Leading Italian probiotics company boosts time to market,
throughput, efficiency, and quality using Rockwell Automation's
domain experience and FactoryTalk InnovationSuite
MILAN, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell
Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated
to industrial automation and digital transformation, today
announced that Probiotical S.p.A., a leading Italian probiotics
research and manufacturing company, is using the ThingWorx IIoT
solution, part of the FactoryTalk® InnovationSuite, powered by PTC,
as the foundation for its digital transformation.
Driven by rising demand for its natural products and the need to
increase the 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.
"Probiotical needed to move quickly," said Eric Chalengeas,
regional vice president, south region, Rockwell Automation. "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."
The ThingWorx solution connects multiple pieces of equipment,
ranging from the fermenters to the packaging lines. 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," said Gianmaria
Camanna, COO at Probiotical. "We recognized the capabilities and
value of the FactoryTalk® InnovationSuite software, as well as the
local system integrator support from Syscons Industries."
Pierpaolo Russo, smart
manufacturing lead at Syscons Industries, which delivered the IIoT
platform for Probiotical, said partnering was critical to the
success of the project.
"It was fundamental for Probiotical to start managing all
its production data properly and in a timely manner," Russo said.
"They needed to have better visibility into each step of their
process."
