An application showcasing all of Ignition’s features in one massive system is a project by integrator CPM Beta Raven for Smithfield’s hog feed production. Smithfield wanted to completely automate its hog feed production plant, as the feed mill was working entirely with push button control systems, relay circuit boards, and physical labor. Using Ignition to handle Smithfield’s materials receiving operations, recipes, inventory tracking, product loadouts, historian data analysis, notifications, and visualization, Cox said Smithfield operators now “have the capability to focus on ingredient and product accuracy and production times for the best results.”
