Process automation
Data-driven milling gives feed mills a powerful chance to unlock more value from machinery, people, and overall investment. With Ottevanger as your full-scope automation partner, your operation connects seamlessly at mechanical, electrical, and digital levels. This gives you clear visibility and control over daily output in both quality and quantity, while smart, intuitive technology boosts uptime and prevents issues and bottlenecks before they arise.
One big idea: connecting your feed mill at all levels
Our complete feed mill automation solution includes hardware, software and services – and is designed to take your milling to the next level by connecting our operation at every level.
• SCADA at the operator level
Our operational software has an intuitive and attractive user interface that makes process visualization far easier for operators, enabling them to work faster. As feed mills add new equipment and machines to their operations, our service professionals can easily integrate these into the SCADA software.
• Batch Explorer at the plant-wide level
Many worldwide operators rely on our MES software, which is why we use the input and data collected from them to continuously improve our Batch Explorer and provide regular new releases. This includes brand-new modules plus improvements to both the stability and functionality of existing modules.
• Cloud-based services at the strategic level
Here we provide an instant, strategic overview of feed mill performance, including asset management, maintenance and associated costs, energy consumption, overall availability, and performance and quality. Our digital solutions can also do this across all your production facilities, complete with a dashboard that enables your senior management to see the big picture and take action accordingly.
