Customer Requirements
A manufacturer of children's boxed milk products in Da Lat aims to automate its product packaging lines to improve efficiency, increase productivity, reduce costs, and eliminate potential quality issues due to human error.Additionally, the plant wishes to restructure its production line outputs to ensure consistency and synchronization, implementing national digital transformation trends for easier goods information management.
Solution
Through comprehensive analysis and evaluation by experienced engineers combined with the plant's input, several solutions have been proposed to address the desired improvements in the milk manufacturing plant in Da Lat:- Implement a 3-in-3-out palletizer, consolidating the outputs of three production lines into one palletizer system with vertical conveyors and overhead conveyor systems. This consolidation streamlines packaging, standardizes processes, saves labor, and enhances overall organization and cleanliness. Consequently, there is no dispersion, eliminating the need for forklifts roaming around the warehouse, and the conveyor belts passing through the production area will be elevated.
- Given that the plant's product line is milk, the popularity of milk among consumers increases annually, resulting in a significant rise in orders. Therefore, there is a need to increase production capacity, meaning the palletizer system must be able to handle a larger volume, up to 150% more than the customer's requirements, to accommodate unexpected increases in order quantities.
- To keep up with current trends in factory digitization, full automation or semi-automation and enhancing the plant's digital management capabilities are essential for the milk plant in Da Lat.
