This case study details the automation of Almarai's new infant nutritional facility near Riyadh using ProLeiT's Plant iT process control system. The solution combines Plant Liqu iT for continuous processes and Plant Batch iT for recipe-driven batch operations, processing standardized orders from SAP. Handheld scanners, Visu-Recorder, and redundant servers ensure traceability, inventory accuracy, and real-time fault detection across the full production flow.
