Botec process control system

Tuesday, 22 June, 2021 | Supplied by: Krones (Thailand) Co Ltd


Originally used as a control and visualisation system for breweries, the Botec process control system has been expanded to meet the needs of other food and beverage makers.

One aspect targeted in the upgrade was to optimise interfaces to higher-order systems, like production planning or ERP. Links of this kind make for a greater degree of automation while simultaneously reducing operator interventions and increasing efficiency levels.

The Engineering Buddy, a tool that facilitates engineering based on Siemens TIA control systems, enables Botec to be integrated into the TIA portal. It also supports Microsoft Active Directory, which means it can also be integrated into the customer’s central IT landscape.

The latest release gives its user more independence in selecting terminals: the switch to vector graphics, with automatic scaling of process images, means that users will no longer be tied to a specific screen size. Instead, the user can choose any of the formats and resolutions commonly encountered.

It is possible for existing users to benefit from the features of the latest Botec version through an update or, with older systems, by upgrading to Botec F1.
