“Thanks to the integrated solution and the expertise of the batch systems engineering company, the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system found its way to Gallo Glass.“
Mo Mashinchi, project manager at Gallo Glass
The implemented solution is environmentally sustainable and has given Gallo Glass the desired increase in efficiency and availability.
And thanks to system redundancy, Gallo Glass was also able to expand the capacities.
As an added bonus, the technologies were developed in such a way that it’s theoretically possible to add two more melting furnaces.
Gallo Glass, established in 1958, is a state-of-the-art highly-innovative glass manufacturer based in Modesto/California, specialized in glass packaging for the wine & spirits industry. The recent 18-month upgrade (2017/18) proved to be a complex task: In addition to a cold furnace repair, it involved expanding and integrating the cullet plant, including the belt loading station.
