Selmo as the standard in automation
Learn how an Austrian beverage manufacturer integrates and implements the Selmo Standard.
Automation and process optimisation
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.

Initial situation & challenges
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.
