Situation<\/b>
\nOur client, who produces canned beverages, was experiencing operational challenges with their E-80 Conveyor. They were seeking an assessment to pinpoint areas for mechanical reliability improvement, validate successful processes, and provide a thorough assessment with clear and actionable recommendations to increase throughput efficiency. They had identified possible causes for their operational shortcomings but were seeking external validation to confirm and possibly uncover anything they had overlooked. Their facility, in partnership with another prominent company, fills, seals, labels, and stores cans, using a straightway conveyor to move pallets to the second floor and into the operations building. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) then transport pallets to storage bays, creating an integrated, yet intricate, workflow.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/b>
\n<\/b>Oxford provided a team of two (a Project Manager\/Automation Engineer and Electromechanical Field Service Engineer) to perform an agnostic assessment of the pallet conveyor, automation, and AGV systems supporting production and distribution operations to identify bottlenecks, reliability risks, and operational inefficiencies and identify recommended changes.\u00a0 Their pallet conveyor system is segmented into functional zones, which were evaluated with an independent inspection, while appraising their performance capabilities.<\/p>\n

The zones are:<\/p>\n
