All you need is yellow. www.fanuc.eu adi Automation, a Company within the adi Group, have recently completed an S88 compliant Batch project for Mondelez at their DAIM factory in Sweden. DAIM is an international brand for which demand has increased considerably over the years. The replacement of an ageing control system gave Mondelez an opportunity to re-assess the benefits of delivering a standard model approach. This will be replicated elsewhere across the Group but is already yielding benefits at the Stockholm factory. It will see further benefits as the merging of compliant batch data is combined with product Track and Trace capability through to finished product.

Variable-speed drives with IP66/IP69K ingress protection are suitable for applications that require regular cleaning with high-pressure steam jets. All components are manufactured in-house: gearboxes, smooth-surface motors, and frequency inverters. The nsd tupH anticorrosion treatment – developed by NORD and FDA-certified (Title 21 CFR 175.300) – gives the aluminum housings a smooth and durable surface. Even blows and scratches do not impair the corrosion resistance. Since no coating is applied but the surface itself is hardened, there can be no pollution of products or process media as for instance with chipping paint.
