SILCHESTER DELIVERS MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN EFFICIENCY, ACCURACY TRANSPARENCY & REPORTING FOR RYVITA UTILSING CITECT´S AMPLA MES SYSTEM

Silchester Control Systems designed, developed, installed and implemented a full Factory Wide MES production information system, collecting detailed production and process information from countless devices across a robust industrial network for the Ryvita Company. Silchester, a Citect systems integrator, has achieved a 90% reduction in manual inputs across the production system at Ryvita in Poole, providing major improvements in efficiency, accuracy, transparency and reporting using Citect´s new AMPLA MES package. The AMPLA system is the backbone of a flexible factory- wide reporting system, integrating both Citect SCADA and Citect Reports, which was installed by Silchester with zero downtime and no loss of production. It collates vast amounts of data seamlessly, providing easily accessible real time and historical production data to aid immediate decision-making and drive continuous business improvement.
Mark Chesworth, Supply Chain Director for Ryvita said: "This is a major step forward in terms of information accessibility for the site. It allows live data to be used by the teams in the factory to drive & improve business performance, without time being wasted trying to collate vast quantities of information. It also enables the teams to assume real time responsibility for driving their K.P.I.´s, & to witness the results of their efforts. We believe this evolution will prove to be truly empowering for our production staff." Ryvita, which is part of the Associated British Foods Group, has been making crispbread since 1925, and currently exports to over 85 countries. Over the last few years, the company´s programme of TQM and best practice management has produced a new outlook to manufacturing; delivering many new products.
