Digitising tradition with EcoStruxure™

Mulino Marino, a company steeped in tradition, needed to digitise and automate its processes using the latest technologies to:

• Improve efficiencies and increase production to keep up with growing demand while ensuring high product quality

• Simplify various processes, including recipes

• Compensate for the lack of experience and expertise in the workforce

• Boost sustainability

Apps, Analytics & Services: EcoStruxure Machine Advisor (in development)
Edge Control: Modicon M340 PAC, Harmony iPC & Edge Box, EcoStruxure Machine SCADA Expert (in development)
Connected Products: Altivar variable speed drives, Harmony HMI, Com’X data logger, Modicon MCM safety controller, MV/LV panels

Alliance system integrator partner Euro Beta has deployed a range of EcoStruxure for Food & Beverage solutions, including:

• A network of Modicon M340 PLCs with Harmony HMIs, Altivar variable speed drives, and Modicon MCM safety controllers interconnected on an Ethernet network
• The Com’X data logger so operators can access a comprehensive view of energy consumption by sector and compare it to the energy production data from photovoltaic panels to optimise energy efficiency
• The Harmony iPC and Edge Box as the hub for visibility across the entire plant

As a result of the EcoStruxure solutions implemented by Euro Beta, Mulino Marino has realised multiple benefits:

• Product traceability, which is critical for a company dedicated to certifying its production chain to guarantee organic products

• Business continuity, as any shutdown of the plant would have serious economic repercussions

• Optimised production thanks to the ability to monitor all production parameters in detail

• Future-proofed operations by ensuring its workforce has the skills and knowledge it needs
