Automated Mould Storage & Retrieval System
Rubber and polymer manufacturing plant
Moulds were located by memory and by walking the racks. A mould nobody could find held up a changeover, and there was no record of where anything had been put back.
What we built
- Mould and rack masters, so every mould has one known, enforced location
- Auto-run mode that sequences retrieval and executes it through the PLC
- Live PLC communication built into the application rather than a separate SCADA licence
- Alarm history with a full fault trail, and scheduled report generation
- Role-based permissions and automated database backup
