Traceability System

ENGINE ASSEMBLY LINE

  • This PLC-Scada based System is developed for a world leader in the design and manufacture of engines and power generation equipment








Operation Philosophy

  • The SCADA/PLC System is used for barcode tracking of different assembly parts as the GENSET is being build along the assembly line
  • Setability /Scanning and traceability of 241 different components
  • Storing RTC based data of every component as the GENSETs are build.
  • Scanning of Dot Pin Matrix (DPM Code) , Laser Mark, QR Code on metal/Oily surface
  • Poka-Yoke for error free assembly building
  • Any Scanner can be used on any Station , providing flexibility of operations

System Layout

There are 8 Different Assembly Stations and 4 wireless Scanners which are used between this Stations






Features

  • Image processing based 4 wireless scanners flexibly used on 11 different stations.
  • Industrial codes like Dot Pin Matrix (DPM Code) , Laser Mark, QR Code scanning is possible with repeatability.
  • Scanning on Oily/Metal surface.
  • Poka-Yoke implementation for mistake proof assembly.
  • Total Engine Assembly standard report at the End
  • Flexibility for component setting
  • In case of Customer complaints historical data tracing is possible
  • Response time to customer is improved.
  • Quality of assembly is improved.
  • Production time is reduced.
