Smart Automation Upgrade for Food Packaging Line

Challenge

A food processing facility in Southern Europe needed to upgrade its outdated automation system to meet stricter food safety and efficiency regulations. The existing control system frequently failed, causing bottlenecks in packaging and delays in delivery to supermarkets. The management required a quick solution that would modernize the plant without stopping production for weeks.

Solution

Atlas Tech assessed the line, and in collaboration with Siemens and Mitsubishi Electric, proposed a hybrid modernization. Siemens TIA Portal PLCs were integrated into the existing system, while Mitsubishi Electric HMIs replaced legacy operator panels. Our engineers coordinated phased installation during night shifts to avoid halting production.

Result

The packaging line achieved 18% higher throughput, downtime dropped by 30%, and the factory obtained ISO 22000 certification ahead of schedule. Thanks to Atlas Tech’s solution, the company now delivers products faster to retail chains and has a scalable automation platform for future growth.
