Silex Industrial Drive Recorder Adopted as an Option for SATO's Automatic Label Applicator

Background of Adoption

In the manufacturing and logistics industries, there is a growing need to improve efficiency and traceability. In particular, stable operation of label application operations has become an important issue. S-ROBO Pro, one of Sato's automatic label applicators, is a machine that reads the shape and position of the product with a 3D camera and applies stickers and labels at high speed. It is not necessary to feed the products in the same direction, and stickers and labels can be applied accurately even if the products are unevenly shaped. In the unlikely event of a breakdown or malfunction during operation, the RM-100RC industrial drive recorder from Silex is used to quickly confirm the operating phenomenon based on video recordings and to quickly restore the customer's production line.

Effects of adopting the RM-100RC

The introduction of Silex's RM-100RC industrial drive recorder has facilitated the identification of the operating status of the automatic label applicator and the cause of any trouble. In addition to the "S-ROBO Pro," the following effects were achieved with the automatic label applicators including the "Tough Arm Series.

Improvement of traceability

By recording the entire label application process, it is possible to quickly identify the cause of any problems and take countermeasures, contributing to improved product quality.

Improved work efficiency

Real-time monitoring of the operation status of automatic label applicators facilitates maintenance planning and reduces downtime.

Enhanced data management

By utilizing the collected video data, the RM-100RC identifies areas for improvement in the business process and promotes continuous improvement of operations.

Outline of RM-100RC

The RM-100RC is a multi-camera drive recorder for industrial sites that records troubles and events in automated equipment and production lines in factories and warehouses. It can record with up to four cameras at once, and allows efficient condition monitoring by setting the recording mode and storage method to suit the application and by recording before and after times centered on the trigger. The RM-100RC also allows users to check camera images and monitor the system from a wireless terminal such as a tablet PC using the RM-100RC's access point function, even if there is no network on site.
