Preventing Unintended Start-ups – Enhanced Operator Protection In modern factories, tasks such as maintenance, cleaning, or machine adjustments often require operators to enter hazardous areas. An unintended machine start-up during these times could have severe consequences for workplace safety. To enhance protection within Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, Pizzato Elettrica has introduced...

In many factories, electricity costs consistently rank among the largest components of total operating expenses (OPEX). This is particularly true for systems that operate continuously—24/7—such as conveyors, fans, pumps, and packaging lines. Consequently, even a marginal improvement in motor efficiency can lead to significant annual savings on electricity costs. So,...

In industrial manufacturing environments, particularly within utility areas or main production lines, most equipment failures do not occur abruptly. Instead, they stem from subtle changes in operating conditions, such as increased vibration, abnormal temperatures, or fluctuating electrical currents. Consequently, monitoring vibration, temperature, and current has become a standard practice in...

The steel industry is considered one of the most demanding and high-risk industrial manufacturing environments. Operations involve hundreds-of-meters-long conveyor belts continuously transporting ore and steel billets, high-inertia rolling mill systems, and continuous cutting, pressing, and casting processes that operate at extreme temperatures and pressures. Furthermore, metal dust, intense vibrations, and...

Vietnam’s food and beverage (F&B) sector is experiencing robust growth driven by both domestic consumption and exports. This trend has created a need for greater automation across processes such as filling, packaging, intralogistics, and palletizing lines. In this context, drive systems play a critical role, directly influencing line speed, energy...

In modern electronics and semiconductor production lines, the task of picking up small components presents a major design challenge. Components such as IC chips, SMDs, sensors, and micro-parts are becoming increasingly smaller, lighter, and more fragile, yet production lines must continue to operate at high speeds and without interruption. This...

Project Information: Industry: Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Location: Long Thanh – Dong Nai Application: Robotic Case Packer System for Laundry Detergent Products – Increased Efficiency, Reduced Workforce II. Factory Situation: Before automation, the process of packing laundry detergent bottles into cartons at the customer’s factory had many limitations: The...

Case Study: Implementing an Automatic Box Unpacking Machine – An Optimal Packaging Solution for Businesses 1. Introduction to Automatic Box Unpacking Machines For over 17 years of partnering with manufacturing businesses, VULETECH has always been committed to providing optimal technological solutions, helping customers improve productivity, reduce costs, and modernize their...

The NG series safety switches equipped with RFID technology expand further and now include new versions with integrated buttons, for control and signaling functions. The new versions allow customers to thread wires into the buttons inside the switch, via terminal blocks with a spring-loaded PUSH-IN connection. There is no need...

Since its inception in the 1980s, machine vision has concerned itself with two things: improving the power and capabilities of technology and making it easier to use. Today, machine vision is turning to higher-resolution cameras with higher intelligence to enable new automation solutions both inside and outside the factory –...

The difference between a vision sensor and a vision system is pretty basic: Vision sensor performs simple checks like answering simple yes-no questions on the production line. Vision systems do some complex work, like helping a robotic arm weld parts together in an automated factory. The Machine Vision Sensor captures...

Increased throughput, higher quality, and lower costs are the main drivers for using automated testing in production. Manual testing as in the past can slow down the process, be error prone, and often inefficient considering product size, lighting conditions, or line speeds. Most manufacturers use automated machine vision because it...

Machine vision systems that provide 3D data, including height, width, and depth, have traditionally been expensive, complicated to install, and difficult to maintain. While these systems are factory calibrated to generate 3D data, they are difficult to program and maintain and pose eye safety concerns due to their laser light....

Once a decision has been made to use barcodes in an enterprise to improve tracking and traceability, the adoption of codes is usually done in one of two ways. Codes can be applied to a package or label by inkjet or thermal printing, or by permanently marking the code directly...

Consumer product applications have different requirements than industrial applications. Information and images on packaging play an important role in brand recognition, communication and even consumer safety. The following three vignettes show how quickly and easily the In-Sight 3D-L4000 vision system provides both 2D and 3D capabilities for consumer product applications. Check...
