Advantech’s rugged Industry 4.0 solutions offer flexible and efficient ways for food & beverage manufacturers to fulfill high demand in product variability while maintaining the safety of the food and supply.
There is no business or industry that can’t benefit from visualizing their data,
but Manufacturers are the one group that can’t survive without it.” – Peter Begle Business Online
More than ever before, the food and beverage industry is facing pressure from consumers and regulators to ensure the quality and safety of food products they produce. To achieve the highest level of food safety, hygiene control during all production operations is essential.
As food and beverage manufacturers target higher production rates with hundreds of PCs deployed throughout the factory, the management of complex processes becomes more critical. Managers need a single interface that allows them to spot trends and patterns more quickly.
Factories might typically deploy hundreds of PCs for various applications, but employing a big IT team to maintain all the PCs is not affordable or practical. ThinManager can effectively centralize all the PCs management works into one-click through single interface.
Traceability is the ability to verify the history, location, and/or application of an item by a documented and recorded unique identifier. Goods can be recalled based on the precise information of date, time, and location.
Advantech’s industrial display solutions, which include Panel PCs and a stainless steel waterproof monitor, are specifically designed for the food and beverage industry. All components are easy to clean and disinfect. In addition, they are corrosion resistant which helps to prevent cross-contamination.
Advantech’s durable stainless steel/waterproof displays withstand rigorous equipment cleaning and sanitizing regimens helping to ensure the safety of the food and supply.
Suitable for operation in harsh environments with a high potential for exposure to dust, condensation, and water.
Displays designed to industry standards, like all around IP69K/IP65 ratings to prevent foodborne illnesses and protect your brand.

Advantech provides a series of real-time control and data analysis solutions that are capable of summarizing the results of multiple processes and visually showing the performance/efficiency of each task in real time on a dashboard. This enables managers to make data driven decisions based on real-time data analysis.
Advantech’s WebOP-2000T series of operator panels comes with WebAccess/HMI runtime software pre-installed so users can easily capture and transform data collected from PLCs, motion/thermal controllers, inverters, and sensors into visualized information to enable real-time monitoring and management.
Advantech’s UNO-1251G is a rugged industrial IoT Din-rail gateway with a programmable OLED display and mobile remote access with VNC. This platform also comes with WebAccess/HMI runtime software pre-installed making it ideal for data acquisition, remote control, and status/error monitoring.
Recording ingredient proportions and changing recipes rapidly are important functions for automated mixing and blending systems. Advantech’s WOP-2070T operator panel supports the collection of real-time data from machine PLCs and devices for machine process and error monitoring. Featuring versatile I/O and more than 450 PLC protocols, WOP-2070T is capable of connecting to all types of machines to enable monitoring of the entire production environment. Moreover, WOP-2070T can be used to visualize machine status data into trend charts and graphs for convenient process monitoring and management at food and beverage factories.
Nowadays, packaging and label slitting processes are highly automated. However, to ensure quality, all labeling and packing operation parameters must be tracked. Advantech’s WOP-2100T platform is designed to collect data from servos, PLCs, thermal meters, pressure meters, and counters, as well as manage machine parameters according to digital recipes. As an integrated solution, WOP-2100T offers an overview of the real-time status of all devices and is ideal for packaging and label slitting operations.
Powerful software which is able to create HMI application solutions for labor-saving, manufacturing efficiency improved and visualized operation on every machine in factory.
