Guided Changeover

Guided Changeover helps operators complete machine setups with step-by-step HMI instructions designed to improve consistency, simplify training, and reduce downtime.

Product Info

Operator using HMI controls on a packaging machine to perform a quick changeover between product configurations.Machine changeovers can create unnecessary downtime when operators rely on paper setup sheets, manual adjustments, or inconsistent processes. Guided Changeover helps standardize machine setups by guiding operators through each adjustment directly on the HMI.

Using secure RFID-based access, operators can log into the machine, select a product recipe, and follow setup instructions in the correct sequence. The system highlights required adjustment points and displays target measurements to help create more repeatable setups across shifts and production teams.

As operators move through the process, the HMI tracks completed steps and setup progress in real time. This gives production teams better visibility into changeover performance while helping reduce missed adjustments and setup inconsistencies.

Guided Changeover comes standard with every Wayne Automation machine and supports multilingual production environments with dual-language functionality.

Secure Operator Access with KeyGuard Control©

KeyGuard Control© uses RFID technology to simplify machine access and manage operator permissions. Instead of passwords, operators use RFID fobs to access machine controls based on their authorization level.
