Case Study: Plascon Paints achieves improved batch consistency and productivity with AVEVA

Plascon Paints a Brighter Production Picture with Help from Invensys Operations Management Solutions

Plascon Paints, a leading paint and coatings manufacturer, faced aging batch-control systems that forced manual batching, increased the risk of cross‑batch contamination and constrained growth. To modernize without disrupting production, Plascon worked with AVEVA and deployed Wonderware InBatch, Wonderware InTouch HMI, Wonderware Historian and Wonderware System Platform using a hot‑swappable upgrade approach to replace legacy batch and HMI software.

AVEVA’s implementation standardized ISA‑S88 recipe management, provided real‑time HMI visibility and high‑performance historical data capture, enabling automated, traceable batch execution and fewer operator errors. The AVEVA solution improved product quality and throughput, optimized recipe management and cost efficiencies, reduced engineering and upgrade effort for rollouts to other plants, and delivered rapid ROI while minimizing downtime during deployment.
