Achieving sustainable quality and high efficiency in industrial production depends on optimising production processes and moving to full automation. With this new project, commissioned for a high-capacity domestic cable manufacturer, we have made plant-wide raw-material management fully automatic and flexible.
This integrated solution we developed was designed to transfer raw materials to the plant's entire machine park from a central point, simultaneously. To ensure that this large-scale central structure operates seamlessly and with high performance, the robust R&D work carried out by our team — combined with our more than 30 years of industry experience — enabled the project to be completed successfully.
Advanced T-MAX Technologies Used in the System
For the raw-material storage, filling and distribution stages of the project, only T-MAX modular silo and silobas systems with high engineering and durability standards were chosen. The technologies integrated into the plant within this scope are as follows:
8 Load-Cell Modular Silos
These weigh the amount of raw material instantly and precisely, fully digitalising stock management. Thanks to load-cell-based weighing, the material level in each silo is monitored in real time, and planning and procurement processes are based on exact data.
Silo Loaders and Diverter-Assisted Filling Systems
These ensure that material is routed to the correct lines without loss, quickly and accurately. The diverter-assisted architecture enables flexible, error-free distribution from a single feed line to multiple points.
RFID-Standard Central Distribution Tables
These prevent incorrect matches, guaranteeing that the right raw material reaches the right machine safely. RFID-based verification makes recipe safety independent of operator initiative.
Concrete Improvements Achieved in Production Processes
After the system was commissioned at full capacity, very significant operational and quality-focused gains were achieved at the plant:
- Manual Handling Ended: The need to move raw materials by manpower was eliminated, and the factory was equipped with a fully automatic loading system.
- Logistical Workload and Risks Prevented: The need to use forklifts and pallet trucks within the plant was eliminated, raising occupational safety and floor order to the highest level.
- Quality Standardisation Achieved: Quality problems caused by human error were minimised; high scrap rates were prevented and production efficiency was increased.
- Workforce Optimisation and Recipe Safety: The need for multiple operators ended, while unsafe manual recipe data entries — a constant source of risk — were completely prevented.
We thank all our technical and administrative team members who worked with great dedication on commissioning this silo and central system solution for a high-capacity cable manufacturer. We will continue with determination to create sustainable production models and add value to industry.
