ULMA Packaging has developed a new feature aimed at facilitating maintenance tasks based on RFID sensors. This new feature complements the previous format control system, which was already available and designed to prevent operational errors during format changes. This new utility offers the possibility of having a cycle counter and an individual alarm for each mould in the traysealer to perform activities such as individual item identification and mould maintenance.
The system, in general, is based on a set of RFID tags located in arms and moulds which are read by these RFID sensors. This technology provides seamless and effective communication between the machine and the components. Along with the alerts received on the machine's HMI, the operator can more appropriately schedule the appropriate maintenance tasks, thus avoiding unexpected production stoppages compared to the previous format control system.
The equipment with RFID sensors provides the following benefits:
Benefits of the RFID Sensor System
- Maximize equipment availability
- Prevent operational errors during format changes
- Facilitate mould maintenance tasks
ULMA remains committed to continuously developing new utilities that simplify machine operation and reduce downtime with its advanced RFID sensing technologies.
