Blending Technology for Tomorrow: Avebe’s Journey to IT/OT Integration
In today’s ever-evolving landscape, the synergy between technology’s power and operational efficiency is creating solutions that transcend individual capabilities.
Customer demands extend beyond Operational Technology (OT) solutions, encompassing a need for Information Technology (IT) solutions.
On average, up to 3 companies are involved in IT/OT projects: the convergence between IT and OT on one single Partner reduces complexity, adding significant value for the customer.
Rob Valent, Global Partner Manager at ATS Global, said: “In their day-to-day business our customers can’t keep up with all the developments in technology and they expect a partner to take care of that to help them but also lower the level of complexity for them”.
The fusion between IT and OT is not just a trend, it’s the future.
Navigating Challenges: Avebe’s Customer Story
Royal Avebe is an innovative Dutch starch manufacturer operating in different markets – Food, Industrial, and Animal nutrition – with a vision to create value from potatoes to contribute to a sustainable future.
To reduce operators’ workloads, ATS Global—Solution Partner for Siemens—and Avebe have developed an ad-hoc solution within the factory, seamlessly integrating IT and OT.
A MES platform system was implemented, seamlessly integrating with ERP and Shop floor systems. This alleviated the workload for operators and provided enhanced visibility into production, offering insights into efficiency and effectiveness. ATS guided Avebe on effectively utilizing, implementing, and maintaining the advanced hardware and software that Siemens Digital Industries Software provided to retain its competitive advantage and push the plant-based industry to the next level.
Having a seasoned partner proficient in IT and OT is a strategic decision offering a distinct advantage: foreseeing and addressing challenges that may not have yet come to light.
