What if your processing equipment could optimize itself in real time?
Kerry experienced this when it implemented the Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Analytics Pavilion8 Model Predictive Control (MPC) for evaporators and spray dryers at its Rothschild, Wis., facility. Working like a "cruise control" for manufacturing equipment, the software helped Kerry achieve a 21% increase in spray dryer efficiency.

Hi, I’m Casey Flanagan with ProFood World, and here’s one of our top articles to check out this week.
Sustainable nutrition supplier Kerry implemented model predictive control technology at its Rothschild, Wisconsin, facility, to work as a kind of cruise control for its evaporators and spray dryers.
As a result, the company eliminated about 145 hours of lost production due to CIP per year and achieved a 21% increase in spray dryer efficiency.
The MPC software from Rockwell Automation optimizes machine performance in real time, balancing variables to find the most economical operating conditions. For Kerry, it brought benefits like more consistent production from shift to shift and minimized energy consumption across seasons.
For the full breakdown on how Kerry implemented this technology and the lessons learned along the way, check out the full article linked here or on profoodworld.com.
