A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul.

The Problem

A glass manufacturer produced glass using separate drives across conveyor lines. The distance between drives caused breakdowns in communication that wasted material for every minute of downtime. The company needed to implement a new drives system without shutting down the furnace.

Customer: Glass Manufacturer

Industry: Glass

Application: Drives System Implementation, Control Panels

The Solution

Premier Automation worked with the customer’s existing PLC while installing new drives parallel to the old equipment in order to avoid downtime. New control panels and a centralized drive system with cabinets at the beginning, middle, and end of the line eliminated communication failures. Premier Automation also implemented dual control functionality, enabling discreet control over the drives or automated HMI access through the network.

Results

Premier Automation delivered drives, control panels, and control system functionality without interrupting production. Centralizing the drives eliminated communication breakdowns across the lines and saved the customer wasted materials. The glass manufacturer also gained both automated and manual control functionality.
