CHALLENGE
Our customer (A Bourbon Cooperage) was looking to expand their capacity at two of their cooperages. As part of that expansion a Down Ender was built and provided by another vendor less the controls package and hardware. We provided a complete set of drawings, PLC, HMI, Servo Programming. We also field wired the equipment to our control panel designed and built in-house. This Down Ender integrated with upstream and downstream equipment over Ethernet/IP Comms. Envision Automation & Controls also provided integration services of the upstream accumulation conveyor and diverters. This allowed the outfeed of the toast system to prioritize and send barrels to the appropriate Roll Out machines based on production needs.
