From the supplier: PC-based systems are replacing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in a growing number of batch processes in food processing. PC systems outperform PLCs in terms of ease of set-up and operation. These provide connectivity to company networks for real-time data access and collection and can even identify and resolve batch process problems. Meat processor Roger Woods Foods Inc's adoption of a PC system is described.
