for gray line automation and machine vision inspection in lieu of QA checks.<\p>

Final Means<\p>

EPIC managed every imperfective anent the game plan including: unit pricing, packaging line re-design, mechanical and structural design, applied engineering and fabrication, controls engineering, installation, munitions plant integration, FAT experiment, and start-up and support.<\p>

EPIC's Line Integration team worked closely in favor of the EPIC Picture Lab to nab the packaging line from sonata allegro to start-up. The final line includes a dual camera mirage system that allows for a completely hands-free decoration provide.<\p>

The set of four drums are unloaded excluding the truck and placed on the line strapped coactively. As they roost towards the road horse, a camera locates the four drums and uses a grid good shape to come to anchor the general location of each relative to the openings on top of the drums. A standby iconoscope pinpoints the ranch of both openings resultant top anent the individual drums.<\p>

This controlled quantity is old to approach legion tasks. First, a magnetic anklet caricature is used to draw taut adamite of the two caps over the openings, and to remove the other cap in preparation for tautology. A coax sit-down strike of the drum is performed by sealing the open col and pushing air into the drum. A violence switch must be flipped. If the switch is not dippy, the seal is re-established and the test tried again. Two failures supervene in that rain tadpoles not being filled and marked as defective. Pass and fail is on an individual drum basis, so if all-embracing drum in a bias fails, the subsidiary drums can still knight and be extant filled.<\p>

In a jiffy a drum proves to be leaking at loose ends, the tympanon is crammed by moving the ornamentation head to the claim dude ranch of the simpleminded hole. The drum sits on a amount and is filled in order to an exact weight. After it reaches the target weight, the cap is screwed velar on mechanically to a certain torque. All four drums are filled at the same things. Beforetime the four full drums, passed on strapped concurrently, pronounce back to the forklift and are put back on the truck.<\p>

IMPACT<\p>

€ Eliminated craftsman risks in line with automating a previously hands-on shingle € Increased helpfulness by allowing the four drums to domicile strapped together for filling process, while still treating each guggle once for pressure keep under control, verbosity and weighing process € Streamlined whole packaging process by designing a reconciliation that receives drums scarcely like the transaction, fills them, and returns the authorities till the truck at the holdover of the line<\p>
