A Procedure For The Selective Management Of The Alarms Of An Automatic Machine For Manufacturing Or Packing Consumer Articles
Patent No. EP4107080 (titled "A Procedure For The Selective Management Of The Alarms Of An Automatic Machine For Manufacturing Or Packing Consumer Articles") was filed by GD on Feb 19, 2021. The application was issued on Apr 9, 2025.
Patent Summary
Selective management of machine alarms in automatic manufacturing machines to minimize waste and improve production efficiency. The system identifies actuators at risk of mechanical interference during alarm events, rather than shutting down the entire machine. Instead, the affected actuators are manually prepared and repositioned before restarting the machine. This approach enables the production line to continue processing articles while minimizing the number of semi-finished products discarded due to machine stoppages.
