Recheis

Higher productivity and state-of-the-art dosing control

The task of J. Recheis Teigwaren GmbH was to replace the existing recipe and silo data management with a modern process automation.

In order to ensure the additional requirement of a short commissioning time during ongoing production, industry-specific knowledge and detailed planning of the conversion phase were necessary.

Investment in a modern control system

Part of the order was the requirement that the new control system can be operated fully automatically and according to the latest production methods of industrial processing. To guarantee the consistency of product quality and user-friendliness, operation of the system should be as simple as possible. The entire concept was realized in close cooperation with the customer based on the powerful ESAweight 7.5 production control system and a Simatic S7 control system.

Central management of all data and permanent control

The entire existing control cabinet structure remained intact, only the aging weigh computer was replaced by Siwarex weighing components. The connection to the computer system runs via Ethernet almost in real time. All peripheral devices such as discharge systems, scales, and autonomous control units were integrated into the system via Profinet. This guarantees both central management of all data and permanent online control. Remote access via VPN allows Recheis and ESA quick access to the system. Integration with the existing ERP system for online data exchange of order and production data completes the overall functionality.

Good reasons for a collaboration with ESA

  • Improvement of product quality
  • Increase in productivity and reliability
  • Introduction of seamless traceability to comply with legal regulations
  • Integration with the existing inventory management system
  • 24/7 support with remote maintenance
  • Simplification of operation

In order to meet our high standard in the production process, we need competent and reliable partners.

With the company ESA, we have succeeded in modernizing one of the most important parts for dough processing (weighing and recipe data management). Particularly noteworthy is the excellent preparation of the project, with which ESA managed to carry out the planned commissioning without production interruption. My respect to all those involved and the hotline, which was ready to assist us at any time of day or night. I look forward to further projects and good cooperation.
