Food and Beverage

Actually, there are only two things which differentiate the food and luxury food production from local cuisine: the technological complexity, as well as the amount being processed. Liquids are measured, materials weighed out, temperatures exactly adjusted, and the ingredients as well as the finished products are transported and portioned. And this is where the parallels end. The industrial recipes - sometimes 20 or 30 or more in a production system - are realized by besecke in electro-technical steps and electronic signals that are controlled, processed, saved and stored.

And of course, every step can be visualized - directly at the machines, all over in the factory or somewhere else where this data is selected, structured and prepared for the respective user and made available to the user: including the batch retracing. That's besecke - a specialist in automation.

Bremen is the brand-name product capital of Germany. With beer and chocolate, breakfast cereals, coffee, cocoa and many other items. And besecke is working for many of these food producers. With electro-technology, and electronics and the furnishing of hard- and software. From PLC to electric motors, special switches and sensors - up to visualisation. And naturally including the connection to the overriding databanks. So that production is controlled, mistakes are found, failures are remedied and parameters can be changed. Should the belt weigher weigh 20 grams more, the air current pipeline transport quicker, or should the honey be warmer when it comes into the production: besecke is also active beyond the initial installation.

Where machines run in three shifts and the production doesn't tolerate any disruptions, besecke is standing by ready to serve: with stand-by duty, with their own spare parts depot and competent employees who know the individual system beyond the factory and whose knowledge of automation technology extends to the products being processed and the manufacturing processes.

The requirements for automation in the food industry have clearly increased. Where Controlling wants the exact amount of scrap recorded, scrapped products identified or wants to know the exact amount of electricity, water, steam or air that has been consumed, the besecke data-provision depicts a professional basis. besecke gets it going, namely controls.

A look into the near future: MES

The provision of data from the manufacturing is continuously gaining importance for planners and those who steer production; controllers and management levels demand transparency. Here, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) plays an important role. As a link between production and management, it gives the desired transparency and offers aid in the decision-making that is necessary for increasing productivity. These direct data connections between the production levels and management make the continuation as well as the synchronization of internal and external work flow processes easier, particularly from the business administrative point of view.

With MES, besecke offers modular solutions. The prompt analysis of data, reporting functions, and order management are features of a modern MES from besecke.
