Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a manufacturing and packaging system for cigarettes or similar products from manufacturing units, such as cigarette manufacturing machines, so-called makers, packaging machines, so-called packers, possibly film wrapping machines, optionally pack packers, so-called bar packers and possibly carton packers, So-called cartoners for the manufacture and ready to ship packaging of products - cigarettes - a certain, limited quantity - target quantity. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for performing the method.
  • the invention has for its object to control the complete manufacturing and packaging system for cigarettes in particular so that limited quantities - target quantities - can be produced without the production being associated with excessive overproductions.
  • the memory for cigarettes and cigarette packs as well as the other manufacturing units of the "line" are monitored by known bodies, such as sensors, buttons, counters, etc., so that the current production status can be recorded practically at any time and further measures can then be taken.
  • a second method according to the invention is defined in claim 2.
  • the task can be solved by using the target quantity to be manufactured, taking into account the performance of the individual production units, the reject production known as empirical value and taking into account a current, unexpected faulty production of each production unit, the material required for the target quantity, in particular packaging material, is made available.
  • Another special feature of the method according to the invention is that before the target quantity of products - cigarettes / cigarette packs - has been reached, the material present in each production unit, in particular packaging material, is checked with regard to its reusability for the next product type and is displayed on a screen.
  • the target quantity to be produced can result from a product-related specification, but alternatively also from an existing stock of certain material, for example tax stamps for cigarette packs.
  • the target quantity can correspond to the number of tax stamps available.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawings relates to a manufacturing plant for cigarettes, that is, a so-called line.
  • This consists of production units, namely, for example, a cigarette manufacturing machine, namely a maker 10, a packaging machine connected to it, i.e. a packer 11, a subsequent film wrapping machine 12, a packaging machine for producing packs from a plurality of cigarette packs, i.e. a carton packer 13 and a cartoner 14 who packs the packaging, i.e. cigarette sticks, in a shipping carton.
  • the cigarettes manufactured by the maker 10 are fed to the packer 11 by a cigarette conveyor 15 with a cigarette store 16.
  • a cigarette conveyor 15 with a cigarette store 16.
  • This can be, for example, a hinge-lid packer, i.e. a packaging machine for manufacturing hinged boxes.
  • a cut storage 17 is assigned to the packer 11, that is to say a device for receiving a larger supply of prefabricated blanks for the hinged box.
  • the blank store 17 also has conveying elements for feeding blank stacks to the packer 11.
  • the (cigarette) packs produced by the packer 11 are fed to the film wrapping machine 12 via a pack conveyor 18.
  • This has the task of wrapping the cigarette packs in an outer film or plastic blank.
  • Packing groups are formed from the finished cigarette packs, which are provided with a container wrapping in the area of the packer 13 and thus result in a cigarette pack of usually ten packs of cigarettes.
  • These cigarette rods are fed to the cartoner 14 by a rod conveyor 19.
  • a package store 22 for holding a larger number of cigarette packs (without an outer wrapper).
  • the manufacturing units described must be supplied with material. A sufficient amount of tobacco is to be supplied to the maker 10, and also cigarette paper in the form of wound webs, namely bobbins. Furthermore, the filter 10 must also be supplied with filter attachment paper wound in the form of bobbins, so that the manufactured cigarettes can be supplied with the appropriate material in the area of a filter attachment machine 23. The other manufacturing units must also be sent packaging material in wound webs, i.e. as bobbins. This applies to the manufacture of a collar customary for cigarette packs of the hinged box type, also for an inner wrapper, a so-called inner liner of the cigarette group, and for the outer wrapper made of film or cellular glass.
  • a central warehouse 24 in which the bobbins 25 of different materials are stored, for example on pallets.
  • a suitable conveyor device for example a common material conveyor 26, can be moved along a conveyor path 27 between the bearing 24 and the individual production units for the delivery of the bobbin material as required.
  • the bearing 24 can be constructed such that filter attachment paper 28, collar material 29, inner liner material 30, film material 31 and cigarette paper 32 are positioned in the region of the conveyor track 27 for takeover by the material conveyor 26, in each case in a favorable relative position to the associated one manufacturing unit.
