Solutions in Action: Nercon will showcase its Conveyor Changeover Efficiency Loop Display

Oshkosh, WI (PRWEB) November 01, 2012

At PACK EXPO 2012, Nercon will showcase its Conveyor Changeover Efficiency Loop with safety and energy monitoring demonstrations. The racetrack-configured conveyor loop displays a variety of Nercons adjustable guide rail assemblies, from manual to fully automated control solutions.

The Oshkosh, Wis.-based company, having surpassed the 35 year benchmark, is well-known for engineering and manufacturing processing and package handling conveyor systems. Serving food and consumer goods manufacturing industries, Nercon specializes in solving manufacturing business objectives from maximizing production capacity to reducing production line down time.

The quick changeover conveyor loop demonstration will help manufacturers with multiple stock-keeping units discover strategies for increasing production efficiencies. One size does not fit all when it comes to conveyors, so the first step in increasing efficiency is creating a mechanical and control solution that fits each applications unique needs. Nercons quick changeover conveyor loop display allows users to test and compare several levels of changeover solutions, including quickset bracket assemblies, set-in rails, hand-wheel adjustable guide rails, and push-button automatic guide rails.

Improving changeover efficiency is a top priority for our consumer products manufacturing customers with multiple SKU product lines, said Mike Weickert, director of application engineering at Nercon. Its up to Nercon to work with the production team to optimize the conveyor line with an equipment and controls solution that provides the best changeover efficiencies for the application with adaptability and flexibility for the future.

An Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus 6 human machine interface (HMI) provides a user-friendly interface between the machine and operator monitoring the changeover. The HMI is programmed on the demonstrative loop using FactoryTalk
