The importance of Data in a Conveyorized Finishing System

In conveyorized finishing operations, the volume of data generated across a single production shift is substantial. Paint batches, carrier timestamps, load bar launches, line speeds, and process recipes all produce records that can either be captured and used or quietly lost. For finishing operation

Rockwell Automation report: 93% of manufacturers have MES, but only 23% have fully integrated it

A Rockwell Automation survey of 1,560 manufacturers finds MES adoption is nearly universal, but enterprise-wide integration remains the defining gap.

Kasa: Making a Difference in PLC Solutions

Automation systems can be quite complex, but they are typically controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). A PLC is a digital computer designed for rugged industrial applications and is the “brains” of a manufacturer’s automation system. Typically used in control panels to perform the logic processing, PLCs implement programs written by the user to…

IntelliFinishing: Flex 1 and Flex 2 Offer Powerful, Flexible Finishing Options

Outdated Finishing Systems For the automatic finishing process in manufacturing, it’s no longer necessary to separate parts so that each must have its own conveyorized system. Recent and rapid technological advancements make it possible to finish parts of wildly differing sizes and processes simultaneously with each part process progression uniquely tailored to that part’s optimal…
