PEPSICO
Networking & Utility Automation Project
In today’s industrial world, all customers are looking for single-point central control and data acquisition.
This becomes little challenging when there are multiple systems in a factory-like beverage manufacturing.
There are many different industrial protocols used, which have to be converted to a uniform protocol to achieve ommunication synergy.
Velox Automation has always been a pioneer in industrial networking and protocol conversion.
This was a project of enormous proportion with all possible protocols to be converted and multiple media conversion.
It was a totally fast-tracked and first-time right execution.
Our team demonstrated once again, that we deliver more than our promise.
Quick View
System Overview
- Siemens networking solution based on Industrial Ethernet, Profinet, Profibus & Modbus were employed.
