Troubleshooting problems such as line jams in packaging operations just got easier at the Brown Summit, NC, plant of Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble. Installed at the plant were two new high-speed video systems called 20/20 Hindsight. They’re used on three packaging lines in the antiperspirant and deodorant department where troubleshooting time has been cut in half, according to Kirk McDaniel, P&G’s process engineer. Previously, line jams or problems were detected through manual observation and high-speed camera systems. But the new high-speed video system is different. “20/20 Hindsight is easy to set up and provides easy manipulation and analysis of the digital data,” says McDaniel. The 20/20 Hindsight system from Monitoring Technology (Fairfax, VA) consists of a Samsung camera, Hindsight software, flat-screen monitor, keyboard, and two hard drives that sit on a cart for easy portability.
