Technology to optimise performance of new food and dairy products packaging plant in Ireland.
London -- Quinn Packaging, a leading manufacturer of plastics packaging for the dairy spread and food tray sectors, is applying wireless technology to optimise the performance of a new plant in Ballyconnell, Republic of Ireland.
The PlantMaster wireless system from Barco Vision Ltd is designed to enable Quinn to improve output and help eliminate manual paperwork from the factory floor. The system features a report generator that gives users access to real-time information at the company’s machines and an automatic, two-way link to its ERP system.
Extrusion, thermoforming, printing, slitting, plastic strapping and blown film machines will be connected to the system using Barco’s latest generation of DU8P/WDL wireless data unit which offers complete backup and recovery capability.
