What does process control technology actually mean?
“Controlling processes”. This tells people who we are, what we stand for and what we offer. Practically speaking, it means, for example, that we ensure,
- your favourite yoghurt continues to taste the way you want and expect it to
- your bread contains the same quantity of the same ingredients every time
- your milk stays fresh for longer, as its automated production is guaranteed in the most hygienic conditions available.
All the said products are manufactured in so-called process engineering plants. These include, for example, dairy facilities, industrial bakeries, breweries and various plants in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Our process control system controls appropriate production plant processes by operating pumps, valves and motors.
Moreover, our control system is able to collect and process plant data before transferring it to higher-order software solutions, such as an ERP system (SAP). Production orders, for instance, can be accepted and processed and the consumption and produced quantity recorded. It is also possible to automatically prepare production reports that clearly show which and how many raw materials have been allocated to each batch during a specific period. This facilitates production planning and enhances production reliability considerably, as production orders can be traced easily. Our control system is therefore not only ideal for controlling the production of products but is also great for supplying useful information about the production plant.
Plant iT and brewmaxx are the product names of our process control systems, which facilitate the automation of production plants. A basic range of functions, such as controlling valves, reading measuring point data or regulating the temperature and flow rate, are pre-programmed in the process control systems and only have to be configured for the respective plant. Parameters include, for example, relevant addresses, the monitoring period, the measuring point range and the control parameters. Furthermore, the process control systems can be used to link the programmable logic controls (PLC), which operate the pumps, valves and motors, to PCs.
These PCs provide operators with a schematic overview of the plant. Authorised members of staff can therefore see which valves, pumps and motors are currently running and which temperature and pressure ratios are available in the respective plant. A process control system can thus be used to operate the entire plant from the comfort of a control room.
The image above shows the control room at the Warsteiner brewery, which uses brewmaxx for all its processes. Should a problem occur in the plant, alarm messages are displayed in the respective process images. This allows brewery staff to quickly identify the problem at hand and to choose the most suitable approach to deal with it.
