Yogurt production

System: Intellution Fix software, Modicon PLC's

Extensive software was written for handling product names and codes used for tracking through the production process to prevent product contamination. The PLC system was upgraded and additional remote I/O installed with additional operator stations. New storage tanks were added and processing routed to these tanks and then to the upgraded packaging plant. The new control system software controls the batching and processing of yogurt manufacture through to the packaging plant. This includes all the automatic cleaning (CIP) and sterilizing (SIP) processes for the plant preparation. Additional screens on the HMI system were created for control, alarming and reporting functions.
