Electronic Design Group has announced a recent contract
with The Chicago Tribune for the rejuvenation of the Tribune’s 23 Ferag stacker
infeed assemblies (SIA).
The order comes a year after EDG upgraded the
Tribune’s 15 SCC-USA conveyors.
The SIA solution is designed to address the
reoccurring theme of obsolescence by replacing the controls and drives in the
system, Electronic Design Group says. The upgrade involves a full transplant of
the control cabinets where the PLC, drive and auxiliary components are housed.
With the addition of a touch screen at each SIA, mounted in the cabinet door,
the equipment status is always known, resulting in more uptime, according to
Electronic Design Group.
Like the Ferag conveyors, the SIAs are
networked over ethernet, along with the conveyors.
