At PepsiCo’s bottling plant in Vitoria-Gasteiz we have carried out a complete modernisation of the control system: migration from Siemens S5 to S7-1500, an updated electrical design and the manufacture of a new control cabinet, fully documented and ready for today’s requirements.
The goal: to update the technology, make maintenance easier and prepare the installation for its future development.
