Encoder Alignment Success in Uganda’s Bottling Industry

Our commitment to minimising downtime and maximising productivity is at the core of every project we undertake. Recently, we were called to perform an urgent repair on a critical injection moulding machine in the bottling industry in Uganda. One of the largest bottling companies in the region was experiencing a breakdown, putting production on hold and adding pressure to resolve the issue promptly. This wasn’t just about fixing a machine; it was about getting a major industry player back on track with minimal delay.

Upon arrival, we assessed the situation and determined that an encoder alignment was needed to restore the machine’s functionality. This essential component directly affects precision in automated systems, and misalignment can lead to severe inaccuracies and, ultimately, downtime. We recognised the urgency and set to work straight away, focusing on a solution that would bring the machine back to optimal operation in record time.

The complexity of this breakdown called for both expertise and agility. After performing a motor repair and realigning the encoder, we worked in close coordination with the machine agents to recalibrate the system. This critical final step ensured that the equipment met the precise specifications required to resume high-volume bottling production.

The entire process—from the moment we landed in Uganda to the completion of repairs and recalibration—took less than 48 hours. This fast turnaround meant our client could resume production swiftly, avoiding further losses. Our team’s dedication to precision and efficiency played a crucial role in achieving this outcome, reflecting our core mission at Motion Tronic: providing industry-leading technical solutions with minimal disruption to our clients’ operations.
