DELTA FOODS S.A.

Commissioning of Robotic Palletizing System
Share

The challenge

Return to operation of a palletizing system consisting of four lines and two robotic arms (inactive for a long time), with alterations to the original programming. Installation of new mechanical parts and system support functions. Final Ι/Ο test for palletizing lines and Start-up for ABB robotic arms.

The Outcome

Following our programming, commissioning, and Start-up services, both robotic systems are ready for operation, while achieving the required production cycle times.

Short Description

DELTA understood very early the importance of robotic systems in productivity, safety, and reduction of the operating costs in the Dairy Industry. In one of the Robotic applications of the company, AS HELLAS was asked to provide a solution to a Robotic Palletizing System that for various reasons was out of order DELTA’s facilities in Agios Stefanos.

After the first meeting at the DELTA facilities, it became clear that the scope of the project would be wider as work in various auxiliary systems was also required. In the end, the interventions of the Robotics Department of AS HELLAS included Automation tasks as well as Robotics and Commissioning tasks.

Project Description

In one of the Robotic applications of the company, AS HELLAS was asked to provide a solution to a Robotic Palletizing System that for various reasons was out of order in DELTA’s facilities in Agios Stefanos.

The requirements of the project included:

  • Final Ι/Ο test for palletizing lines.
  • Start-up of ABB robotic arm.
  • Integration of a new interlayer robot for cardboard in the PLC program.
  • Program changes (RAPID) of a palletizing robot with regard to palletizing patterns, and other aspects.
  • Extensive tests for ensuring the proper operation of the lines.

The Company

DELTA is one of the most important companies in the Industrial History of Greece.

Technical Solution

After the first meeting at the DELTA facilities, it became clear that the scope of the project would be wider as work in various auxiliary systems was also required. In the end, the interventions of the Robotics Department of AS HELLAS included Automation tasks as well as Robotics and Commissioning tasks.

Among other things, interventions were made in the interlayer robots cabling and in the PROFIBUS network cabling. A chronic communication controller module and computer communication issue was resolved and eliminated malfunctions and faults that arose during voltage dips/drops. During the project, the use of Robotstudio ABB software proved very useful for online programming changes and fine-tuning, palette optimization, but also for troubleshooting the IRC5 controllers where needed.
