When our customer needed to upgrade their aging batch processing and bulk delivery systems on site, they turned to Optima Control Solutions.
Optima were tasked with migrating the legacy control system over to a modern integrated batch control solution with no disruption to production
APPROACH
A Rockwell Automation solution was installed, which included
- ControlLogix PLC upgrades in each mixer / bulk system
- Redundant Server running FactoryTalk ® Batch
- EtherNet/IP device-level ring network topology
RESULTS
- Reduced obsolescence risk and downtime
- Site-wide familiarity of operator interfaces for each process
- Ability to develop recipes away from the factory floor or off-site for ease of deployment and remote support for timely intervention in the event of any equipment malfunction
- Reduced batching errors caused by operators
Becuase the system runs from a central batch server, the customer has the ability to develop recipes away from the factory floor or off-site for ease of deployment,. This reduces batching errors that may be caused by operators
