Let´s Make a Higher-Quality Product: Mixing & Transport in Lean Six Sigma

After the mixing process, the finished product goes through an automatic metal check and sieve check, after which it is transported further via an automated big-bag filling system or a filling system optimized for the final packaging step. If desired, this can be carried out in a high-care environment.

These processes are also carried out with the help of gravity, thereby saving energy and minimizing the use of moving parts. Last but not least, the Lean Mixing Concept is also designed to be very Easy-to-Clean, which is why the mixer, hopper, sieve, and metal check unit are all fitted with a side guidance system, making it possible to easily and quickly access and clean all interior parts and components.

Data Analysis for Process Automation and Production in Lean Six Sigma

The ability to analyse data is another important resource for Lean Six Sigma companies. Dinnissen automates the entire production process and therefor provides PLC controls for machines and transport systems at the field level as well as links to process controllers, variable speed drives, and master control centres in the company network. The supplier of the concept organizes the collection, forwarding, processing and visualization of measurement and control signals from production processes via SCADA systems.

In doing so, it visualizes measurement data in operator and control rooms. This simplifies the preparation of reports and the installation and operation of alarm circuits. Dinnissen implements its automation projects using the communication protocols of commonly used ERP systems such as SAP and Oracle, which means that linking and integration should not be a problem. The users of automated systems are also provided with remote control facilities, so it´s possible to monitor and control production processes from a distance to reduce downtime and production losses.
