Integrated automation

CEPI provides a turn-key system that includes the automation, with completely in-house hardware and software design of multiple touch panel solutions and process control software. CEPI’s touch panels can be fully customized and are developed across both Siemens and Allen Bradley platforms. They handle recipe creation and management, ingredient and hopper parametrization, synoptic overview with real time status and maintenance of utilities with manual command, loading of silos and other stations, and any other functions like washing and climatization. Other options include CEPI’s native PLC and weighing processor with LCD display, for standard operations and one-line production processes. CEPI’s native software Tracking System provides complete traceability including digitalization of all ingredient movements, lot control with barcode system and warehouse management, greatly enhancing food safety and the optimal management of related alarms. Receiving and visualizing data from the touch panels managing the production, Tracking System creates a history of storing and recipe production operations, providing production analysis with statistics of ingredient consumption, batch report with deviation analysis, stock visualization and dynamic graphics illustrating product, recipe or lot trends. CEPI’s automation system is interconnected and can exchange information with any third party in the line. Our solutions provide full horizontal and vertical integration, managing dialogue and data among our devices and those of other partners, after the dosing and before the raw ingredients management. All our data can be easily integrated with global ERP to achive organization-wide traceability.
