CHALLENGE
Our customer (A Bourbon Cooperage) was looking to expand their capacity at two of their cooperages. We provided two systems in total, one for each Cooperage. This system needed to combine the output of two automated Roll Out machines into one automated Char system. In total we built two machines (Per Plant) and integrated 4 systems to communicate over Ethernet/IP and CIP Safety. Our Cross Conv. and Claw (Pick & Place) would act as the heart of these systems. Handling priority from either Roll Out line as well as traffic control into the Char system.
