- Supply and testing of the electrical distribution and automation panels;
- Realisation of the electrical and special systems serving:
- the refrigeration systems,
- the distribution and automatic handling systems,
- the utilities supporting the entire plant.
Challenge
The customer, operating in the food industry, needed to optimise the logistical management of frozen products within a temperature-controlled area. The aim was to implement a fully automated solution to:
- Efficiently manage dynamic bin storage in a sub-zero environment.
- Automate internal handling up to the preparation of trucks for shipment.
Ensure the continuity of the cold chain during all operational phases, minimising human intervention.
Results / Benefits achieved by the customer
- Real-time monitoring of the status of all devices within the 4.0 structure, with the ability to interact with them from the designated technical room (control room) as well as remotely. This minimizes the need for personnel, reduces machine downtime, and optimizes plant operation.
- Thanks to the traceability of stored products and integration with the shipping system, it is possible to prepare the product in advance for loading onto trucks, significantly reducing loading time and delivery to the market.
