For increased
production capacity and reduced security risks, Unilever needed a modernized reliable
and fast industrial network at its Algida ice cream plant in Veszprém, Hungary
as they struggled with too slow reaction times and unexpected failures. That
led to production losses and jeopardized business continuity. Their industrial
network in the factory was no longer designed to be stable and reliable for the
increased requirements.
Modernization of the industrial
network using:
SCALANCE XC206-2SFP, SCALANCE XC216-4C and RUGGEDCOM
RSG909 ensure communication with Unilever's OT-network and other components
SCALANCE S612 Industrial
Security Switch contributes to maximum fail-safety, protection against
cyber-attacks, secure network access, batch communication with the ERP system and
web server connectivity for clients
SIMATIC RACK IPC computers for the operation of the OS
batch servers, data storage and display
Upgraded SIMATIC PCS 7 process management system
Partners: FISS Automatika and Neomax
"We are
very satisfied with the new system, in terms of speed as well as reliability.
After the modernization, we no longer have any performance problems or
downtime.”
