Comprehensive Presentation on Labeling System Development and Integration Strategy

This presentation outlines the recent progress in the development of the labeling system, focusing on the proposed designs, budget estimates, and integration of the pusher and variable speed twin-belt conveyor systems. It compares make vs. buy options and includes ROI calculations based on resource repurposing. Discussion points include next steps towards a detailed design review, stress analyses, and collaboration with vendors. Key system design features, challenges, and cost considerations for the automated labeling and flipper systems are also summarized.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Flip LabelUpdate Presentation 2-5-10 Rev 1

  2. Presentation Goals • Slides guide discussion • Inform about recent progress • Summarize make vs. buy options • Aligning • Labeling • Discuss next steps • Prepare for next week’s detailed design review Rev 1

  3. ROI Calculations • Based on a given number of minutes per day, 5 days a week, for two years • Does not include benefits and other costs associated with employees • 10% IRR • Flipper and aligner estimate based on repurposing two employees • Flipper, aligner and labeler estimate based on repurposing four employees • Total cost for 2 lines Rev 1

  4. Budget Estimates Rev 1

  5. Aligner Proposed Design Rev 1

  6. Aligning - Proposed Solution Rev 1

  7. Variable Speed Twin-Belt Conveyor System • Outside vendor to supply conveyor system • Possible Vendors: • Kleenline Corporation • Lipe Automation • Lead Time: Unknown • Capabilities: Full/Half-width product • Cost: Unknown Rev 1

  8. Pusher System • Electric Linear Actuators are triggered by object detection beam. • Sliding pusher-plate contacts product and gently pushes to center of conveyor. • Logic controller allows for use on all product lines. • Products end up in single file line, to safely continue through x-ray detection. • Very compact system Rev 1

  9. System Integration and Occupancy • Pusher System has marginal impact on space constraints • Variable speed twin belt conveyor system Rev 1

  10. Preliminary BOM for Pusher System Rev 1

  11. Human Resource Requirements Rev 1

  12. Flipper Proposed Design Rev 1

  13. Air Actuated Flipper with Gate • 304SS flipper tray • .090”-.105” Thick, Material Cost approx $60-$150 • SS wash down type cylinder, 1 1/16” diameter, 3.5” travel • McMaster 6239K155, approx $135 Rev 1

  14. Flipper Gate • Prevents jams • Gate opens to allow single piece to advance • Gate closes while piece is flipped • Rotational actuator controls motion Rev 1

  15. Flipper Continued • Design considerations • Guides to keep product centered • Mounting solution for system • Utilizing smaller diameter conveyer system to save vertical space • 6.5” vertical change, 14” Length • Flip tray construction out of aluminum for prototype? Rev 1

  16. Labeler Progress Implementation Options Rev 1

  17. Labeling System Progress • Algorithms for camera processing written, not yet coded • Tentative price structure for camera system devised, available upon request • In contact with Cal-Pak to create an all-in-one locator and labeler system Rev 1

  18. Labeling Implementation Options • Automatic labeler • Outsource • Recommend MSD follow-up project • Complete as much as possible • Label assist • In-house Rev 1

  19. Automated Labeler • Cost: TBD • Benefits • Current labor required to hand label product can be reallocated • Increased speed • Potential Problems • Does not rotate to align labels as required by this application, this feature would still need to be developed • Air pressure would need adjusting • Enclosure? Rev 1

  20. Label Assist • Cost: ~$660 • Benefits • Improves speed of labeling • Fast implementation • Ergonomic improvement? • Shortfalls • Does not allow for complete reallocation of required labor Rev 1

  21. Next Actions • Conduct stress analyses • Integrate system and model • Dimension most important components • Get more information on vendor collaboration • Compile BOM • Detailed Design Review • Next Friday, 2-12 • Time 1:30 pm? Rev 1
