Although harmonizing the process control systems in the batch house and
melting end isn’t widespread yet in the glass industry, it offers significant
benefits by making operation, maintenance, and updates more uniform, easier,
and more efficient.
Standardized operation means the batch house can now be operated from all the
client systems distributed around the plant. For many employees, that
represents a saving of both distance and time in many operating sequences.
In addition, the standardized system now makes it easier for the Siemens
Solution Partner SPS to perform upcoming maintenance and updates, which also
reduces the costs for everyone else involved.
