Client Background

A part of globally acclaimed group of companies, Client is a leading manufacturer of Hi-tech Blister Packing and Carton Packing Machines. It offers end-to-end solutions in blister packing machines, cartoning machines, and end-of-lines packaging.

Design Process Analysis

Every machine manufactured by the client has some standard parts and some change parts which changes as per customer requirements. Earlier, the change parts for Punching, Embossing & Perforation Operation were designed and drafted manually. The Bill of Materials (BOM) was also created manually. To increase the productivity of Design Team and also to capture person-dependent design knowledge the client was looking for a system which will create all the drawings and BOM automatically.

Our Solution

PARAM developed a knowledge-based system for the client which captures all details of the Blister drawing and produce change part drawings and BOM automatically. The system takes inputs from BF drawing. A standard template is provided to create BF drawings so that some relevant information can be extracted automatically from the BF drawing. A database stores BF drawing numbers with relevant parameters. The database application was provided for quick access of the drawings.
