To be able to fulfil orders of any size quickly and accurately, the Mexican mill operator decided a few years ago to manage its processes decentrally with the help of a modern control and visualisation system. This investment paid off and has been leading the way ever since. Transparent as well as profitable and efficient flour production has become a reality through flexible and highly networked processes.
Instrumentation with VEGA measuring instruments fits in with this concept perfectly. Using
VEGASCAN 693 controllers, the Polanco plant communicates its process measurement data via Ethernet to the decentralised control system, and thus controls all incoming and outgoing stocks at all times. In addition, the Bluetooth configuration enables remote visualisation and management of all measuring points via mobile phone or tablet.
Despite all the automation, engineer Menchaca Ortiz is of the opinion that “the human factor” must definitely not be overlooked. He’s convinced that the skills and experience of the employees are still the most important resource at Harinas Elizondo. He also values personal consulting and support highly. Besides perfect measurement technology, an honourable service philosophy is what makes the difference for him. “VEGA’s technical support is not only fast and extremely efficient, it’s performed with just as much passion as we have for our work.”
