Definitions
- the present invention relates to a container treatment system and a container treatment method for treating containers.
- Container treatment systems are used for the industrial manufacture of containers and/or for filling a product into containers and/or for labeling containers and/or for packaging containers.
- Containers are in particular cans, glass bottles, paper bottles, plastic bottles or the like.
- the product is, for example, a beverage, a cleaning agent, a cosmetic product, a piece of goods, etc.
- the container treatment system can be, for example, a molding device, a cleaning device, a filling device, a sealing device, an inspection device, a transport device, a furnishing device, a packaging device, etc. or include.
- a container treatment plant In such a container treatment plant, at least two of the devices mentioned are often arranged one after the other, so that the containers are forwarded from device to device for treatment.
- the containers In the individual devices, the containers are usually supplied to the respective treatment in a row in which the containers are arranged one after the other.
- a treatment of a container is, for example, filling it with the product or labeling it with a label.
- a container treatment system can achieve a throughput in the 5-digit range range per hour, particularly up to about 96,000 containers per hour or more. Errors in the treatment of the containers therefore usually lead to undesirable and often lengthy plant downtimes.
- buffer storage tanks are usually provided between the individual devices.
- a buffer store several containers are transported and/or temporarily stored next to each other and one after the other, e.g. in mass transport.
- the time can be used to refill material, such as labels, product to be filled, cleaning agent, etc., that is required for production in the system in the respective devices.
- the container treatment systems usually require a large amount of space. Sometimes individual devices of the container treatment plant are set up in more than one room. At least in such cases, the entire container treatment system is not completely visible to the operating personnel. As a result, operating personnel who have undergone extensive training cannot always foresee in good time or correctly which activities are to be carried out next and when.
- a container treatment system and a container treatment method for treating containers with which the aforementioned problems can be solved.
- a container treatment system and a container treatment method for treating containers are to be provided, with which the operation of the container treatment system can be implemented cost-effectively and with a low probability of system downtimes.
- This object is achieved by a container treatment system for treating containers according to the independent device claim.
- the container treatment plant has at least two container treatment devices for treating a container by at least one of the following types of treatment, namely transporting, buffering, sorting, distributing, unpacking, unlabelling, unscrewing, drying, grouping, inspecting, heating, forming, outfitting, coating, sterilizing, filling, Closing, cleaning, packaging, palletizing, depalletizing, a detection device for detecting at least one operating state of the at least two container treatment devices, and an evaluation device designed to evaluate the detection result of the detection device in relation to the type of operating condition detected.
- a container treatment device can treat containers, for example, in two or three ways, in particular simultaneously, e.g. transporting with a labeling carousel while the container is being equipped or shaped with liquid product, i.e. shaping during filling.
- the at least two container treatment devices can be at a distance from one another, preferably at least one meter, more preferably at least 5 m, even more preferably at least 20 m.
- the two container treatment devices can be arranged in the same plant area.
- a plant area can, for example, be divided into a wet part (where the filler is located, among other things) or a dry part (where a packaging machine for packing filled containers into secondary packaging or a palletizer or a perfect pack making machine is located) or a return part (for sorting/unpacking and possibly . Cleaning returned empties) or a warehouse (for storing loaded pallets).
- the two container treatment devices can alternatively be arranged in different plant areas.
- Plant areas can be separated from each other by walls (except passage openings for containers / container conveyors / people).
- One of the two container treatment devices preferably performs a type of treatment of the containers that the other does not perform.
- both container treatment devices each carry out a type of treatment with the containers that the other does not carry out.
- the operating states of at least two devices of the container treatment system can be determined very reliably and in little time.
- measures can be determined more quickly and/or better that are to be initiated for the correct reaction to the operating state detected in each case or are to be carried out one after the other in a predetermined sequence.
- Robots and/or refill units can then automatically carry out the activity to be carried out, such as refilling material etc. or changing sets of the devices.
- the container treatment plant is thus designed in such a way that the number and/or duration of undesired plant downtimes can be minimized.
- the container treatment plant can minimize rejects. All this contributes to an optimized and ultimately very cost-effective use of resources.
- the evaluation device may be designed to evaluate which at least one activity is to be performed on at least one of the at least two container treatment devices as a result of the at least one operating state detected by the detection device.
- the evaluation device is designed to determine at least one indication of the at least one activity to be performed on the at least one container treatment device on the basis of the detected operating state and in particular to an operator and/or a refill unit of the at least one container treatment device and/or to a device output for storing the at least one piece of information for use in the future operation of the container treatment system.
- the evaluation device is designed to evaluate which shortest route an operator has to travel to carry out the evaluated at least one activity, the evaluation device being designed in particular to output the evaluated shortest route for the operator.
- the evaluation device can be designed to determine the shortest route in relation to the container treatment system and/or the entire premises of a company in which the container treatment system is installed.
- the evaluation device is designed to evaluate which material is to be reordered as a result of the at least one operating state detected by the detection device on at least one of the at least two container treatment devices.
- the evaluation device can be designed to output information about the material to be reordered to a display device for display.
- the type of operating state detected includes the type of error that occurs in the container treatment device.
- the type of error can include whether the error endangers the safety of an operator of the at least one container treatment device and/or how quickly the error can be rectified in order not to endanger the safety of the at least one container treatment device or the operator of the at least one container treatment device, wherein the evaluation device is designed in particular to evaluate the order in which activities are to be carried out or blocked as a result of the at least one operating state detected by the detection device on at least one of the at least two container treatment devices.
- the detection device can have at least one camera, which is arranged at a distance of at least 1 m, preferably at least 3 m, above (in the vertical direction further away from the center of the earth) the at least two container treatment devices of the container treatment plant, if possible the entire container treatment plant.
