Problem. Engineering solution. Measurable outcome.
Every engagement is documented the same way, so a skimming procurement officer gets the number and a chief engineer can go deeper on the method.
Problem
A Tier 1 supplier needed a vision-guided pick cell added to an existing line without extending the footprint or the takt time.
Engineering Solution
Integrated a 6-axis arm with vision-guided part recognition into the existing safety envelope, and re-sequenced upstream logic to hold cycle time.
Measurable Outcome
Takt time held within 0.4 seconds of baseline, with zero footprint increase and a mis-pick rate under 0.02%.
Problem
A bottling line running on an obsolete PLC-5 platform was losing 40+ minutes a shift to unplanned faults, with no in-house engineer able to safely modify the logic.
Engineering Solution
Migrated control logic to Rockwell Studio 5000, rebuilt the HMI with rationalized alarms, and re-fabricated two UL 508A panels to correct thermal derating issues.
Measurable Outcome
Unplanned downtime cut from 40 minutes a shift to under 6. Line rate held at spec through three consecutive changeovers.
