Implementation of FabEagle®LC Line Control System

This document is a success story detailing the implementation of the FabEagle®LC line control system for a global manufacturer of electronic products. The project involved building two identical assembly lines for electronic personal care products, one in Germany and the other in China, within an 18-month timeframe. The line controller was designed to manage over 130 process stations and ensure efficient production with minimal downtime. The customer required a system that could adapt to complex production needs while maintaining high quality and reliability. The document outlines the challenges faced, including the need for quick type changes and effective buffer management to handle potential downtimes. It describes the innovative solutions developed, such as decentralized alerts for operators and web-based monitoring tools, which contributed to the successful commissioning of the line controller. The result was a highly automated production process supported by a 24/7 service contract, ensuring continuous operation and efficiency.