  • a control unit 33 of each production unit or machine unit is connected to a central line 34 for this purpose.
  • a central computer 35 is connected to this in turn.
  • computers in the area of the (material) warehouse 24 and in the shipping area are connected, namely a storage PC 36 and a shipping PC 37.
  • the latter is located in the area of the cartoner 14 and the discharge conveyor 21.
  • the central computer 35 can store data are supplied, in the present case by laptop 38.
  • the control units 33 are assigned to the maker 10, the filter attachment machine 23, the packer 11, the pack store 22, the bar packer 13 and the cartoner 14.
  • the production control with regard to a specific production quantity is carried out in accordance with a first embodiment in such a way that a small safety margin is added to the required production quantity, for example between 5% and 10% and that the quantity specification thus formed - target quantity - serves as an input variable.
  • the actual production i.e. the total production
  • the control shown as an example takes into account the expected wrong production and also an unexpected wrong production. This results in an actual faulty production.
  • the expected faulty production results from the data of the individual manufacturing units and aggregates, which are available and saved due to the constant operational evaluation.
  • the unexpected wrong productions are determined by monitoring or querying production data of the individual production units and units during production.
  • the production requirements of the system are continuously determined from the two data, taking into account the quantity specification, namely in such a way that the target quantity is reached when production and production are ended.
  • the number of cigarettes to be manufactured results from the target quantity and the actual faulty productions of the entire line.
  • the cigarette production must therefore be adapted to the data that may change during the manufacturing and packaging process, namely increased or reduced.
  • the quantity specification - target quantity - is 5,000 units, for example 5,000 cigarettes or packs.
  • the respective additional manufacturing requirement for units is determined on the basis of queries in the area of the manufacturing units.
  • the individual production units are shown schematically as rectangles. On the left side of the individual production units 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, a bar symbol for additional requests 39 for material is shown. On the opposite side, the faulty production is shown symbolically on the basis of horizontal stripes, specifically the actual faulty production in a solid line, which is composed of the expected faulty production 40 (dashed line) and the unexpected faulty production 41.
  • the film wrapping machine 12 has a total faulty production of 60 units. This is offset by an assumed incorrect production of 40 out of 140 units. Since the preceding manufacturing unit, namely the packer 11, is loaded after the actual faulty productions, the packer 11 has to deliver a quantity of 5,260 units.
  • the maker 10 is burdened by the subsequent production units with a production of 5,650 units. It is believed that an expected misproduction is 40 out of 200 units. But there are also 230 units of unexpected incorrect production 41. This means that the production of cigarettes amounts to a total of 6,080 units in order to take into account the performance of the maker 10 and that of all subsequent production units, so that the quantity specification of 5,000 is reached in the end.
  • the Maker 10 Due to the preloads from the subsequent production units, the Maker 10 must be supplied with material, namely tobacco and cigarette paper as well as filter paper for 480 units during the manufacturing process.
  • FIG. 4 The block diagrams according to FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show the processes during production for determining the demand values and for ending the manufacturing process.
  • FIG 4 shows an overview of the production process, the functions or measures being shown in individual fields.
  • the mark to be produced is entered into the central computer 35 at the start of batch production and the quantity specification, that is to say the need to be produced, including a low safety margin. Then the production program begins.
  • the (initial) amount of packaging and other material for each manufacturing unit must be provided for production.
  • the stored, average or expected incorrect productions for each production unit or each unit are called up in field 43 in the central computer.
  • the amount of material, in particular the amount of packaging material can be calculated in accordance with field 44. Corresponding information is transmitted to the storage PC 36 and the material is made available to the individual production units accordingly.
  • This calculation cycle is repeated several times or continuously during the production of the batch, for all production units of this line.
  • the changes that have been made are taken into account in relation to the requirements and assumptions.
  • This requires that the production units are monitored by sensors and other monitoring devices with regard to the production process and above all with regard to the fully or partially finished products in the line.
