Dynamic Checkweighers were able to diagnose and reduce overfill rates through process optimization with filling machines.
Rockwell Automation’s Automation Fair, Houston, TX – Nov. 9, 2017–Hardy Process Solutions’ Dynamic Checkweighers were able to diagnose and reduce overfill rates through process optimization with filling machines. With integration into the factory control system, via Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk®, the Hardy Dynamic Checkweigher is saving the manufacturer overfill expenses of approximately $35K annually. Machine control, statistics, and analytics are managed with an integrated Rockwell Automation CompactLogix® PLC while the high performance Hardy HI 4050CW check weigher controller contributes as a co-processer, generating fast, stable and accurate weight data. The resulting high speed check weighing system can process up to 350 pieces per minute and generate a myriad of process data that is easily shared with any other device on The Connected Enterprise Network.
