KHS deployed GENESIS32 to manage ACF (Aseptic Cold Filling) applications at Eckes-Granini, filling microbiologically sensitive fruit juices into PET bottles at 20C without preservatives. The modular suite integrates OPC and Profibus with Siemens S7 PLCs on Windows 2000, supports multi-language reuse, animated 3D graphics, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant security with full audit trails. Integration via GenBroker, SOAP/XML, and enterprise databases enables historical production analysis within existing IT environments.

Key takeaways

GENESIS32 provided modular HMI/SCADA for machine control and process visualization on filling lines

OPC and Profibus connectivity linked GENESIS32 to Siemens S7 PLCs and I/O hardware

Multi-language support and reusable symbols reduced engineering effort across global deployments

Security Server delivered FDA 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails and multi-level password protection

GenBroker and SOAP/XML enabled integration with existing IT systems and enterprise databases
