RPC-DF

Pearson standardizes on Allen Bradley, PanelView1000+. Our user-centric interface is built on the Rockwell platform and cannot be applied to other HMI brands.

Yes, the pallet configuration tool built into the HMI allows you to quickly create, modify, copy or clear new pattern recipes or adjust parameters such as case or pallet height, number of layers, pick/drop speeds or delays during production.

If a quick, high-level budgetary quote is all you need, we are happy to provide you with the base machine rate. However, the more information you provide us about your particular application, the more accurately we can quote you. It also enables us to identify potential challenges and discuss how we can overcome them. If you are interested in a detailed quote, expect our sales managers to discuss the following questions with you.

• Case dimensions (Drawings are preferred)
• Elevation of the case conveyor
• Estimated full case weight
• Case per minute rate
• Tape or glue closure
• Number of cases per layer on the pallet (pictures are preferred)
• Number of layers on the pallet (pictures are preferred)
• Type of pallet(s) being used – 4-way Wood, CHEP, Plastic, None, etc
• Base, tier, or top sheet used? If so, where and which SKU? Are all the same size
• Stretch wrapping required?
• Construction type (mild steel, stainless steel)
• Environment of room where equipment will be placed – Hot, cold, wet, temp
• Duty cycle (ie. 3 shifts per day 5 days per week)
• Inspection or labeling requirements
• Voltage requirement
• Wish list for upgrade options
• Special requirements
• Are there specifications that need to be reviewed?
• AutoCAD of area in scope (required for drawing from Pearson)

If all you need is a high-level budgetary quote, we will provide you base-level machine pricing immediately. If you are looking for a more detailed quote, we will reach out to you within 24 business hours to discuss your application and collect all the necessary information. Once we collected the information, expect a detailed quote within 2-4 business days (unless your application requires non-standard options). For a firm quote, we generally like to review a sample of your case(s)/partitions/bags. This greatly reduces the risk of missing any potential obstacles and ensures that you receive not only the most accurate quote but also a high-performing machine. If your request requires a specifications response, please allow 7-10 working days for a quote turnaround.

Case samples allow us to help you avoid unforeseen challenges, determine the need for special options or recommend a different machine model better suited for your application. In nearly 65% of all projects, case sample reviews prevent costly mistakes, inferior performance and extended lead times. Here is a small sample of unwanted problems case reviews uncovered and averted:

• Samples did not match drawings, which drove a change to the proposal
• Unidentified shied flaps
• Case hand was not identified on drawings or different
• Product fit too tight or too loose into the case
• The case’s manufacturer’s joint location or style interfered with the product being loaded
• Corrugate quality issues interfering with proper machine performance
• Bag thickness/construction/size did not match the requirements
• Flap folding sequences/glue patterns requiring special attention
• Head space in cases requiring special options or over pack interfering with proper sealing

Although we’d like to review case samples before we provide a firm quote, we understand that this is not always possible. In that case, we will provide a quote based on the information and drawings you provided.

The MaaS program is an exciting opportunity to automate even when CapEx is unavailable. Far superior to traditional leasing models, MaaS aligns operational costs with production output. Learn more here
