Food and Beverage / Consumer Packaged Goods: Refresco Use Case
Overview
SeQent initially started working with the Paw Paw plant in 2014 when it was owned and operated by The Coca-Cola Company
Utilities Alarms were initially being monitored using Rockwell RSView32 that was upgraded to Rockwell FactoryTalk View SE HMI
In support of a major expansion with the addition of a water treatment plant, the facility standardized on Rockwell FactoryTalk View SE Alarms & Events
Legacy paging system utilizing alpha-numeric pagers was retired and critical Alarms now sent to a Motorola Solutions MOTOTRBO two-way radio system
