System Upgrade / Programming

Client:

A manufacturer of dry mixes and pre-mixed fillings that supplies local affiliates and franchises of national restaurant chains and other large food service customers. Strict adherence to FDA regulations as well as customer demands for consistent product and quality controls standards are vital to this customer.

Assignment – System Upgrade/Programming:

Relying on proprietary recipes and processes for the quality and consistency of its products, this client needed to upgrade programming of its production control systems to prevent accidental unauthorized alterations of its recipes during the mixing and cooking processes, and to document any key touches or authorized changes that might occur.

Odyssey Controls was able to effectively upgrade the logic of the control system to capture and timestamp any inputs. We also installed an individual RSView screen to allow supervisor level login and monitoring to address variable changes.

New HMI programming by Odyssey Controls allows operators to more effectively select the proper recipe and address issues quickly. Tuning of water flow and temperature monitors provides more consistent and reliable delivery of ingredients.

This client also maintains an annual contract with Odyssey Controls to provide blanket support of the controls system, which includes computer upgrades, programming, interfaces and troubleshooting.
