How does AVEVA System Platform unify heterogeneous industrial systems?
AVEVA System Platform acts as an industrial operating system that connects disparate equipment and software within a single platform. At La Tortilla Factory, it connected systems that did not communicate with each other and delivered accurate, centralized performance data. This unification facilitates end-to-end industrial supervision, speeds up decision-making and supports a culture of continuous improvement, while reducing the integration and maintenance costs associated with multiple vendors.
Why replace paper reporting with real-time industrial supervision?
Manual paper reports limit access to key indicators and delay operational decision-making. With AVEVA System Platform and InTouch Edge HMI, La Tortilla Factory replaced these time-consuming reports with enterprise-wide visualization of operational data. Staff now access KPIs in real time, which improves teamwork, shortens reaction times and quickly reveals areas for improvement. This digital transformation is a prerequisite for any modern food plant.
How does AVEVA InTouch Edge HMI speed up anomaly detection?
AVEVA InTouch Edge HMI provides a lightweight, intuitive graphical interface that shows the status of production lines in real time. Operators immediately see operating deviations, critical alarms and performance indicators, without relying on manual reports. For La Tortilla Factory, this increased responsiveness translates into a 5% improvement in yield, demonstrating that a well-designed HMI is a direct lever for industrial performance in a competitive food environment.
What ROI can a food and beverage SME expect from an AVEVA project?
La Tortilla Factory achieved a 5% improvement in yield, lower overall operating costs and a stronger culture of continuous improvement thanks to AVEVA System Platform and InTouch Edge HMI. For a food and beverage SME, the benefits are quickly measurable: better use of raw materials, identification of waste, optimized maintenance and faster reporting. This ROI shows that industrial supervision is no longer reserved for large groups, but is becoming accessible and profitable for companies of all sizes.
Why choose a flexible SCADA HMI over a rigid solution?
A flexible SCADA HMI such as AVEVA InTouch Edge HMI can evolve with the company: adding new lines, integrating equipment from various vendors, deploying custom dashboards. For La Tortilla Factory, this flexibility was essential to connect initially incompatible systems and build a single operations platform. A rigid solution would have required costly replacements. AVEVA offers long-term investment protection and the ability to adapt to regulatory and technological changes in the sector.
