Intelligent Factory Automation Systems
The Intelligent Factory Automation System (IFAS) integrates the entire material handling system with your plant’s scheduling and manufacturing system for a fully automated solution. Orders are automatically tracked, processed, and displayed in real-time on screens throughout the factory from the corrugator through converting, finishing, and warehousing. IFAS can be integrated with almost any plant scheduling systems including Kiwiplan, Amtech, Avista, EFI etc.
Highlights of IFAS
- Realistic visual representation of the corrugator, converting machines, and all downstream conveyor and material handling components
- Accurate pocket tracking and unit accounting through accumulation and separation
- Intelligent optimization of all areas for maximum efficiency and performance
- Extensive integration with ERP, scheduling, and other shop-floor control systems creating the “smart factory” of the future
- Automatic notification of system faults via SMS or email (optional)
- Historical playback of all system sequences (optional)
- Intelligent WIP systems to maximize the storage and retrieval of orders in a FIFO or LIFO system
