Through the automation, the dairy hopes to
increase productivity in the cheese production. At the same time, energy costs
should be kept as low as possible and a sustainable concept should be developed.
Another premise was that every employee could keep an eye on the entire
production process at any time.
The implemented overall solution comprises SIMATIC Basic and Comfort Panels, an ET 200SP, and a SINAMICS G120C. All of these components can be configured and linked to one another in the comprehensive system, the TIA Portal. One system for the integration of control, drive, and HMI.
"The
modernization paid off because our work has become much easier, we can produce
more, and the hygiene is also much better."
Simon Lushaj, employee
Efficiency through coordinated hardware and software technologies
Resource/cost savings by automating the heat regulating system and water treatment system
Easy operation of the plant due to the visualization of the process on a central device
With the completion of his new building, Erich Keller, owner of the Käserei Altendorf, has laid a cornerstone for automation in cheese production. The entire production process is to be automated – from the delivery, to mixing and pressing, all the way to maturation. For this project, Siemens was able to offer the best overall solution and was able to support Erich Keller in his new construction.
