BIB (Boil In Bag) Line Controls Retrofit

Fully automated controls retrofit of an entire BIB Line. The project included complete line reorganization and integration of new and existing equipment and safety controls to create a modern food production line. Key elements included pick and place servo controls, synchronization of sub systems, and creation of advanced HMI (human machine interface) work stations. There was an associated sauce kitchen (not shown) with recipe batch management and CIP (clean in place) capability which was also part of the overall project.
