CTS can support your needs by placing temporary and permanent technicians and engineers at your plant site to support your Process Control, Instrumentation &
Calibration requirements. CTS’s dedicated and highly skilled teams will integrate into your process needs and your staffing goals. CTS’s on-site staffing programs
allows you to focus on your primary processes and places the focus on CTS to provide training, recruiting, systems, human resource needs, and other issues
which pull you away from your primary responsibilities.

CTS has flexible programs and pricing models to best meet your instrumentation and process control requirements.

Food Processing (Frozen, Fresh, Dairy, Proteins, Vegetables)

Food processing industrial automation computer-controlled systems, robotics, and advanced technologies to manage and control various processes in the food production and processing industries. Automating these processes can result in improved efficiency, quality, safety, and traceability of food products. We specialize in HACCP systems and compliancy solutions (USDA, FDA, AHJ, etc.)

• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs): We support AB and other industrial platforms specializing in converting from obsolete platforms to modern AB solutions.
• Sensors: Level, Pressure, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity, Flow rate, and other critical process parameters in food processing.
• Robots: Robotics for sorting, packaging, loading/unloading, and even delicate operations like deboning poultry or filleting fish.
• Machine Vision: This involves using cameras and computers to conduct inspections and ensure the quality of food products. Machine vision systems can detect defects, determine portion sizes, and even assess the color of products to ensure consistency.
• Human-Machine Interface (HMI): These are interactive touch screens or interfaces that allow operators to interact with automated systems, monitor processes, and make adjustments when necessary.
• SCADA Systems: Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition systems collect and analyze real-time data. They can monitor entire facilities and ensure everything is running smoothly.
• Traceability Systems: These track products throughout the supply chain, which is essential for safety recalls and ensuring the quality and origin of food products.
• Networking and Communication: Automated systems need to communicate with each other, requiring robust networking solutions, often including wireless technologies.

• Consultation and Design: Determining the needs of the food processing plant and designing an automation solution tailored to those requirements.
• System Integration: Integrating various automation systems, devices, and technologies to ensure they work together seamlessly.
• Programming and Configuration: Customizing software and controls for specific food processing tasks.
• Training: Providing training for plant personnel to operate and maintain the new automated systems.
• Maintenance and Support: Offering ongoing support, maintenance, and upgrades for the automation systems.
• Data Analysis and Optimization: Analyzing the collected data to optimize processes, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.
• Safety Assessments: Ensuring that the automated systems meet all safety standards and regulations.

• Consistency and Quality: Automation ensures consistent processes, leading to uniform product quality.
• Efficiency: Automated systems can operate faster and more efficiently than manual processes.
• Safety: Reduces the need for direct human contact with food, which can minimize contamination risks.
• Labor Savings: Can reduce the need for manual labor in repetitive or dangerous tasks.
• Waste Reduction: Precision in processes can lead to reduced waste.
• Traceability: Automated record-keeping enhances traceability, which is crucial for safety and quality assurance.
• To leverage these benefits, we work with clients to explore opportunities and provide expertise to support the food industry’s specific requirements and challenges.