  • sensors and sensing elements in the production units and in the memories which detect the respective fill level and deliver corresponding data to the central computer 35.
  • the present result is determined again after each calculation cycle by querying and calculating.
  • the number of packs in the manufacturing process is first determined by querying. Furthermore, the amount of cigarettes stored in the cigarette store 16 and the amount of packs in the pack store 22 are recognized. Finally, the packs that have left the cartoner 14 and are filled into the shipping carton 20 as “good packs” are also recorded.
  • the calculated total production is compared with the target quantity in accordance with field 47. If the total production has not (yet) reached the target quantity, the requirement calculation is repeated for the individual production units, specifically in accordance with the method shown in FIG. 5. If, on the other hand, the quantity specification has been reached or exceeded, the shutdown of the production line is initiated in accordance with the steps shown in FIG. 6.
  • 5 shows the calculation sequence for determining the material requirement, in particular packaging material for the individual production units.
  • field 47 machine-specific data are queried, namely the production output of maker 10, packer 11, film wrapping machine 12, bar packer 13 and cartoner 14. Furthermore, the incorrect productions of the aforementioned production units are ascertained, namely the actual incorrect production from the known (assumed) incorrect production and the unexpected wrong production. From this data according to field 47, the consumption of material or packaging material for the individual manufacturing units is calculated according to field 48. According to field 49, a comparative calculation is then made, namely the actual consumption of material or packaging material in relation to the "good packs" in the area of the cartoner 14, the average consumption of material of the production unit concerned (with the expected faulty productions) also the good packs in Area of the cartoner 14 contrasted.
  • the first comparison number is greater than the second, a further calculation is made in accordance with field 50, namely for packaging or other material of the production unit concerned to be requested.
  • field 50 namely for packaging or other material of the production unit concerned to be requested.
  • the faulty productions of the machine in question for example the maker 10, and the subsequent production units 11, 12, 13, 14 are added and the material to be reordered for the production unit in question is determined therefrom. Appropriate information is given to the warehouse. This calculation is carried out successively for all production units in the line.
  • the Maker 10 is shut down. This means that the supply of the material - tobacco, cigarette paper and filter paper - is interrupted and the maker 10 is "emptied” with regard to production and is finally switched off.
  • the cigarette store 16 arranged downstream of the maker is emptied while maintaining the working speed of the subsequent production units.
  • the fill level of the cigarette store 16 is continuously queried.
  • the "empty run" operating state is initiated for the subsequent packer 11. If the packer 11 is empty due to a corresponding query, this production unit is switched off.
  • the pack store 22 is driven empty at full operating speed. The fill level is also monitored here. If the pack store 22 has run empty, the operating state "run empty" is initiated for the subsequent film wrapping machine 12.
  • the filling status of the film wrapping machine 12 is then queried. If this production unit is empty, the shutdown takes place. At the same time, the bar packer 13 is switched to the "empty run" operating state. If a query shows that the cartoner 14 has run empty, the end of production is given. All production units are switched off. Remnants of packaging material are automatically removed. This is checked by a query. A completion message is sent to the central computer 35, which indicates the end of production.
  • the predetermined target quantity can be determined in different ways, in particular also by the consumption of certain material. In particular, it may be necessary to completely consume pack blanks of certain equipment and / or tax stamps and to place the target quantity to be produced thereon.
  • FIG. 7 a special feature results from FIG. 7, namely from the representation on a screen connected to the central computer 35, for example the laptop 38.
  • the display provides information about the inventory and type or possible use of the material of a production unit, namely the packer 11
  • the information relates to the upcoming change of product type, for example to a brand change.
  • the packaging materials processed in the packer 11 are specified, namely blanks, film web (for the inner wrapping of the cigarette group) and material webs for the production of collar blanks.
  • the screen shows that the "Cuts" and "Inner Wrapping" products are not suitable for the next brand. When the production and packaging system is switched off, these two packaging materials must be replaced. In contrast, the material for the Collars can also be used for the next execution of the packs.
  • the material is always made available to the production units in complete, but smallest possible units, for example by pallets with a predetermined amount of packaging material.
