futronic receives follow-up order from Mulia Glass

Following successful completion of a project to modernise one of PT Mulia Glass’s production lines, automation specialist futronic has been tasked with retrofitting another of the Indonesian company’s lines.

Early in 2019, futronic received an order from glass manufacturer PT Mulia Glass to modernise one of the production lines at a plant south-east of Jakarta.

The project specifically concerned Line 4, comprised of a glass moulding machine and a welding machine for making glass blocks. Specialists at futronic drafted new circuit diagrams and adapted the software; one particular challenge was that all sensors and actuators on the production line needed to be integrated into the system however the line went up running smoothly and reliably.

In October 2020 the satisfied customer asked futronic to retrofit another of its lines.

This project entails a revamp of Line 3.2 which, apart from a few minor details, is almost identical to Line 4. futronic’s technicians will be required to exchange controls, drives and wiring and there will also be a new human-machine interface, customised in part.

The modernised plant will go live “sometime next year”, depending on Covid-19.
