Recipe Weighing System in Factory
Automation
The Moderna Group is a wheat-products
manufacturing company. The company owns the second largest bakery in
Ecuador, two flour mills, and at the same time is a bread
improvement ingedient producer. By the year 2000, The Moderna Group,
plans to start production of baby food products.
The Moderna Group uses the WinWedge
software in several applications. In one instance, a Mettler-Toledo
Jaguar Scale is used as a weighing-recipe system. A Jaguar is a
powerful, easy to use scale instrument for factory automation and is
used to design, build, install, start-up, operate, and maintain
reliable systems. This device allows control over both the
consumption of recipes and raw materials. WinWedge is used to
collect data sent by the Jaguar and input that data real-time to an
Informix database running on a Windows PC. The real consumption is
compared against the database.
In another instance, a
Mettler-Toledo Digital Scale sends quality control weight data to a
Windows PC running WinWedge. WinWedge inputs this data real-time
into Excel. For quality assurance purposes, a statistical
spreadsheet is designed to record statistical weights of products.
According to Mr. Pablo Coronel, "I have used WinWedge in several
applications and have found the manual to be particularly helpful".
Overview of the Systems
System 1
- Mettler-Toledo Jaguar scale
collects data from a weighing-recipe system.
- This data is send via an RS232
cable to the Windows PC running WinWedge.
- WinWedge inputs this recipe data
real-time into an Informix database for quality control monitoring
and storage.
System 2
- Mettler-Toledo digital scale
sends quality control weight data via an RS232 cable to a Windows
PC running WinWedge.
- WinWedge inputs the scale data
in real-time into an Excel spreadsheet for statistical analysis.
