Case Study: California Winery improves red fermentation uptime with E Tech Group PLC and SCADA upgrade

California Winery boosts red fermentation uptime with E Tech Group

A California winery was facing operational challenges due to an outdated control system for its red fermentation process. This led to frequent downtime, costly hardware replacements, and a lack of maintenance expertise. The winery hired E Tech Group to create a solution involving a PLC and SCADA upgrade to modernize their operations.

E Tech Group implemented an upgraded control system centered on an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC that integrated three separate areas into one main controller. They reconfigured the winery's existing Ignition SCADA software and added new PanelView Plus HMIs. The solution provided by E Tech Group resolved software compatibility issues and resolved bugs, resulting in improved uptime for the fermentation process and the elimination of legacy system maintenance challenges.
