Suryon applied a digital twin approach to a filling–capping–labeling line for household cleaning products. Product/format scenarios were validated before deployment, and commissioning was de-risked through virtual commissioning with a live performance dashboard.
Scope
- Modeling & Simulation: Time/flow model for filler, capper (torque), labeler and conveyor buffers.
- Data & Integration: Twin synchronized with PLC/SCADA signals (flows, valve timing, temperatures, cap torque, conveyor speeds, vision pass/fail, downtime causes).
- Changeover Optimization: Scenario testing for bottle/cap/label formats; speed, torque window and label alignment tuned to recipes.
- Virtual Commissioning: PLC/HMI logic validated on the twin to minimize on-site trial-and-error.
Project Summary
- Line Type: Liquid filling + capping + labeling (household cleaners)
- Our Role: Digital-twin modeling, data integration, virtual commissioning, changeover optimization
Benefits (scenario tests & general outcomes)
- Product/format changes validated without stopping production.
- Filling accuracy, cap torque, label alignment improved prior to go-live.
- Bottlenecks and root causes surfaced early; line flow balanced.
- Commissioning risk and uncertainty reduced; on-site tuning shortened.
- Unified performance dashboard enabled faster, aligned decisions.
- Changeover steps standardized; training and know-how transfer eased.
- CIP/cleaning and energy alternatives compared transparently.
