Project summary
The world’s leading producer of Concord and Niagara-based grape products contracted Audubon to upgrade a major steamer control system of two legacy boilers. The control system provides critical temperature control for the juice and jelly production facility.
The project included design services and full demolition of existing control panels, variable frequency drives (VFD), and local control stations. The automation team upgraded the dated hardware with new Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and Yaskawa VFDs, which improved operational efficiency and system performance at the manufacturing facility.
