Janssen Wafel had a dire wish to automate the dosing and mixing of their recipes together with tracking of the actual used amounts of raw materials. It’s not uncommon for a manual bakery to have some human error:

• Wrong ingredients
• Too much or to little raw material in the mix
• Different kneading times
• …

This situation led to an unknown outcome and prevented them from making accurate estimations on buying in new ingredients. Luckily our solution ofloads all this into our Siemens PLC which tracks the exact amounts needed and used, which is all kept synced into a database by utilizing an Industrial PC. Doing so allows them to make quick analyzes and getting a realtime overview of what is getting produces, dosed and consumed.
