Standards drive manufacturing

“We’re convinced that OMAC comes with a payback.” Succinct and to the point, this comment by R&D equipment engineering manager Paul Redwood of Church & Dwight echoes the sentiments being expressed these days by engineering leaders and executives at a number of major Consumer Packaged Goods companies.

Succinct and to the point, this comment by R&D equipment engineering manager Paul Redwood of Church & Dwight echoes the sentiments being expressed these days by engineering leaders and executives at a number of major Consumer Packaged Goods companies. Redwood, who has 25 years of experience in the CPG arena, will expand on his ideas about how valuable standards can be in his May 23 presentation in Chicago at The Automation Conference. Other automation and controls observations from Redwood include these:

• Servos are the way forward, yes, but in expanding their use you have to know your business, know the plants, know the processes involved. Wherever you introduce new technology, it helps to assume the role of an advance scout. Be incremental about it. Turn the heat up gradually and let people in the plants get used to it. Even if your goal is to implement servos everywhere, you can’t do it all at once.
