When I worked in garland, corporate came in with they're own contractor and installed some ab 5000's to mirror specific sensors and PB's on our production lines. So that some enginneer in chicago could not only moniter our production lines running, but levels of production also.
one night I received a call from the plant engineer, who had just been called by corp. they wanted to know how a slow bulk line with a max production per shift 0f 2000 cases could be outputing 6000 cases in one shift. We went down to scope it out, they (production) had awitched to a new case design, brown box, large black square with a dark red design in the middle, we found out that the case counting sensor saw black as not there, so it counted each case 3 times. so we changed the case counter to a thru beam sensor, problem fixed but when we told the operators about it, they were very nervous knowing that someone was watching over their shoulders as it was.....lol
