Automatic Production Control System (Corrugated board, Spain, Finland, Italy) The commercial orders are planned into production orders and this information is sent to our system via electronics (serial, ethernet , memory stick or even good old floppy disc), the data is then presented to the various machines in the production line in the format required and using the specific protocol. The actual production is monitored and when the requested amounts are done an order change sequence is initiated changing the settings of each individual unit in the correct sequence and in the correct time. This frees the operator and gives him time to monitor and guarantee the quality of the product coming off the line. The production results (quantities, run time, stop time, number of order changes, number of quality changes, …) are gathered and joined into a report which is sent back to the administration system, the production manager can at any time consult the status of the line(s) and evaluate the production efficiency.
