Case Study: Leading Corn Processing And Ethanol Production achieves plant optimization and reduced downtime with Softdel Rockwell Automation solutions

Leading Corn Processing And Ethanol Production - Customer Case Study

Leading Corn Processing And Ethanol Production is a leading corn processing and ethanol producer with a state-of-the-art facility built on the Rockwell Automation platform. The company wanted to lower production costs through continuous process improvement, reduce downtime, and better integrate enterprise and industrial operations. Softdel supported these goals with its Rockwell Technologies expertise, including PLC and SCADA programming.

Softdel set up a team of Rockwell Automation experts to upgrade and standardize the ethanol and corn plant’s operating practices. The solution included migrating legacy networks to Ethernet/IP, energy management, asset management and plant optimization, and data acquisition and reporting, along with Panduit’s UPS. The case study indicates improved operational standardization and better plant optimization, but does not provide specific measurable results.
