[Improvement Case] Key Points for Updating PLCs in Control Panels

Cases where failures have been reduced, and not only the operability but also maintenance, upkeep, and availability have become easier.

We would like to introduce an example of improvements in control panel design. In the case of a discontinued PLC, there were instances where it was not possible to respond to failures, and without any alternatives available, this led to production line stoppages. By updating to a new PLC, maintenance has become easier and failures have been reduced. Additionally, by preparing spare parts for any potential troubles, smooth maintenance responses and post-PLC update maintenance have become much more manageable. [Case Summary] ■ Issues - When repair responses were not possible, the lack of alternative parts led to production line stoppages. ■ Results - By enabling repair responses and preparing a minimum of spare parts, it became possible to minimize line stoppages. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
