Integrated Lines
Downstream Interface
Clarify inspection, transfer, cartoning and case-handoff boundaries.

What this route establishes
Define the handoff between machines
A downstream interface connects the pack leaving the primary machine with the next operation. Review discharge height and direction, pack orientation and grouping, and the start, stop and fault signals at that boundary. The scope and responsibility for each connection need to be agreed for the project.
Project inputs
Confirm these conditions before parameters become commitments
These are inputs for engineering review, not standard specifications asserted before the project is known.
- 01Discharge geometry
Exit height, direction, pack pitch and the usable transfer window from the primary machine.
Project confirmation - 02Pack presentation
Orientation, spacing, grouping and the conditions required by the next operation.
Project confirmation - 03Inspection and reject
What is inspected, where a reject goes and how a reject is confirmed without ambiguity.
Project confirmation - 04Buffer and recovery
Accumulation, stop-and-restart behavior and fault recovery between connected machines.
Project confirmation - 05Signal contract
Ready, run, fault, stop, speed reference and ownership of the interface acceptance test.
