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%
