Case Study: Interplastic achieves greater batch consistency and efficiency with Cybertrol Engineering’s PlantPAx and FactoryTalk Batch solution

Interplastic modernizes batch operations in 7-8 days with Cybertrol Engineering

Interplastic Corporation, a specialty resin producer, faced significant operational challenges due to an outdated, manual batch processing system and obsolete hardware. This unreliable setup, which relied on a single 20-year-old computer, led to production errors, waste, and high operational costs. Partnering with Cybertrol Engineering, the goal was to achieve total automation and modernize their control system within a very tight downtime window.

Cybertrol Engineering implemented a comprehensive solution using Rockwell Automation's PlantPAx DCS and FactoryTalk Batch, integrated with their own BatchWorks software. This upgraded the hardware infrastructure and provided a fully automated, redundant system. The results for Interplastic included a reduction in batching errors, an increase in production capacity, and improved product consistency, with an expected ROI within 2-3 years. The project's success led to repeat business for Cybertrol to implement the solution at Interplastic's other facilities.
