Overview

Scope & approach

La Casa del Formaggio needed a greenfield cheese manufacturing facility to support production growth. Metromotion Controls delivered the electrical and automation scope from design through commissioning, building out 3 Motor Control Centres and 21 PowerFlex525 VSDs for the plant drives and tying the process together through 30 PID loops and 16,237 Ignition tags. The scope covered MCC design, Ignition visibility, process automation, CIP controls, training and handover.

Outcomes

What was delivered

A greenfield cheese facility was delivered with full electrical and automation scope under one project team, from 3 Motor Control Centres and 21 PowerFlex525 VSDs through to the Ignition application.
Ignition visibility across 4 HMI stations, MCC design, process automation and CIP controls were aligned into one engineered package, with 30 PID loops holding the regulated process control.
Training and handover supported a controlled transition into live production.
