体系结构
HP罩(罩), 一家领先的乳制品公司, 在巴达维亚收购了一家酸奶加工厂, 纽约, 扩大其在该地区的生产能力. While the plant location was ideal, Hood was not in need of additional yogurt manufacturing. Instead, it needed a new facility for processing and packaging fluid milk products. 澳门足彩app was the perfect partner to make the brownfield conversion because our team designed and built the plant for its first owners.
在工厂最初的设计中, 澳门足彩app的工程师 utilized best-in-class standards and materials for a dairy facility. 除了, the plant layout was made to accommodate future expansion and included utility systems capable of handling significantly larger loads than the original facility required. 随后, Hood and 澳门足彩app evaluated the utilities and were able to accommodate the fluid dairy requirements with minimal utility additions.
最初, our process 工程 team spent several months evaluating and testing various control system software products to ensure they would provide Hood with the most flexible, 具有成本效益和可靠的过程控制系统. This initial research enabled 澳门足彩app to save the client money by retaining some of the good control system software features and products from the original plant, while also improving efficiency by removing the pieces that had previously caused significant reliability and maintenance issues.
一旦所有的设备都被选中, the PLC code for the plant was rewritten from scratch to support a new, 现代系统概念. These technical advancements on the process side of the project helped provide Hood with the best value for its investment by minimizing system downtime, increasing production efficiencies and maintaining the high level of product and operator safety mandated within the dairy industry.
Laser scans were conducted via PointCloud survey to map the existing packaging equipment within the plant, which enabled 澳门足彩app的工程师 to determine which pieces from the original facility could still be utilized and what new equipment needed to be added. Our 系统分析 team then created simulation and emulation models of what the new system in Batavia would look like. Having a digital twin of the completed packaging line prior to the completion of construction enabled Hood and 澳门足彩app to troubleshoot any issues on the packaging line ahead of time, minimizing time and money spent during startup and commissioning.
在这个项目结束的时候, 澳门足彩app提供了一个新的, technologically advanced plant within the shell of an older facility. 尽管遇到了一些挑战, 包括纽约州北部严酷的冬季天气, 澳门足彩app的工程师, designers and facility experts successfully fulfilled our client’s objectives.
