This document summarizes the industrial training of B.M.Hareen Madhusha Bannaheka at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Peradeniya. It describes the general training period including learning about various production lines. It also discusses the Department of Automation's objective to improve productivity through automation. Several knowledge areas were covered including PLCs, pneumatics, and PIC programming. Projects undertaken included a heat tagging mechanism and a semi-automated bra wing elastic attaching mechanism. Ongoing projects and people in the Slimline department are also mentioned.

Review

2.  General Training period
*MOS (MAS Operation System)
*Waste walk
*Recruitment process
*Production lines (Slimline/Slenderline/Flowflex)
 Department of Autonomation
*Objective.
Deskilling empowered by automation to improve the
productivity
* Basic Functions.
Identify processes that can be automated.
Software solutions.
Improvements of processes.
Design and implement new machines.

3.  Knowledge gathered
*Pneumatics
*PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
*Solenoid valve
*Solenoid cylinder
*PIC Programming
 What we Did ???

1) Heat tagging mechanism for bra wing
2) Wireless data transmitting system for notice
boards and lines
3) Price tagging attaching system
4) Fabric guiding mechanism
Among these mechanisms we have selected one project to do during the
training period.
 “Semi-automated bra wing elastics attaching mechanism”.
BUT we helped others work and projects as well.

4.  Undergoing projects
*Hanger sticker pasting
*Around cup tape attaching
*Polybag sticker pasting
*Heat tagging
*In-house molding machine
*Around cup tape attaching –PU cup
*Bra wire inserting mechanism
*tagging operation mechanism

5.  Semi-automated bra wing
elastic attaching mechanism

6.  Output of the mechanism

9.  Heat tagging project
 Mechanical design : Kosala (Dept of Autonomation)

10. *
Complete wiring of the
machine.
Electronic circuit design.
Programming of the
machine.(PIC microcontroller
used)
 Heat tagging project
*
Extended to double user
Two paddle switches were
added for two users
Every soldering iron can be
switched on and off manually

11. *
 Heat tagging project

12.  People in Slimline
Mr.Chanminda Pushpakumara – Dept of Autonomation
Mrs.Ruwanthi Galkissa –HR dept
*
*We were with Autonomation
department staff
*Helpful and Kind
*Gained lots of experience and
knowledge
