Current Line Video
A complete cycle showing operators, transfers and waiting time.
Improve existing production
Find the bottleneck.
Upgrade the right step.
Review the current sequence, interfaces, labor and quality constraints before adding compatible automation.
Diagnose before changing equipment
Protect useful equipment. Fix the actual constraint.
An upgrade may involve one stand-alone process, a compatible interface or a staged automation plan. The recommendation depends on the existing line.
- Map the current sequence and cycle
- Identify labor, quality and throughput constraints
- Check controls, utilities, footprint and hand-off points
- Define a phased validation and installation plan
A controlled
upgrade process.
The goal is a compatible next step, not unnecessary replacement.
01
Document
Record current equipment, sequence, staffing, output and recurring problems.
02
Diagnose
Separate the real bottleneck from secondary symptoms.
03
Design
Define compatible equipment, controls and phased integration.
04
Validate
Agree trial, installation and acceptance criteria before changeover.
Useful evidence for
an upgrade assessment.
Photos and video of the actual process are as important as the finished product drawing.
