SIF-400 Stations

Each of the SIF-400 system stations carries out part of the process. Know more about the process carried out by each of the station and the specific technologies in each station.

SIF-401 - Pallet and container feeding station

The function of this station is to feed containers and pallets to the system.

The containers can be of two types: cylindrical or quadrangular prisms. These are stored in gravity feeders that, being modular, can be easily disassembled and interchanged depending on production loads.

The containers are placed on the pallet by means of electric actuators and a gravity positioner. All pallets include an RFID tag that allows for their identification and traceability throughout the system.

SIF-402 - Container filling station - solid

In this station the containers of solid raw material are filled.

The raw material can be of three different colours (red, blue and yellow) and can be supplied independently or mixed, in different doses.

Once the containers are filled, the amount of material introduced into the container is checked.

SIF-403 - Container filling station - liquid

In this station the containers of liquid raw material are filled.

Two liquids of different densities can be supplied independently or mixed, with subsequent checking of the filling height.

The station has an area for regulating the flow of the resulting mixture.

SIF-404 - Container filling station - customized product

This station supplies the system with containers of customized material. To do this, the station has feeders adapted to the two available types of container. The customized product must be introduced into the containers previously by the user.

The containers can contain any externally produced objects (through 3D printing, turning, milling...) that fit in the available space.

SIF-405 - Capping station

In this station the corresponding cap is fitted depending on the type of container that arrives.

The caps are stored in two interchangeable feeders, for circular and square section caps. A pneumatic part type detection system recognizes what type of cap is in each feeder. The number of parts in each feeder is known in real time, detecting if either feeder is empty.

A machine vision camera verifies that the cap has been fitted in the correct position.

SIF-406 - Container warehouse station

This station acts as a warehouse for finished or semi-finished products. It can store 50 containers and their corresponding pallets.

The warehouse allows the containers to be introduced, extracted and moved internally according to the needs of the process.

SIF-407 - Container labelling and dispatching station

This station has a double function:

First of all it prints QR labels that are stuck on the containers. A machine vision system inspects the code to link it to the RFID of the corresponding pallet and ensure the correct placement of the label.

Additionally, the station dispatches the correctly finished containers for unit product orders.

SIF-408 - Container packing station

This station serves as a link between the assembly and logistics stations.

The containers arrive on the conveyor belt and a collaborative robot picks them up and places them in a pack in one of the three packing areas in the station.

The station contains a colour code to indicate the different stages of preparation of each pack.

SIF-409 - Pack warehouse station

This station acts as a warehouse for finished packs. It can store up to 8 packs in its different locations.

Subsequently, the finished packs can be transferred towards the dispatching station to be palletized and labelled.

SIF-410 - Pack palletizing station

This station is in charge of palletizing packs prepared in previous stages of the process.

It allows the creation of pallets of one or two pack levels. To do this, a SCARA robot feeds and places the packs on the pallets. Subsequently, the same robot packages them with plastic wrap.

The station includes transparent guards and safety barriers.

SIF-411 - Pack pallet labelling

This station dispenses NFC labels and prints bar codes on them in continuous movement.These labels are placed on the plastic wrap of the packs.

Before the package leaves the station, an NFC reader links its code to the system database to store all the information related to the order in one place (quantities, date of manufacture, content...).

SIF-412 - Pack pallet dispatching station

The function of this station is the dispatching of completed pack pallets for delivery to the customer.

The pack pallet will be shipped by one of the three defined delivery methods. A colour-coded status indicator shows the current stage of the process.

By placing a mobile device with an NFC scanner close to the pallet’s shipping label, you can obtain information about the delivery of the order.

SIF-413 - Recycling station

This station allows the solid raw material used during the process to be stored and recycled.

The solid raw material is separated and stored by colour thanks to three colour detection sensors and three blowers. In addition, the station has specific warehouses for containers, caps, packs and pallets.

In this way, the material is available to be used again in the system. The entire recycling process is handled using the augmented reality application, VAR-400.

SIF-414 - Autonomous Mobile Robot

It is a technological proposal that merges an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR), a control service and a mobile application to optimise inventory management through the automation and coordination of activities. The system will detect by itself the shortage of raw materials or the need for recycling in a specific station, and the robot will move to carry out the corresponding task.

What makes up the AMR?
  • A mobile robot: capable of moving autonomously, avoiding fixed and mobile obstacles and recalculating its route without making any changes to the environment and without the need for physical or magnetic guides.
  • The control service: in charge of directing the actions of the robot and the operator.
  • Mobile application: designed to notify operators of the tasks assigned to assist the robot.
