Packaging Company Improves Sortation System
A manufacturer deployed Digital Twin for Safety & Compliance Monitoring in Food & Beverage. rockwellautomation.com reports no complete outcome metric.
What the manufacturer was trying to fix
Analyze multiple scenarios to increase sortation system’s performance A model was built to represent the sortation system, input conveyor, and exit conveyor. Implementation of a combined sensor and timer based release system The combination alternative has proven highly effective in meeting the system’s objective of an enhanced packaging process flow
What the manufacturer deployed
Since the system had been installed already and was in operation on a daily basis, the Rockwell Automation Arena consulting team was called to build a model using Arena packaging optimization software. Simulating a packaging process flow model to vary the current system would allow the packaging manufacturer to conduct analysis without disturbing the actual system or building costly prototypes. The model was built to represent the sortation system, input conveyor, and exit conveyor. The Arena model was constructed to allow selection between two types of release mechanisms, one which was timer-
