Total manufacturing process control and digitalisation with Siemens PCS7 and SQL data tracking
Centralised control and extended traceability for chemical production process optimisation at Villanova D’Ardenghi
Righi implemented an advanced automation system based on Siemens PCS7, the project involved the complete digitisation of the production process, integrating the centralised control of utilities and process lines with a data traceability system on SQL database. The automation logics manage recipes, handling, mixing, temperature control, safety and storage, with a focus on efficiency and predictivity.
