CASE STUDY: Work in Process Conveyor System

work in process conveyor

CASI was presented with a problem to automatically route and sort electronic assemblies for WIP and testing.

CASI proposed utilizing our 24 volt motorized roller conveyor and the SortMaster 100 24 volt bi-directional sorter for the application.

The process starts with the operator putting empty trays on the conveyor.

Another operator adds the units on the tray along with the "traveler" paperwork that shows what is to be done with the unit.

WIP sortation

The trays are conveyed down the zero pressure accumulation conveyor system to the operator work stations.

Once the tray reaches the correct work station, the system diverts it into the zone for processing.

Once the divert lanes are full, the system alerts the operators and the product is moved to storage.

The benefits from the new system include reduced labor, less product damage from manual handling and QC involvement.
