  • FEI Foods Increases Production to Meet Worldwide Demand with Movicon.NExT™︎ Platform

    Jim Cahill
    Hello everyone. I’m Ajay Rana and recently, in an article in Food Manufacturing , I had the opportunity to talk about an interesting case study with FEI Foods, Europe’s largest producer of ready-to-eat rice and grain pouches, based in South Wales, UK. I think it has some good information for any plant. Due to demand, FEI Foods’ existing production facilities had been operating at full capacity for several years, which…

  • Food and Beverage Manufacturer Integrates Islands of Automation with Connext™︎ Platform

    Jim Cahill
    Connecting highly disparate machines that exist in separate operating entities in a manufacturing plant could save many companies substantial time and money, but pressing production schedules and the status quo of existing procedures often hold them back. A large food and beverage production facility in Italy was faced with these “islands of automation,” with 32 machines that were all essential to the process and that…

  • Choosing the Right HMI is Critical in Food Processing

    Jim Cahill
    In the food processing industry, users choose human machine interfaces (HMI) based on their potential to make operational performance improvements, which generally means the HMI needs to be easy to use. Ease of use supports increased operator efficiency and productivity. But with today’s technology advances, there’s lots more to think about. I recently got to discuss this in an article in Food Processing. Here are some…

  • Edge Control Technology Eliminates Downtime During Critical Sugar Harvest

    Jim Cahill
    Like many other industries, food and beverage companies are often “rock and a hard place” enterprises. They need technology upgrades, but have such tight margins, every proposed change must be justified with precise ROI. One such company is Raceland Sugar, a major U.S. processor of sugar cane. Sugar cane processing occurs periodically over 12 months, usually once per year. The raw material is perishable, and the harvested…

  • Increasing Efficiency in Sugar Production

    Jim Cahill
    Sugar can derive from two different plant sources: sugar beets and sugar cane. The first ones are harvested in mid to late autumn when sugar content peaks. The leafy beet tops are sliced off and the roots are lifted out of the ground with special harvesting equipment. The harvested sugar beets are trucked from the field and are likely taken to a receiving station. The extraction of sugar from sugar beets is done in…

  • Reduce Waste & Increase Efficiency in Clean-in-Place Processes

    Jim Cahill
    While the idea of adding costs to a food and beverage or pharmaceutical industry process like Clean-in-Place/Steam-in-Place (CIP/SIP) has not traditionally been an easy decision, in today’s industrial environment that has changed. With the retirement of experts, the lack of availability of workers, the increase in materials costs and narrowness of margins, the principal way for food and beverage and pharma companies to…
