In order to meet our client's requirements, ACCS Packaging has undertaken a proactive approach, starting with a precise dimensional survey, in order to design the optimal implantation while taking into account bottle transfer requirements. A careful analysis of the original provision led to a total overhaul, replacing the pneumatic side guidance system at three levels of the conveyor by one UBIC multi-position system. This transition not only reduced the number of actuators required, but also expanded the possibilities for adjustments.

A team of 8 technicians was mobilized on site to make these changes in just two weeks. A tandem expert in mechanics and automation was then responsible for commissioning the new configuration.

The result ?

• A major production line more fluid, allowing our customer to integrate new formats without mechanical modifications.
• Thanks to a redesigned HMI interface, it can now easily add and save new formats in the automaton.
• In addition, it benefits from real-time information about possible air leaks, allowing it to respond quickly to problems.

On the operational level, the new route has significantly reduces blockages, improving performance overall line. In addition, thanks to the overall modification of the line, our customer realized energy saving remarkable, reaching up to 30% compared to the previous implantation.
