Abstract

Global Medipro Investama LLC previously used a CNC liquid filling machine to fill the Metracide 1 liter variant product into bottles. This machine very often produces output that was not accordance with the company's specifications. Based on data from 3 production batches, the average yield rate score obtained was 51.96%. The low-yield rate score indicates that the production process is ineffective and inefficient because of the unstable filling process. This research aims to design and manufacture an automatic filling machine with four nozzles and use PLC as its controller so that the production process becomes more ef-fective and efficient by increasing the rated yield and quantity of output and speeding up the cycle time by eliminating the manual weighing process using loadcell and weighing indicator. Based on data from 3 batches of production using the new machine, the average yield rate score obtained was 98.51%, which increased by 46.3%, significantly more than the old machine of 51.96%. The machine also managed to speed up the production cycle time at the filling station. To produce 495 bottles only takes 33 minutes, making the production process 75.49% faster than the old machine of 134 minutes. The increase in output yield and quantity, and the reduction in cycle time show that the production process has become more efficient and effective.
