SCADA System for Realtime Hanger Management Experiment in Painting Process

The conduction of this experiment in an automotive company that manufactures brake systems for cars and motorcycles. The products produced by the company go through various processes, one of these is the painting process. Products enter the specific painting process and place on a hanger. So, if the hanger has gone through several cycles, the paint dries and accumulates. This repetition process on the hanger can cause damage to the product that is processed to become Not Good (NG). This problem condition needs a system that can monitor the hanger position on the conveyor in realtime and indicates replacing hangers with piles of paint into a new one, clean hanger. The control system built uses the KEYENCE IV HG-500MA camera sensor, Mitsubishi Q03UDECPU PLC as the control center, and KEYENCE KV7500 to connect between the cameras, MELSOFT MC Works64 SCADA software, and the MS SQL Server database. The author discusses a SCADA system built into the entire hanger management control system in this paper. The Application MELSOFT MC Works communicates with control systems, cameras, and databases in the system collaboration also described. This collaboration includes monitoring and sending hanger position information to the database by detecting abnormal conditions, for example piles of paint on a hanger. The results of this SCADA real-time positioning and cycling of the hanger to reduce damage or NG and rework on the products.
