Cost savings achieved by replacing older Demig controllers with current models and updating the Prosys process control system to the latest version. A digital tool that documents all process data on a batch-by-batch basis, automatically and in compliance with standards, and makes it available for retrieval at any time. Thanks to Prosys and the internal storage of all controller settings and data, the replacement of the old controllers was able to proceed without significant downtime.
“Of course it was an investment,” says Uwe Clausen. “We spent some money.” But the results speak for themselves: The new controllers are much easier to use and faster than the previous, aging devices. That alone saves time and increases operational reliability. Combined with the more comprehensive, automated documentation in Prosys—which meets the strict legal requirements for documentation in food production—Wingert Foods saves a lot of time in its production processes. That, in turn, saves energy and money: “We can now run one more batch per shift,” says Uwe Clausen happily. That’s a significant savings!
