Abstract
Productivity increase can be achieved by reducing the standard time that is used in a production process, especially due to human movement and by using an automation system. In this paper, changing the design and development of a semi-automation of Brother Hitap BT-61, a taping machine to become full-automation is presented by implementing the PLC and Electro Pneumatic system onto the mechanical system of feeding, taping, and pick up process. This research can contribute higher value added output, such as increase of productivity from 95.66% to 97.09%, reducing defects of sample products chassis RH that is used for revolving lights fabrication from 0.65% to 0.01%. Also, the system can avoid on-site working accident during machine operation. Based on the calculation of cost saving, the return of investment period of this research project is 8.5 months.
