Promtek to launch innovative cloud process control solution

Automation specialist Promtek Ltd will showcase its pioneering new in-the-cloud process control solutions for intelligent weighment management, recipe handling and production monitoring on stand H52 at this year's PPMA Show (26-28 September 2023, NEC Birmingham) - the company's first ever visit to the esteemed exhibition.

For the very first time, Promtek will demonstrate the company's Condor Cloud alongside the MicroMan control system. Together they provide a complete strategic overview of every aspect of production, including ingredient reformulations, equipment utilisation, climate impact and energy costs, demonstrated using Promtek's miniature railway and MicroMan hand-weighing game.

As a cloud-based alternative, Condor Cloud offers the same IT/OT integration for ingredient and recipe handling as its native version without the need for expensive IT infrastructure, making it ideal for fast-growing SME manufacturers with a weighing process. With no onsite servers or network requirements, the browser-based Condor Cloud will help grow a business, reduce costs, and optimise production facilities.

Promtek's peerless all-in-one platform uses predefined algorithms to calculate energy efficiency accurately, bringing enterprise-level manufacturing systems to smaller-scale facilities. Condor provides access across the organisation to be stored centrally, it creates customised batch and production reports with critical information by connecting systems such as process control, ERP or PLC/SCADA.

Condor's time-in-motion capabilities provide systemic observation, analysis and measurement of each step in the production process, establishing a standardised time for each, improving performance and increasing productivity. By analysing the data in Condor from each connected monitor and input, the MES can trim down production waste and reduce energy usage by fine-tuning individual equipment settings - significantly lessening the amount of kWh/t.

The platform is always running the latest software version, as the maintenance and administration for a Condor server, including updates and security patching is handled remotely by Promtek engineers - tapping a business into Promtek's exceptional customer service and aftercare offerings.

MicroMan, a portable version of Promtek's signature platform StoraWeigh collates all production information using its systems and graphics integration suite to generate bespoke production control and support. Businesses can use the data to create customer-specific trusted records of weights and measurements of ingredients and materials, manage recipe control, improving ingredient traceability, prevent cross-contamination and assist with order scheduling.

Promtek's Marketing Manager, Lani Scholtz, explained: "Promtek is thrilled to be at PPMA for the first time - we love meeting new people from across different industries. Interacting with potential new customers and catching up with a few current customers is one of the best parts of the job, as we get genuine, unfiltered feedback in person. You get an excellent feel for a testimonial, feedback or praise if you're standing right next to someone!

"We are truly excited to showcase our next-level, class-leading innovations. We can't wait to show manufacturers what benefits they will bring to the manufacturer's process controls and how they can grow and develop to support any business strategy."
