adi Automation,
a Company within
the adi Group, have
recently completed
an S88 compliant
Batch project for Mondelez at their DAIM factory in Sweden.
DAIM is an international brand for which demand has increased
considerably over the years.
The replacement of an ageing control system gave Mondelez an
opportunity to re-assess the benefits of delivering a standard
model approach. This will be replicated elsewhere across the
Group but is already yielding benefits at the Stockholm factory.
It will see further benefits as the merging of compliant batch
data is combined with product Track and Trace capability through
to finished product.

Driv es for process
technology applications
At the ACHEMA exhibition in Frankfurt,
Germany, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS recently
presented distributed drive concepts that meet
the typical demands of the process industry.
Variable-speed drives with IP66/IP69K ingress
protection are suitable for applications that
require regular cleaning with high-pressure
steam jets. All components are manufactured in-house: gearboxes,
smooth-surface motors, and frequency inverters. The nsd tupH anticorrosion treatment – developed by NORD and FDA-certified (Title 21 CFR
175.300) – gives the aluminum housings a smooth and durable surface.
Even blows and scratches do not impair the corrosion resistance. Since
no coating is applied but the surface itself is hardened, there can be no
pollution of products or process media as for instance with chipping paint.
