Title: Innovations of Ronald H Schmidt
Introduction
Ronald H Schmidt is a notable inventor based in Phillips, Wisconsin. He has made significant contributions to the field of corrugation technology, holding three patents that enhance operational efficiency in manufacturing processes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Methods for schedule optimization sorting of dry end orders on a corrugator to minimize short order recovery time." This invention involves a method and a non-transient computer readable medium for sorting orders to be run on a multi-section slitter/scorer at a corrugator dry end. It includes collecting specifications of orders in current, prior, and/or subsequent paper group queues. The invention calculates run times and slit/score head recovery times for orders in the current paper group queue using these specifications. Orders that exceed recovery time are flagged as short orders. For each short order, pairs of preceding and following orders that would require recovery times less than the short order's run time are identified as potential bracketing pairs. The current paper group queue is then searched to determine if a bracketing pair can be formed, allowing for the reorganization of orders to optimize processing.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for a rules based utilization of a minimum-slit-head configuration plunge slitter." This invention provides a method and apparatus for performing an order change in a corrugator using a minimum slit head configuration. All slit heads are carried on two sides of a single tool support structure, allowing a single robot to independently reset the positions of slit heads during a running order. This prepares for subsequent order changes in the most efficient manner, utilizing order scheduling that eliminates unnecessary order changes.
