SPS-IT

Project

SPS-IT (Smart Polyphenol manufacturing Supervisor)

Sector

Biochemistry

Installation site

Poly4Life – Terni Biotechnology Company

Objective

Elimination of production defects and reduction of the plant’s energy consumption.

Proposed action

Experimentation of an innovative supervision system in the production plant. Tera, as an Idea75 partner, collaborated in the definition and implementation of the 3 levels making up the SPS architecture: Field, Factory, Cloud. Tera contributed in particular to the Field level (consisting of sensors, actuators and gateway (SPS-gw) for the acquisition of data from the field ant the actuations management.

Expected benefits

SPS has allowed:

• a 20% reduction in quantity of product rejected for non-compliance;
• a 10% reduction in the lobal energy consumption of the production line;
• to improve the average quality of the finished product by 15%
