1.2. Infeed Conveyor - 1 Assembly Operation
-
All types of cheese products will be fed onto the Infeed Conveyor-1 either manually or from an upstream process.
-
The Infeed Conveyor-1 is equipped with a motor-driven belt that transfers the cheese products smoothly toward the next station. The conveyor runs continuously or in coordination with downstream equipment, depending on the operational mode.
-
The conveyor indexes when the downstream system (such as robot pick station) is in a ready position to receive the product. Product flow is controlled by the conveyor drive and machine logic, ensuring that cheese products are delivered at the correct spacing and timing.

1.4.Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment or HAZOP, or a Hazard and Operability Study, is a systematic way to identify possible hazards in a work process. In this approach, the process is broken down into steps, and every variation in work parameters is considered for each step, to see what could go wrong.
1.5. Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is the process of identifying, diagnosing, and resolving problems or issues that arise in various systems, equipment, or processes. it involves a systematic approach to problem-solving, using a combination of analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills.
The first step in troubleshooting is to identify the problem. This can involve gathering information about the issue, including when it started, what systems or equipment are affected, and any error messages or symptoms that are observed. Once the problem is identified, the next step is to diagnose the root cause. This involves analyzing the information collected and using technical knowledge to determine what is causing the issue. After the root cause is identified, the next step is to develop a plan for resolving the issue.
