Australian Panel Products - Charmhaven Vertical Storage System 

Crossmuller recently installed a new integrated kitchen door production line at Australian Panel Products plant in Charmhaven NSW.
In addition to the overall mechanical design and layout, Crossmuller's Systems Integration division provided a fully integrated line control system based around Wonderware's MES for work order execution, data tracking and inventory management.
The MES is interfaced with a Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP system for download of production work orders and upload of inventory data. The system holds and tracks all relevant data relating to a door or re-usable off-cut.
This includes the following:
• Piece identification number (door or offcut)
• Piece length
• Piece width
• Piece thickness
• Batch number
• Material
• Job number
• Piece location (Inventory locations)
