Modernization of the control system at KAMA-Futter in Neu-Ulm
KAMA has been manufacturing high-quality animal feed for cattle, veal calves, pigs, poultry, rabbits, horses, and other species for over 80 years. The traditional company has been relying on the expertise of BHS’ control software experts for almost a decade. The collaboration started with a major project – KAMA built another plant with a mixed feed system and needed modern control technology for all its production processes, from receiving to loading the finished animal feed pellets. BHS Control Systems supplied and installed the technical systems KAMA needed and continues to provide support for them. BHS was not only responsible for the regular updates, but also expansion measures such as the increase from one to a total of three presses during operation. The outdated control systems are now also being gradually replaced in the original plant at the same time.
BHS Control Systems has been listed as a Siemens Solution Partner for some time now and uses the WinCC Open Architecture SCADA system as a basis – an open and fully scalable software. The customized, industry-specific solutions comprise a programmable logic controller (PLC) to deliver transparent process visualization and an intuitive operating concept. The special thing in this case is that BHS Control Systems supplemented the software with numerous libraries for animal feed manufacturing and mill operation.
