Sustainable plant transformation: How ifm is revolutionising production at Danone
ifm worked with Danone and Boccard to meet the challenge of replacing the milk used in the production process with plant-based alternatives on the way to a more sustainable plant. ifm’s involvement from the early stages of setting up the new plant ensures maximum proximity to both the plant manufacturer and the end customer. This enables seamless cooperation and innovative solutions.
The new plant was set up simultaneously with the dismantling of the old one, taking into account the complete integration of the mechanical, electrical and automation areas. This reflects the urgency and commitment to this sustainable transition. Find out how the integration of IO-Link technology, pressure, and temperature sensors and AS-i safety systems streamlined the entire process. As a new feature, IO-Link was integrated in the plant, allowing all digital values to be retrieved from the sensors and the control valves to be operated digitally. It also offers simplified diagnostics, sensor fault reporting and optimised maintenance procedures.
The cooperation between ifm, Danone and Boccard enables close contacts, technical solutions and fast reactions. By choosing ifm’s products with the latest high-end technologies, Danone and Boccard are building a forward-looking and sustainable plant for the coming decades.