- the detection device is arranged in a range between 1 m and 20 m, preferably between 3 m and 15 m, more preferably between 4 m and 10 m, above a floor on which one of the two container treatment devices stands.
- the detection device can be designed to receive an optical signal (eg light) from the two container treatment devices.
- the optical signal includes the operating status.
- it can be the case that an optical signal is deflected via at least one mirror and reaches the detection device.
- a mirror can be arranged for deflecting optical signals at a level between the treatment device and the detection device.
- the detection device can have the evaluation device.
- the container treatment system has a control device which is designed to control the at least one container treatment device and which has at least part of the evaluation device.
- the detection device has at least one mirror which is arranged to direct an optical signal from the container treatment system to the detection device.
- the evaluation device can be configured to use data from a device for evaluating the detection result of the at least one detection device, which stores at least one indication that was determined and output during the previous operation of the container treatment system.

- FIG. 3 shows the display 8A of FIG. 2 in an enlarged view.
- the display 8A can show an indication 8B of the fill level of the magazine 10, an indication 8B of the fill level of the tank 31 for the rinsing liquid 32 of the rinsing device 30, an indication 8B of the fill level of the tank 41 for the product 42 that is poured from the filling device 40 into the containers 2 is to be filled, an indication 8B regarding the filling level of the magazine 51 for container closures 52 of the closing device 50, an indication 8B regarding the filling level of a magazine for labels 92 of the unit 95 of the equipment device 90, an indication 8B regarding the filling level of a magazine for labels 92 and/or Print color of the unit 96 of the equipment device 90 and/or an indication 8B of the filling level of the magazine/tank 111 for film 112 or adhesive of the packaging device 110.

- the display 8A indicates what kind of work and where in the plant 1 is to be performed in the near future. In the near future means that the particular activity is to be carried out next.
- the display 8A can prioritize the activities so that it can be seen which activities are to be carried out particularly urgently, in particular first.
- the operator 7 can therefore use the display 8A to take the right measures in good time so that the operation of the container treatment system 1 does not have to be interrupted, but can continue as intended.
- At least one of the tanks 31, 41, 61 or magazine 51 etc. can be provided with a glass pane, in particular with a calibration, so that the associated device 4, 5 can measure the fill level of the tank 31, 41, 61 or magazine 51 etc. can capture directly.
- the at least one evaluation device 4A, 5A can output a signal to magazine 10 and/or unit 95 and/or magazine 111, so that magazine 10 and/or unit 95 and/or magazine 111 sends the required Material fills up automatically.
- the detection device 5 can also forward the detection result to a database.
- the database can reflect the inventory of a warehouse.
- the detection result can thus be used to automatically process materials such as labels 92, printing ink, foil 112, rinsing liquid 32, Product 42, Lubricant 61, etc. to be reordered when the level in the corresponding magazine or tank is getting low.
- FIG. 4 shows another example of a display 8A on the display device 8 of FIG. 2.
- the operator 7 is also shown where the operator 7 is located in the system 1.
- the display 8A can additionally or alternatively show where a mobile robot 7A that may be present is located in the system 1 .
- the robot 7A can be used in particular for changing device elements when the system 1 is to be switched over from the production of a first predetermined type of container to a second predetermined type of container.
- the first predetermined type of container is, for example, a glass bottle 2 with a capacity for 200 ml of cola.
- the second predetermined type of container is, for example, a glass bottle 2 with a capacity for 500 ml of lemonade.
- the at least one evaluation device 4A, 5A can output a signal to the robot 7A, so that the robot 7A fills up the magazine 10 and/or the unit 95 and/or the magazine 111 as required.
- the operator 7 is shown with information 8C which path the operator 7 and, if necessary, a robot in the system 1 should cover in order to be able to carry out the pending activities particularly efficiently and/or according to their urgency.
- the display of the route cannot only contain a room in which the system 1 is installed. If required, a display for more than one room, in particular for the entire company premises, is possible. For example, bearings can also be displayed.
- the notes 8C are also read by the at least one detection device 4, 5, in particular the evaluation device(s) 4A, 5A, from at least one Capture result created.
- the at least one detection device 4, 5 can also use detection data from at least one position sensor.
- the at least one detection device 4, 5 outputs signals to the display device 8 of FIG. 2 in order to display the indications 8C, as shown in FIG. 4 as an example.
- the operator 7 is therefore better supported with the aid of the display 8A of FIG. 4 in order to be able to take the correct measures in good time so that the operation of the container treatment system 1 does not have to be interrupted but can continue as intended.
- the display 8A can take into account route optimization and/or time optimization, in particular taking into account predetermined or historical data or data about the current output of the container treatment system. For example, refilling a more distant magazine or tank may be more urgent than that of a closer magazine or tank, but it is known that refilling the nearer magazine or tank is still feasible before the more distant magazine or tank is empty, so the display shows 8A specified by a hint 8C that the nearer magazine should be filled first. In another example, it may be known that a system stop (for other reasons) is pending or is currently occurring - in this case, the activities can also be reprioritized in a way-optimized or time-optimized manner.
- FIG. 5 shows yet another example of a display 8A on the display device 8 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 5 in addition to the operating states of FIG .
- a container 2 has burst in the unit 46 of the filling device 40 so that broken pieces in the filling device 40 have to be removed.
- a container 2 has fallen over on the conveyor 63 at the outlet of the equipment device 90, causing a jam.
- the display 8A of the operator 7 shows these two error states optically with an optical identification TD1.
- the optical marking TD1 is designed differently than the optical marking TD. As a result, error states can be reliably distinguished from other operating states, such as filling states, etc.
