Rockwell Automation Solutions Improve Spice Company’s Production Capabilities
When a major spice producer decided it was time to convert key manual processes to automation in order to improve efficiency, E Tech Group leveraged Rockwell Automation solutions that supported increased throughput and cost reductions.
The Project: Design a Custom Automation System for a Spice Supplier
A supplier of culinary spices needed to automate their receiving and washing areas to improve efficiency and visibility. The existing manual approach caused bottlenecks and hindered production potential, making automation crucial for optimizing processes, streamlining workflows and gaining the ability to scale.
The Solution: Utilize Rockwell Automation Technology for Seamless Transition
E Tech Group used a range of Rockwell Automation hardware and technologies to align with the customer’s objectives, resulting in a more streamlined and responsive control system. They also upgraded the hot wash hardware using a suite of Rockwell Automation components, improving efficiency, reliability, and safety. Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000 v33 and Factory Talk View Studio Machine Edition provided a user-friendly control system interface for the spice supplier.
The Results: A Cost-Effective Automation Solution with Real-Time ROI
Our automation and engineering firm provided dedicated support to the project, which resulted in increased throughput and reduced production costs. The expected return on investment will materialize in three years, showcasing the cost-effectiveness of the Rockwell-based automation solution. This transformation optimized operations and paved the way for future improvements, highlighting the effectiveness of our collaboration and Rockwell Automation’s process control solutions.
