Novate Solutions works with Cakebread Cellars to devise a control system to optimize the operation of Cakebread’s glycol chiller plant.
At Cakebread Cellars, the company has an intricate process of winemaking, with challenges posed by California's unpredictable weather patterns and power grid instability.
Automation engineers would be intrigued by the innovative solutions implemented to ensure precise temperature control throughout the fermentation and aging stages of wine production. Maintaining stability in temperature is paramount to preserving the quality and characteristics of the wine, requiring advanced automation technology to regulate cooling systems amid fluctuating power availability and environmental conditions.
Novate Solutions Inc., in collaboration with Cakebread Cellars, devised a sophisticated control system utilizing ABB's ACS580 variable frequency drives and soft starters to optimize the operation of the glycol chiller plant, Control reported.
This integrated solution not only ensures compliance with regulatory standards but also enhances reliability and efficiency by seamlessly integrating with Cakebread's existing control infrastructure.
