Updated trash compactor. This involved:- Selected an appropriate programmable logic controller for the application - Programmed, installed, and wired the PLC- Saves the company $5,300 every two years by doubling the cylinder’s life spanCompleted exposure analysis and established existing conditions for adhesive delivery system. This involved the following:- Documented sequence of operations for every adhesive system operation- Modified code to prevent adhesive spills- Put in program verifications to guarantee certain valves are closed during adhesive transfers and operations- Updated code to integrate an automated valve instead of a manual valve- Updates will prevent spills from occurring in the future. The company lost $40,000 from multiple spills in 2012Used RSLogix 5000 to write a waste reduction program to fully automate the process for turning the printing and scoring stations on and off- Program is more efficient and reduces the waste for that process by 3%- Program is projected to save the company $25,000 per yearWrote a program to preserve silicone batches by automatically monitoring when a component runs out during the batching process- Saves $1,000 every time a component runs out during batching
