Case Study: Filling Equipment Company, Inc. improves machine reliability and speeds production with Eaton's integrated control solution

Advancing Efficiency, Reliability And Productivity For The Perfect Pour

Filling Equipment Company, Inc., a manufacturer of custom packaging machinery, faced a critical challenge when its multi-vendor control system components, specifically programmable logic controllers (PLCs), began failing. These malfunctions led to costly maintenance fees and manufacturing delays for their customers, threatening productivity. The company needed a new, more reliable control solution that would provide a longer service life and integrate seamlessly into its equipment.

Eaton provided a turnkey solution by designing and implementing an integrated control system featuring its PLCs, HMIs, variable frequency drives, and other components. This new system provided Filling Equipment Co.'s customers with remote access to performance data for proactive maintenance, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime. For the manufacturer, the Eaton solution simplified its assembly process by requiring fewer machine cutouts, which reduced costs and accelerated build times. As a result, Filling Equipment Co. gained a single source for support and was able to build more reliable equipment faster.
