Do any of the following sound familiar within your production equipment?...

• Repetitive Equipment Failures
• Inconsistent Productivity
• Startup and Runtime Synchronisation difficulties
• Operator dependant Productivity
• Repeated Down-Time

Electroneering can provide an analysis of your process and highlight the leading causes to these sometimes, hidden inefficiencies, often which can incur substantial production losses.

A prime example of hidden losses are those commonly found in production machinery having inherent repetitive cyclic type processes, often which incorporate a time based state machine control methodology. The next state or operation is sequenced upon expiration of respective stage time periods, demanding that the time period allocated must equate to the “stage worst-case operation” time.

As a result, compounding losses are incurred in productivity, often along with inconsistency as process variances are not self compensating.

The motivation towards using this methodology is that manufactures of production machinery can produce equipment at a lower cost, as quantities of sensors, wiring and controller overheads are reduced. However, the hidden production inefficiencies come at your expense, for the service life of the machine.

Using sensors and appropriate apparatus to establish feedback to a solidly designed control system, provides for optimum cycle times and a self regulating closed loop control. Utilising the correct balance within the design stages is therefore of great importance, although revision of existing processes can still yield substantial benefits.

A repetitive failure can be an indicator that the safe operating parameters of apparatus employed is being exceeded, or over-sights within the initial system’s engineering exist. Electroneering can provide an assessment of your process issues, supplying you with a cost analysis towards achieving a more optimised and reliable performance from your plant and equipment.
