New Product Line Integration
Scope & approach
Sakata (Smith's Snackfood Company) added new production equipment beside existing assets and needed the controls layer to remain consistent. Metromotion Controls delivered field device, network, PLC and SCADA integration so the line entered service with clearer interfaces and handover support.
What was delivered
- New equipment was integrated into the existing production environment with a consistent controls layer across old and new assets.
- EtherNet/IP networking, PLC changes and SCADA work were delivered as one coordinated package, keeping a consistent control layer end to end on the line.
- The upgraded line entered service with clearer control philosophies and handover support.
Scope items
- Automation networking and EtherNet/IP communications integration for new line equipment
- Development of detailed functional descriptions and control philosophies
- PLC and SCADA programming plus commissioning and handover support
