First time posting to PLCtalk so be gentle with me. We just got done working on shortening a Mobile Spreader and the company has asked us to look into optimizing their facility. It is all Allen Bradley/Rockwell kit and the control system/machine is starting to get to the point where it needs to be updated. Because they have operated on a break fix mentality with minimal maintenance the machine faults a lot. I am a relatively inexperienced recent graduate so am looking for any suggestions no matter how simple/silly on how to improve their controls. This could be from common industry practices to technical solutions. Basically I’m looking for any help I can get to better understand PLC’s and how to make them function better. Thank you in advance
Edit: the sort of thing I’m looking for is switching to using AOI’s or having links to schematics on the HMI. I don’t mind if something you are thinking seems basic and everyone would have thought about it I would still like to hear it!
