Open automation architecture speeds up time to market for food sector OEM

摘要

A leading manufacturer of cheese cutting equipment has updated its extruded cheese cutting solution with an open-architecture machine automation controller from Omron, resulting in a range of benefits to itself and customers alike. Newtech is a leading supplier of cheese cutters for the global food industry. Its cheese cutters employ ultrasonic cutting technology that can cleanly and accurately cut all cheese shapes; including round, wheel, block and extruded varieties. The control upgrade project began when the company made the decision to bring its code development operations in-house. The new control engineer was keen to explore the latest technologies available, which led to a review of the control technology used by Newtech.
