Emergency Automation Repair & Upgrade Of A Bakery Line
Click to Enlarge
As experienced problem solvers, CamKay are the people to turn to when industrial systems break down and plants aren’t running. A large food manufacturer needed our emergency automation repair services when their Atlanta, Georgia plant had a line go down and they were unable to make the repairs internally.
We were brought in to correct a problem in their dough stand laminator system which was caused by an older, outdated Allen Bradley Servo Drive and Motion Controller. Sourcing and installing the correct parts got the system up and running, but an evaluation of the current system showed that an upgrade was necessary. By working with the local plant electricians, the recommended upgrades were performed and the line is now more efficient and reliable.
CamKay developed a working relationship with plant management and the electricians to provide training and support for any automation breakdowns.
