Problem:
A large Midwest milk bottling/packaging facility receives milk in bulk. The milk is processed through a homogenization and a UHT pasteurization process before moving to the filler stations.
Solution:
All equipment is in a sanitized environment where only NEMA 4X LED Displays are allowed. The Displays were integrated into the system to indicate line speed, batch status, UHT temperatures, flow rates and level.
Data Source:
Data is generated from a Honeywell DCS system that monitors all process variables and provides communications via RS485 to each display.
ROI:
Savings were calculated based on reduced down time, better control of actual UHT temperature, and greater visibility of process conditions. Based on an initial investment of $15,000, the payback for the display was less than 10 weeks.
