Automation Solutions for the UK’s Largest Manufacturing Sector
Food and beverage is the UK’s largest manufacturing sector, We are aiming to be delivering outstanding productivity gains to major global brands. Our control and automation solutions help save energy, accelerate production, and enhance quality in these technically challenging environments.
As a specialist control and automation partner, we maintain and crucially improve your control systems and automated processes. These are vital interventions when the entire food and beverage industry faces rising costs and unstable supply chains.
Breaking down silos to create unified, efficient systems across your enterprise – from shop floor to top floor.
Our Approach to Food & Beverage Automation
Maximising Productivity
We specialise in improving your productivity through control and automation solutions that improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Our systems address the unique challenges of food production environments whilst maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and safety.
Key Applications
Automated Batching and Mixing
PLC-controlled flow metres ensure precise ingredient ratios for consistent product quality, eliminating manual measuring errors and reducing waste
Production Line Control
Integrated systems coordinate ingredient dosing, mixing, and cooking processes with precise timing and temperature control
Conveyor and Packaging Systems
Automated conveyor lines and robotic sorters move products with speed and accuracy, reducing manual handling and improving throughput
