Problem
Technical inspections of the machine revealed that the existing PLC system and electrical panel required modernization, and that there were mechanical issues along the bowl-feeding tracks—where products advance—that negatively affected the production flow and continuity of the feed.
02
Solution
To address the identified issues, plans have been made to upgrade the PLC system and electrical panel using modern automation technologies and to improve the bowl feed lines to ensure a steady and uninterrupted product flow.

Result
As a result of the modernization and mechanical improvements, the machine's control infrastructure has been updated, issues in the bowl feed tracks have been resolved to ensure a steady product flow, and the production process has achieved a more stable, efficient, and reliable configuration.
The project involved the modernization of the electrical, automation, and mechanical infrastructure of a machine equipped with automatic feeding, leak testing, and camera inspection capabilities. The work was structured around the following areas:
Automation infrastructure renewal: Updating the existing PLC system and developing control software aligned with the machine's operational sequence.
Electrical panel modernization: Reconfiguring panel components and electrical connections to suit the new control system.
Product feeding system improvement: Resolving mechanical issues in the bowl feeding tracks to ensure a steady and uninterrupted product flow.
Integration of testing and inspection processes: Ensuring the coordinated operation of automatic feeding, leak testing, and camera inspection stages.
Product conformity assessment: Identifying conforming and defective products based on leak test and camera inspection results.
Technical documentation: Updating electrical schematics and system documentation to reflect the implemented changes.
Testing and commissioning: Verifying machine operation scenarios and confirming its readiness for production.
These efforts aimed to enhance production continuity, stabilize quality control processes, and reduce the need for operator intervention.
