Our client had a manual aggregation system, where the challenge was to streamline the chaotic aggregation process to a leaner process without affecting the production speed or changing the set SOP.
Management was keen on a quick turnaround solution that could be implemented in a month without the need for skilled workers.
Our subject matter experts and solution desk team studied the complete problem and suggested an automatic solution – Jekson’s LAS.
The following steps:
- Our solution desk conducted an onsite visit to the customer's facility to comprehensively assess their requirements.
- They meticulously inspected the available space and analyzed the existing manufacturing line setup.
- Consulted client’s management on various aspects of time, process, etc
- Crafting a tailored solution to address all client constraints, they developed a customized plan to optimize operations.
- Following approval of the design from the client, the finalized solution was promptly forwarded to the manufacturing team, ensuring alignment with the client's needs and specifications.
Solution and Implementation of Solution:
After analyzing the requirements from the client, we came up with a 4-node LAS system, which will not just serve our client's current requirements but can also serve future requirements as our LAS machine can accommodate 6 nodes, which are retrofittable.
Additionally, our team observed that product movement and product handling are also issues in the case of shipper packaging, so they suggested using a conveyor for easy product movement and handling.
Jekon’s LAS system
This state-of-the-art machine provided an all-encompassing solution, utilizing advanced technology to generate labels by scanning products at the primary stage.
Upon project onboarding and transition to manufacturing, a comprehensive testing phase took place at Jekson's facility, involving stakeholders from both the client and Jekson, known as the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).
Following the successful completion of the FAT, signifying the machine's adherence to specifications, it was dispatched to the client's site for installation and integration into their operations.
Where our:
- Our service team, equipped with comprehensive training from the factory, conducted the on-site installation of the machine onto the customer's production line.
- Before installation, they communicated prerequisites to the client per the defined scope of work.
- Following installation, the team conducted rigorous trials on the production line, meticulously checking parameters under varied conditions.
- Upon completion, they obtained approval for the machine installation, ensuring all necessary documentation was provided and reviewed.
- Trained the staff on the machine with their current SOP
Timelines: 4 weeks for Manufacturing and 1.5 weeks for installation
Results:
