Challenge	Amadori Group, a leading food processing company in Italy, faced challenges in optimizing temperature management during meat processing steps. The company needed to ensure traceability, with exact temperature data for every step: processing, stocking, and preservation. They aimed to deploy a system that improves plant efficiency. However, they faced difficulty in software migration from an outdated version to a highly innovative and scalable system. They also needed to create a temperature control system that adjusts according to the external weather conditions. The most sensitive part of production was the correct management of temperature, both in the processing and in the stocking and preservation steps. Temperature must be kept constant in the cold stores used in the preservation of slaughtered meat in order to prevent it from quickly spoiling. Read More
About Customer	Amadori Group is one of the market leaders in the food processing industry. Founded in San Vittore di Cesena forty years ago, the Group – with a turnover of over 1 billion euro in 2008 – leads the Italian market with 16 industrial plants, 33 subsidiaries and 6,400 employees. The company is known for its innovation and decision to manage the entire production cycle directly, allowing immediate control over every production step. This includes the choice of raw materials, farms, hatcheries, feed mills, processing plants, packaging and distribution. The popularity of the Amadori Group has greatly increased in the past few years, thanks to advertisements featuring company testimonials and the “guaranteed by Francesco Amadori” slogan. By emphasizing the high quality of its poultry products in various versions, the company is sending out a strong and important message. Read More
Solution	Amadori Group deployed Wonderware Historian and HMI software to enable compliance with government regulations, optimize production cycles and improve energy management. The Wonderware InTouch HMI (Human Machine Interface) allows for smart operation. The system is able to manage the activation of the air conditioning system according to actual needs and it also establishes the power needed to guarantee ideal conditions. The Wonderware InTouch HMI nodes help analyze environmental conditions, helping in the control of the air conditioning system. The Wonderware Historian software is specifically designed for the historicization and archiving of process data and helps solve this problem. Wonderware Historian Clients provide access to all stored process data and transform it into graphics and useful information that allows operators to visualize historical event-related temperature trends intuitively.
