Case Study | Landguth Heimtiernahrung | Manufacturing

Landguth Heimtiernahrung, a wet pet food producer, needed a better way of monitoring their autoclaves.

Challenge

Landguth Heimtiernahrung, a wet pet food producer, was in need of a better way of monitoring their autoclaves. Their old system had approximately 70 autoclave control systems separated from one another: that meant configuration of those systems needed to be done individually, and they had no centralized information of their processes.

Solution

Landguth had already been using a Rohrbach Elektrotechnik autoclave control system developed with FactoryStudio for more than 3 years, running as a test autoclave. The new, innovative and robust control concept, the convenience and performance of the process visualization program and the possibility to manage all autoclaves via one central control system showed the kind of improvement they were looking to achieve.

Results

• Reduced risk and error: Automatic checks reduce the number of possible operating errors and the time required to manage the autoclaves compared to the old control system.
• Less downtime: During ongoing production, changes can be made to cooking programs, recipes, or to user administration.
• Availability: All data is immediately available and significantly contributes to the monitoring and optimization of production processes.
