Kerr Plastics Material Handling Case Study
Key Technology
- Automatic Vial Singulators
- Interface to Mold Injection Machines
- Weigh Verification for quality control
- Air Conveying System - uses blowers to gently transport vials from high production vial mold injection machine. Cost effective for relatively long distances
- Automatic Carton Erectors
- Print and Apply On Demand
- High Speed Communication Protocols - profibus, RS232, devicenet
- Interface to MATTEC manufacturing scheduling software
- Routing and production inventory tracking software
Business Challenge
- Update Kerr's manual process of distributing prescription vials
- Reduce labor time and cost
- Keep the plastic injection molding machines running
Results
- The new system interfaces with J.D. Edwards 'ERP' and has saved a tremendous amount of labor from the previous manual process
- Bastian's solution allowed Kerr to singulate vials as they came out of the injection molding machine. They were able to be immediately counted into routed cartons, automatically verified, and sealed and labeled for shipment
