Communication ready large display for real time monitoring
A large supplier of plastic bottles has problems ensuring on time replenishment of raw material silos. Two production halls with moulding machines rely on the silos to provide the required materials. Each silo level is monitored via an individual weigher with local indication.
The lack of global monitoring created critical situations when levels reached low values. Even though surveillance was achieved by a staff member physically walking around the factory and checking silo levels, the risk of running out of product was really high. Production would then come to a halt, leading in late deliveries and fines being levied on the manufacturer.

Red Lion Controls offered the ideal solution in the form of their Big Flexible Display and Modular Controller. The solution involved monitoring each group of weighers with a Modular Controller. The Modular Controller was connected to the factory Ethernet so any network PC could access individual silo’s information. Weights were also indicated on two large displays, one per production hall, for continuous real time indication.
In addition, the Modular Controller can generate alarms on sensor failure or low level conditions, sending automatically e-mail notification to the right recipient.
