Programming & Commissioning Support
Scope & approach
Lactalis Australia needed programming, commissioning and production support across multiple dairy sites, each with its own installed base and running production that the work had to fit around. Metromotion Controls worked across Bendigo, Echuca, Tamar Valley, Longwarry, Rowville and Lemnos, validating CIP sets step by step so cleaning sequences met hygiene requirements before lines returned to product, and carrying SCADA work in Citect consistently across the site systems. The engagement covered process upgrades, OEM installations, CIP validation and SCADA work.
What was delivered
- Programming, commissioning and support were delivered across six dairy sites under one engineering relationship.
- Step-by-step CIP set validations and Citect SCADA work supported hygiene, changeover and product introduction requirements across the sites.
- The engagement strengthened site capability across upgrades, OEM installs and live production support.
Scope items
- Commissioning and integration of OEM installations across multiple dairy sites
- Process upgrades to support new product introductions and production line changes
- Factory-wide CIP set validations to maintain hygiene and compliance standards
- Continuous improvement of existing process operations and control sequences
- SCADA implementation and conversion in Citect across site systems
- I/O testing of electrical installations and ongoing production support
