Here there is a bank of pneumatic pressure switches for ensuring correct part location. Each of the sensors has numerous setting that need changed from factory setting to ensure that the sensors work correctly and some of the sensors are set up slightly differently to each other.
The sensors where labelled and a corresponding chart fitted as close as possible with all the settings shown. This helps ensure that settings are not set wrongly due to not being known, assumed or tweaked. personal can check them during maintenance routines and should one ever fail the correct settings are available with out having to go looking.
Here the proximity sensors are on adjustable slots that where designed into the plate by the OEM to help with initial setup of the machine. They positions should never need change, if they do its likely because that something is worn and hence the worn item should be changed out.
The plate could also be re-engineered with fixed holes however the small blue arrow markings show exactly where each sensor should sit if they ever need changed in future.
This shows a manual ball valve with a clear diagram beside showing that it should be closed for normal operations. This valve in the past before the label was fitted was opened by someone during production who assumed it had been close by mistake.This caused problems and down time with the process which is meant to run with just pure nitrogen from another seperate valve. It wasn't until the next morning when an experience technican came in that the problem was found.
There is literly thousands of ball valves in the factory so it is vital to know what state they should all be in.
This was in an installation of a new machine where originally nothing was labelled. All the cabinet componenets were sunsquently labelled for there function and all lidding was labelled so in the event of it ever being removed it would be put back in the correct place for the compoent labelling to make sense.
It is planned to go one step further and also show the correct ampage set points for all the MCB's. How many times have we gone to machinery with a motor burnt out only to find somebody in their wisdom had turned up the trip to stop those nuisience faults.
