Achieve a consistent quality of blend

Achieving product consistency with production flexibility and efficiency is the goal of Rockwell Automation's new digital blending solution, which controls multiple variables for consistent quality.

"Product consistency is fundamentally important to manufacturers in the consumer packaged goods industry, as they strive to improve their brand equity," says Mike Jamieson, global director, consumer packaged goods industry, Rockwell Automation.

Manufacturers face many challenges in achieving product consistency, including customer demand for variance in product, and the attributes and characteristics of raw materials, and manual production processes.

The Rockwell Automation Digital Blending solution, which is delivered on the Logix Control Platform and the FactoryTalk integrated production and performance software suite, instantaneously controls the metering of ingredients based on volume or material characteristics. This helps manufacturers to achieve product consistency more quickly with less process equipment, product rework and scrap. The solution uses Rockwell Automation standards and technologies allowing for quicker startup, consistency across multiple applications or locations, and common training and support.
