Getreide Züri Nord AG, Niederhasli, Switzerland
Updating of Intake 1
The plant consists of two sections, Intake 1 and the Mill. The Mill still uses the silo bins for storage. Intake 1 dates back to the seventies and was operated through a mimic diagram before the conversion. The Mill was already equipped with a process control system dating back to the nineties. We updated the complete control system. All the switchgear of Intake 1 was replaced, and the control cabinets of the Mill were equipped with new I/O systems. In addition, an entirely new process control system covering both plant sections was implemented and put into service.
