• Food Machine ProductionLine Efficiency Formula

  1 member

  When calculating food machine production line efficiency, deciding to use the SMT line efficiency or production line efficiency calculation must be determined. Many experts consider SMT line efficiency to be a more robust measurement. The line efficiency formula is the number of hours when a high-volume pick-and-place machine is putting parts on the printed circuit board, divided by the number of hours where you are staffing the SMT assembly line. Put more simply, it is the placement time hours divided by the staffed time hours times 100. This number gives a simple, clear measurement of performance. The reason many managers are reluctant to use production line efficiency as a measure instead of SMT line efficiency is its failure to take duration into consideration. We base the ratio on actual staffed time, rather than optimum time, and do not take the use of labor into consideration. It is important to note that productivity is affected by outside forces that are difficult for the assembly manager to control. Market demand determines the printed circuit assembly volume required of a factory. Placement time and SMT time are also fairly easy to calculate, so coming up with a line efficiency number is often a quick and painless process. The controller of the pick-and-place machine should have a complete recording of when the machines are placing parts and when they are not, so a simple consult of these records identifies placement time. Staffing hours will be easy to calculate if there is someone in charge of keeping organized, computerized records of staff time. Remember that even if employees are allowed breaks on company time, those breaks count as staffed hours. To maximize line efficiency, breaks, meals and meetings should be staggered so workers are on the line at all times during staff hours. The result of this way of calculating provides a clear and honest line efficiency measure that is consistent. There is no room or mechanism for deception, so there will be no doubt whether or not changes need to be made and no doubt whether or not those changes are having an effect. While SMT line efficiency measuring is an effective way to assess productivity, it is a good idea to have other productivity measures in place as a check on this measure.

  Tip 1: Make Sure Your Tinplate can making machine is Compliant with FDA Standards There’s not much point in adding any piece of automation to your production line if it isn’t compliant with the latest FDA standards for food sanitation and safety. This is especially true of food inspection machines such as x-ray and metal detection devices. Check resources such as the Equipment Design Task Force’s (EDTF’s) Sanitary Equipment Design Principles Checklist to see if the equipment you’re adding meets all guidelines for sanitary equipment design. Tip 2: Whenever Possible, Physically Inspect Machinery Before Making a Purchase Decision It happens all the time: the equipment detailed in the product catalog has the perfect specs, and the design in the picture looks right. But, when the machine arrives, it has the wrong configuration for interfacing with your production line. The materials might not be compatible with the rest of your production equipment, or the method by which it moves product might not work with the state of your product or packaging at that phase. Checking the physical configuration and materials of your food inspection machine prior to purchase is a necessity for ensuring that it will work well with your quality assurance program.

• Know Tinplate Can Making Machinery Production Line Downtime

  1. LOST PRODUCTIVITY Equipment failure and employee injuries have been the main two instances to trigger Tinplate can making machinery production line downtime. For example, carts can fail over a faulty set of casters. Or, employees can injure themselves while operating a cart. When a set of faulty casters fail during operation, the cart may need to be taken off the line for maintenance. Consequently, this could stop the production flow for the duration of the caster repair. Leaving businesses with an unproductive workflow. 2. PRODUCTION DELAYS Downtime can create a lag that can disrupt production schedules and delay customer shipments. Equipment breakdown can prevent scheduled production cycles from starting on time. It's also likely that customers are dependent on your business to help them meet a deadline for their company's project. In that case, missing a delivery schedule can affect revenue and strain customer relationships. 3. LOST CUSTOMER CONFIDENCE Delayed shipments can strain customer relations from wanting to pursue repeat business. Especially, when customers have business deadlines to meet. Inability to deliver critical products to customers on time can lead them to lose faith. Once customers see a company as unreliable, it can be very difficult to undo the perception. If customers cannot afford to wait, they may be motivated to take their business to your competition. 4. LOST REVENUE Downtime can be costly. Productivity and profits goes hand-in-hand of any thriving business. A loss of production will cost businesses money to rectify issues and slow money from coming in. If your company's downtime is holding up a customer from their deadline, they may cancel their order altogether. Downtime might leave your customer no choice, but to do business with your competitor. 5. LOST BUSINESS TO COMPETITORS Losing customers to competitors can cost you more than a lost sale. Your company's reputation and customer perception are also at stake. It also doesn't help your business look any better if your competition is available to do business when you're not. Don't let downtime take your business down. The Beverage Can Making Machine is also one of our products, welcome to your come and purchase!
• Know Importance AR For Tin Can Making Machinery Production Line

  1 member

  Considering it an important opportunity, I wanted to test how AR could help an operator running a Tin can making machinery production line in his daily activities. In collaboration with a client, we started a pilot in the food industry, selecting three use cases not related to maintenance: key performance indicator (KPI) visualization, changeover instruction and traceability. The goal of the pilot was to understand if there was any value in giving an AR tool to the operator, and if this could facilitate his daily activities. We have just very early feedback at the moment, but there are some findings already that I think could be interesting to share: 1. Stay close to the real AR key characteristic. The differentiating value of AR is in how information is presented to the user. It’s superimposed over the “reality.” The values, icons or graphics are anchored to the real object they relate to. In a standard application, you would probably use a valve icon and an ON label to indicate the state of a valve. In AR, you just superimpose the ON label over the valve itself, which makes it easy for the operator to understand. If you just superimpose a flat table with values to the live image of the asset, you are losing most of the value you could provide the operator—giving him traditional information with a tool that is more complex to use. 2. Interaction with AR is more complex and time-consuming than with standard mobile apps. This is partially because of the concept of AR itself and partially because of the tools that are available today. We are at the beginning of a journey that will take time and effort. I strongly believe we are at the start of a no-return trip, but we probably have yet to leave the train station. A year ago, most of the AR demos were PowerPoint-based. Now we have several examples of applications developed using tablets and glasses. But there is still a lot of work to be done to make these devices really user-friendly, especially glasses. The interaction with the user is still somewhat unnatural and needs to be improved. It will not take much time, but some patience is required. So keep it simple! 3. Before considering the development of any app, ask yourself if you could do it instead in a more traditional way and what real value the new graphical interface will bring to the user. If possible, ask the user as well. Keep in mind that AR doesn’t create information; it just delivers it in a different way. The technological overhead you are introducing needs to have a payback generated from how you present the information. Sometimes this is not really easy to estimate.
