CASE STUDY

The 12+12 mould can produce 7,500
complete lids per hour

If parts fail to meet the specified criteria they are removed from the line by
air blasts, all without interruption of the
production flow. Utilising the latest 'smart
factory' technology ensures full traceability, supported by the system capturing related data covering total parts produced,
parts rejected and reasons for those rejections.
Over the build, tooling and machines
were built in tandem with lid development
and related consumer focus group information. Rick Ormerod says this required a
different mindset. "Development is exponential. If you challenge yourself to think
differently, you can be more disruptive. It's
only when you start to put the pieces together, adjusting the requirements as the
project evolves and consumer feedback is
generated, can you really refine the process. Thanks to everyone's engagement,
this project was an absolute privilege to
work on."
He closes by explaining that the push
button lids, designed and produced for a
blue chip personal care client, have proven to be a feat of functional engineering several years in the making. Yet, the
project may not have got off the ground
or have been quite so cutting-edge or financially viable without the cooperation
of such forward-thinking machinery and
equipment supply partners.

The line brings together injection stack
moulding, IML, robotics and vision
