In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, efficiency is the key to success. AD Plastik, a leading player in the industry, recently undertook a remarkable project that showcased their commitment to innovation and efficiency.
In just three weekends, or six days in total, we successfully integrated two CO2 cleaning robots into their existing production line, all while ensuring minimal disruption to their operations.
The challenge: Commissioning in record time
AD Plastik faced a daunting challenge – integrating two CO2-cleaning robots into their production line within a remarkably short timeframe.
What made this endeavor even more challenging was keeping the production line running seamlessly throughout the process. Any delays or disruptions could lead to significant losses in time and resources, which you always want to avoid.
The problem
A tight timeline was the main problem, and to achieve the goal, Boreto had to collaborate with an additional company. This meant coordinating with external partners while minimizing plant downtime. The pressure was on to ensure everything ran like clockwork.
The first weekend, two PLC programmers and two ASIS robotic programmers already did the automatic test with line tracking parts on the conveyor.
For the second weekend, setting up the CO2 application took almost two full days of work in the cleaning booth. A well-known problem with commissioning is when more people need the time to install and/or test different equipment in the working area. Fortunately, we had an additional two days due to the holiday time.
Technologies used: Precision and innovation
To tackle this ambitious project, we relied on technologies, such as Eplan, Simatic Step7, TIA Portal, and the cutting-edge Robot CO2 cleaning system. These technologies enabled precise control and monitoring throughout the integration process.
Integrating these advanced technologies underscores our commitment to staying at the forefront of automation and manufacturing innovation.
Investing in these tools and expertise helped us achieve their immediate goal of integrating CO2-cleaning robots and future-proofing our operations. This enables us to adapt swiftly to evolving industry demands and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
The results: Efficiency and cost savings
The successful integration of the CO2 cleaning robots was a game-changer for AD Plastik. It streamlined the production process and led to significant cost savings.
The goal: A glimpse into the future
Our achievement serves as an inspiring example for other production plants.
Our ability to complete a complex integration in such a short time demonstrates the potential for fast and flexible commissioning, even when dealing with new and advanced technologies.
This success story highlights the importance of innovation and efficiency in modern manufacturing.
AD Plastik’s integration of CO2 cleaning robots in only 6 days is a testament to our dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in manufacturing.
It underscores the immense potential for rapid and efficient commissioning, offering a glimpse into the industry’s future.
As the demand for automation and efficiency continues to grow, AD Plastik’s success story is a shining example of what we can achieve with the right mindset, technology, and teamwork.
