Overview
Scope & approach
Patties Foods is one of Australia's leading manufacturers of pies, pasties, sausage rolls and frozen desserts. When Patties needed to automate a hot water set process used for product forming and cooking cycle control, the project required a practical, low-cost engineering solution. We scoped and delivered a fit-for-purpose control system that met operational requirements without over-engineering the scope or exceeding budget.
Outcomes
What was delivered
- The control solution met the process requirement without unnecessary complexity or overspend.
- Temperature and cycle control became more consistent for the production team.
- The operator interface and handover were designed for quick adoption on site.
