Machine monitoring
maximizes high-speed palletizer uptime
Recently, Emerson and Arrowhead Systems partnered on a machine-health monitoring solution to boost the uptime of a highspeed palletizer for container stacking and other primary products. The Busse SJI Viper bulk palletizer and Alpha Turbo depalletizer pair with Emerson’s machine-health monitoring to get greater overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by monitoring (in real-time) critical motion and pneumatic system parameters — including mechanical actuation speeds, airflow, pressure, vacuum, and motor vibration.

information is processed at the edge via a local data historian with both local display or remote monitoring on a tablet or smartphone giving operators an easily accessible tool to monitor health. “This solution offers the quickest and most scalable way to increase OEE and ultimately increase the overall production efficiency of plant operations,” says Dana Greenly, director of business development for food and beverage packaging with Emerson’s Automation Solutions business. The new edge-based system has the PACSystems CPL410 at its core to bring all sensor data together for accessibility,
