Freelance controls recipes for paint polymers and additives in South Africa
Background
With the growing demand for local and customer-specific performance products, our client saw the need to equip itself with technologies that will enable it to meet production targets and ensure its processes are precise, efficient and cost effective. It then embarked on modernizing its manufacturing plant, contracting systems integrator NJC to develop a control system to automate its manufacturing processes. Specifically, NJC needed to design and automate six (6) reactors. NJC employed the ABB Freelance control system.
Achievements
With this upgrade, our client now has the ability to configure recipes, organize parameters and schedule control recipes. It can run multiple control recipes on different SFCs at the same time and generate a simple batch report rendered in the familiar Microsoft® Excel format.
