ICTS - Standard Operation for process flow
Up to this point, we have concluded that the project would go on as plan. Now we are in the process of getting the best quotation for conveyors as well as the control system. For the time being negotiations have been going on with Enviro for conveyors and Autovation for PLC and some other automation instruments. If everything goes on perfectly, the whole project should cost about RM40K, and should be finished by middle of next month.
As for the conveyor, currently we are looking into fabricating one 6 foot, and one 24 foot or 2 times 12 foot or 4 times 6 foot. The idea of curve conveyor has been scrapped due to extensive cost required. Whatever combinations it is, it would be a L-shape as we did for prototype. The width would be 150mm and the height would be about 1030 mm.
As for the control system, chances are great that we might use the Omron CPM1A 30 I/O PLC with computer software. Up to this point we are waiting the best offer by Omron vendor.
We are also discussing the standard operation of the new process flow in the packaging room once the project would takes place later on. This is simply because one main objective of this project is to reduce the manpower and upgrade the process flow. A few adjustment needs to be done before this conveyor project is to be installed, such as The packaging machine needs to be rearrange to allow more space and facilities constraints inside the room. The actual proposed process flow would be ready in a few days as Mr Khow is preparing it now.
