The PacePro Error-Proofing and Process Pacing System
Girard, OH - Centricity Corporation combines pick-to-light parts picking technology with its servo indexer know-how to create the PacePro. This unique rotary based pick-to-light system is designed to eliminate operator travel time, sustain process pace, and error-proof kit building and parts picking.
In its standard 60” diameter footprint, the PacePro can be configured for up to 54 shelves with 24 dividers, resulting in as many as 1,296 discreet locations.
Once the system is loaded, the PacePro will rotate to present the proper column of parts to the operator. A green light indicates the correct bin to pick from and the quantity. After picking, the PacePro automatically indicates the next part to pick. Should an incorrect pick be attempted, the green light changes to red and an audible alarm sounds identifying an attempted incorrect pick. Extensive data on picked parts is stored within the PacePro and can be accessed via an Ethernet connection for analysis. Process adjustments made based on the report generator aid in optimizing the process and maximizing throughput.
In addition to increased productivity, the PacePro will reduce picking errors, minimize operator training, save floor space, provide real-time information, and make your process more competitive.
The PacePro is supplied fully assembled and ready to use. Just set it in place, adjust the leveling feet, and plug it into a standard 115V outlet. You can enter your pick list via Ethernet or simply plug in your laptop. It is that simple and there is nothing else to buy.
Centricity Corporation manufactures servo indexers, custom designed rotary tables, ID parts feeding systems, and rotary pick-to-light systems.
