A natural recipe for digital transformation

Brazil's oldest cosmetics company embraces advanced manufacturing to secure its future.
The Challenge
Granado Pharmácias sought to modernise its factories and production processes to secure the company’s competitive position in the marketplace through:
  • Better integration between multiple production lines
  • Tailored and flexible production
  • Identification of bottlenecks
  • Reduction of time to market
  • Ensuring end-product quality and consistency
The Solution
Apps Analytics and Services: AVEVA Historian and Batch Management*, Lifecycle Services
Edge Control: Modicon M580 and M340 PLCs, and EcoStruxure Process Expert (with customised library with situational awareness)
Connected Products: Altivar Process LV drives
  • The innovative EcoStruxure Process Expert enables control and supervision in the same engineering, maintenance, and operations environment, unifying all devices, components, and accessories into a single tool.
  • AVEVA Batch Management controls complex batching processes to further improve operations and production traceability, which helps to ensure consistently high product quality.
  • AVEVA Historian stores all the manufacturing data, both historical and real-time, enabling Granado to build and visualise production reports.
* The Schneider Electric industrial software business and AVEVA have merged to trade as AVEVA Group plc, a UK listed company. The Schneider Electric and Life is On trademarks are owned by Schneider Electric and are being licensed to AVEVA by Schneider Electric.
The Results
By modernising its systems and processes with an EcoStruxure for Food and Beverage solution, Granado Pharmácias achieved:
  • 10-15% increase in production
  • Simple and fast reconfiguration for new products
  • Better quality products through improved processes and traceability
