Requirements
Requires the installation of a second P-Line HMI controller on clean side cagewash in order to effectively and efficiently operate the P-Line water bottle automation machine for producing clean bacteria-free filled water bottles for animals in he Building 35/35A vivarium.
AHCS uses a Tecniplast P-Line water bottle automation machine to process the bulk water bottles required to provide the rodents with clean and bacteria-free water. Installed in 2024, AHCS has recognized some difficulties manipulating the water bottle recapper and refiller from the clean side of cagewash, since the main controller is located on the dirty side. Installing this second controller on the clean side of cagewash will allow for efficient management and troubleshooting of the device, minimizing downtime, wasted staff time and PPE, and maximizing return on investment of the machine.
The requested clean-side HMI controller is directly tied to this animal-care function because it will allow cagewash staff to efficiently “monitor, control, manage, and troubleshoot the P-Line bottle automation machine from the clean side.” This will reduce PPE use, equipment downtime, and time spent traveling to the dirty-side controller. Effective operation of this machine is necessary to maintain efficient cagewash operations that support animal healthcare in the vivarium
