Process engineering plant

Selmo as the standard in automation

Learn how an Austrian beverage manufacturer integrates and implements the Selmo Standard.

 

The project involves the automation of a juice blending and filling plant, which is intended to function on a small scale like the large-scale series production plant, to optimize process engineering sequences or to develop new recipes. The modeling of the process was completed in two weeks with the support of the Selmo team.

Project juice blending and filling plant

 

Project procedure:
 Preparation of the requirement specifications with the process in focus.
 Specification of the mechanical and electrical assemblies.
 Modeling of the process in the Selmo Studio.
 Development of a virtual model for visualization
 Testing and commissioning of the virtual model
 Building the actual plant according to the specifications of the tested process model.
 
 

Automation is performed to monitor and document the production parameters. Before the actual machine is rebuilt, the process flow is tested using a digital twin and checked for correct operation.

The defined process enables the beverage producer to mix and homogenize different juices and liquids. Furthermore, creating different flavors or blends of ingredients with the same equipment is possible. The juice blending equipment can also be used to change or improve liquids' consistency or adjust liquids to specific temperature and pressure conditions.

The Success

By adopting the Selmo standard, the beverage manufacturer can create different flavors or blends of ingredients using the same equipment.

With the help of the Selmo Studio, machine control systems become easily understandable for non-PLC programmers and can be created by the user. Initially building on simple examples, complex problem-solving for specific use cases in automation is provided. Suggestions for improvements are welcomed with an open mind to obtain tailor-made solutions. The standardization of step chain programming enables a flexible and safe design of a process plant (as a digital twin).
