A centralized recipe management system ensures consistently high product quality across all machines. Pre-programmed recipes are available and you can create your own recipes at any time.
A central naming and labeling system for all elements in a cheese control system allows quick identification of the components. All pumps, valves and sensors are named uniformly and can be quickly identified via the visualization as well as on the component.
A record of the process steps performed allows the entire process to be tracked. A connection to the cheese ERP system enables complete synchronization of the orders.
Automated control, monitoring and optimization of entire production lines ensure consistent quality, efficiency and hygiene.
With modern robotics solutions and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), we enable gentle, hygienic and fully automated product handling.
We modernize the control systems of your existing machines and equipment to sustainably improve efficiency and ensure long-term operational reliability.
ADVATCON captures production data in real time, provides a clear visualization of processes and enables access anytime, anywhere.
Your benefits:
- Real-time monitoring
- Continuous quality control
- Predictive maintenance
- Automatic alarm notifications
This helps optimize processes, reduce downtime and ensure consistently high product quality.
