Moving your PRODUCTION line: WATCH FOR DISRUPTIONS TO SYSTEMS THAT COULD LEAD TO GLITCHES OR FAILURES

摘要

Follow nine key steps to ensure the installation works properly when systems are back online. Moving or reconfiguring a production line can disrupt a complex and finely tuned system. Electrical distribution systems, variable frequency drives (VFDs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), lighting, communication circuitry, controls, emergency stop systems, and more are susceptible to unanticipated changes ranging from glitches to outright failures. Problems at the unit level may cause failures at the system level, such as unexpected tripping of conveyor drive systems, communication system failures, overheated equipment, an unsafe electrical system, and costly downtime.
