About The Customer
Berto Industries is a leading company in Indonesia’s food processing sector. Founded by Robert Patilaya in 1984, the company started as a small manufacturing company. More than 30 years later, Robert and his son, Marcel, recognized a huge opportunity in the local coffee industry and decided to focus on building high-quality coffee roasting machines. Since 2017, they have been operating as Berto Coffee Roaster. To maintain their position as a leading local coffee roasting machine builder, they understood that they needed to continually innovate. Their journey to revolutionize the coffee processing industry led them to Schneider Electric.
The Challenge
Berto Coffee Roaster, a leading company in Indonesia’s food processing sector, recognized a huge opportunity in the local coffee industry and decided to focus on building high-quality coffee roasting machines. However, their existing roasting machine was manually controlled and required a skilled operator to check every step, resulting in a lot of wasted time in the production process. With the arrival of Industry 4.0, the market demanded a fully automated coffee roaster that required minimal operation and low maintenance costs while also increasing production output, quality, and consistency. It became critical for Berto Coffee Roaster to add more value to their roasting machines designed for the export market.
The Solution
Schneider Electric integrated the Altivar Machine ATV320 variable speed drive into Berto’s roasting machine to optimize and provide automation capability. Combined with the Modicon M221 logic controller, the system became faster and more reliable, significantly improving the output quality and giving consistent and repeatable results throughout every operation. To maintain quality and production output, Schneider Electric provided better visibility into the machine’s condition and performance using EcoStruxure Machine SCADA Expert and EcoStruxure Machine Advisor. With these technologies, operational technicians can diagnose machine performance virtually and in real time, using a tablet, without having to open engine components manually. Using EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisor, they can conduct predictive analysis and uncover potential issues before they occur and cause expensive downtime. Schneider Electric also equipped the machines with a Magelis HMI for easier control and status viewing.
