Case Study: BK Giulini achieves flexible batch traceability and process-oriented materials management with ProLeiT Plant iT

Plant iT smoothly combines flexible process control and consistent traceability

BK Giulini, a producer of phosphate-based food additives, faced the challenge of modernizing the obsolete controller and automation system at its Ladenburg mixing plant. The company needed a highly flexible solution for its recipe-controlled processes that could ensure consistent batch traceability and prevent material incompatibilities. To address this, they partnered with vendor ProLeiT to implement a new process control system.

ProLeiT's solution was built on its Plant iT automation system, utilizing the Direct iT, Batch iT, and Acquis iT modules, with a core focus on the new Plant iT material module for process-oriented materials management. This provided a centralized engineering environment and integrated the plant's process level with materials management in real time. The implementation by ProLeiT resulted in highly flexible production sequences, precise batch dosing, and comprehensive batch traceability from incoming goods to finished products, ensuring the highest quality levels were maintained without compromising on flexibility.
