Back in 2017, BSB had already developed software that could be applied to most blow moulding machines of any brand and model on the market, with just a few software code integrations.
Based on this initial idea, we developed PSB (Performing Software Blowmoulding) using a MOOG MC600 Plus Series PLC with Quad Core CPU operating in a Codesys environment, “open” to communication via Ethercat with third-party suppliers and integrating an “OPC UA Server” that allows access to key management data (MES) on specific requests from the end customer.
The operator interface video pages have been created to make the system immediately easy to use, using a series of graphic ‘icons’ specially created on the model of currently used smartphones.
Production process information is collected on the most commonly used pages in a simple and immediate manner, avoiding the dispersion of the various machine parameters and wasting time searching for them by the operator.
The platform allows real-time monitoring of each stage of the production process and rapid and effective intervention in the event of anomalies via an alarm history.
