Rockwell Automation, Inc. has announced that Probiotical S.p.A. is using the ThingWorx IIoT solution, part of the FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, powered by PTC, as the foundation for its digital transformation. Leading Italian probiotics company boosts time to market, throughput, efficiency, and quality using Rockwell Automation’s domain experience and FactoryTalk InnovationSuite.
Driven by rising demand for its natural products and the need to increase production at its plant, the company’s digital transformation journey began in 2022. Rockwell Automation was selected to support due to its industry expertise in food supplements, medical devices, and drugs, as well as its software solutions and local system integrator support.
“As demand for its products accelerated, it recognized that digital transformation would create a strong foundation to help underpin its rapid expansion, not just for scaling its operations, but also to help ensure that time to market, efficiency, quality, and throughput were all optimized.”
Eric Chalengeas, Regional Vice President, South Region, Rockwell Automation
Probiotical S.p.A. using the ThingWorx solution connects multiple pieces of equipment, ranging from the fermenters to the packaging lines as the foundation for its digital transformation. The solution collects production data and contextualizes that with transactional information from the ERP.
Production key performance indicators (KPIs), overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and real-time and historic trends are analyzed and then used to fine-tune and manage all the daily production activities.
“We needed the right solution with the right level of support, and we needed knowledgeable companies to help us. We recognized the capabilities and value of the FactoryTalk InnovationSuite software, as well as the local system integrator support from Syscons Industries.”
Gianmaria Camanna, COO, Probiotical
