INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

EMS conveyor system consists of an overhead EMS transportation system for supply of Maggi Taste Makers and Laminates to the packing area. The system includes a Main Panel and two Carriers. Both Carriers are used to carry Taste Makers/ Laminates to different stations. A carrier includes hoist with trolley. Separate motors will be used for traverse motion of the carrier and hoist. The control system includes PLC’s for logic control, HMI’s for request generation, acknowledgement and data entry and Radio Modems for communication between the Main Panel and the Carrier Panels. One Operator Panel HMI is provided at warehouse Loading Station and One HMI each of six at unloading station serving twelve Packing Stations.

The two carries are positioned on their respective standby stations and move to the load station only when a request is generated. The Carrier is decided on the basis of the station number from where the request is generated. (Carrier1 caters Station 1 to 8 and Carrier2 caters station 9-13) “At the start of each shift, the operators at all the stations enter the type of Laminate and Taste Maker they are going to use, in respective HMI’s. This information will be recorded and displayed on the Warehouse Loading Station HMI so that the operator at the warehouse knows the material he has to send at different Packing Stations”.

The operator at a Packing Station generates a request for Taste Maker/ Laminate using respective station HMI. The request will immediately appear on the Warehouse Loading Station HMI. Now the operator at Loading Station will load the respective Taste Maker/Laminate on the Carrier Trolley and issue a “Dispatch” command. The carrier will then move towards the packing station from where the request has been generated. On reaching the station, the hoist moves down so that the operator can unload the Taste Maker/Laminate. After unloading, the operator loads the empty boxes on the trolley and issues “Go” command. On receiving the “Go” command Main Panel communicate with Carrier Panel and thus making it move towards its respective standby station.


Barcode System for Expansion Value Checking project is meant for Poke Yoke of expansion value checking. The expansion value have a barcode symbol printed on it. While scanning the code, if it was wrong model then it generates and disable the screw driver. We can select multiple models but one at a time can be used. For right model selected the O/P gets ON for predefined time period. Sludge & Sewage Treatment Plant project was complete integration of Sluge & Sewage Treatment Plant in Lakawi. The control system of Flex Logix PLC's, MicroLogix PLC's were integrated together on a wireless Ethernet Network & Controlled from RSView SCADA located in the Control Room. Various field instruments like differential level, ultrasonic, flow transmitters, dissolved oxygen analyzer etc. were used.
