SOLUTIONS FOR FOOD SERVICES AND BAKERIES Like many industries, businesses in food service industries are often staffed with little prior experience of industrial automation technology; therefore we build our systems to be as user-friendly as possible. This requires straightforward operation and recipe handling, plus exceptional reliability of control systems. FAST TO MARKET In most cases, automation requirements associated with food industries relate to line speed, temperature control, and monitoring of the position of goods at key process stages. It is also the case that achieving greater line speeds can create new challenges. For this reason, identifying the tray position for filling and depanning is crucial for proper output of food items. As with depanning, the denesting process requires complex motion control. Food items are depanned by specialized tooling designed specifically to the product requirements. Our food service clients require both logic and process controls in their automated systems. To deliver both, we first set out to understand the demands of a particular line of products, then provide a system that exceeds their expectations. Process controls monitor tray position along the conveyors, and can handle temperature control in in terms of "zones." Ultimately, the operator can manage and modify assembly with ease, while being signaled of any issues needing attention.
