Line Control and OEM Line System Integration

Most manufacturing lines are a collection of machines made by multiple OEMs. Often, each machine becomes its own automation island; loosely interlocked with the machines up- and downstream, but requiring individual management of recipes, product-specific setpoints, alarm thresholds, and other configuration.

Line Control Systems delivered by Brock Solutions simplify this by unifying your entire line, allowing:

  • Single-system recipe management: Product recipes are managed in one system, easily connectable to ERP, PLM, or other planning tools. Upon start-up of a production run, the entire line is configured automatically and reliably, making sure that the same product is made the same way every time.
  • Quality Control: The line is monitored in real-time for product and recipe-specific critical conditions and control-points (including HACCP and regulatory control checks). Problems in production are caught and corrected quickly, instead of scrapping or rejecting products after-the-fact.
  • Line Monitoring: Overall line status is tracked by one system, pulling together performance, trends, and alarms for reporting, analysis, and continuous improvement.
  • Work Instructions: Make sure that the necessary manual operations are always done correctly and on time. Work instructions can be product-specific or generic.
