Vidrala updates management in her control room thanks to Gesab

The project has been carried out in the Building of Llodio, where three DeskWall units have been deployed, taking advantage of the technical furniture that the company already had. In addition, two have been installed at the Elton plant.

Vidrala Group is a Spanish multinational born in 1965 in Llodio (Álava), dedicated to the manufacture of glass containers for the food industry. After years of growth both nationally and internationally, the company needed to update the production system control technology at its headquarters.

Shelters are spaces located in the factory where production lines are protected from noise, vibrations and all the daily hustle and bustle of the plant. In these rooms operators carry out the control of each signal and alert that occurs in the production of glass, which requires a technology to cover global control.

Since the KVM in their control center had become obsolete and too short to carry out the versatility they needed they decided to go to Gesaba for updating.

In addition, needed to implement a new control system at the Elton plant (United Kingdom), where glass manufacturing subsidiary Encirc is located, which was acquired by Vidrala in 2015.

The proposed system was the implementation of DeskWall, the dynamic KVM developed entirely by Gesab for the management and management of different sources of control room information through a single keyboard and mouse in a multi-level that gives each operator the ability to generate, flexibly, a space where you can organize all the apps, programs and alerts.

The implementation in Llodio was done with three DeskWall units taking advantage of the technical furniture that the company already had, while two units were installed at the Elton plant, adding new monitors, to collect the different control signals from the plant production line.

The rapid implementation of DeskWall has enabled both production plants to take advantage of the new system. In addition, will help the company have greater versatility, offering the opportunity to grow in the future, if they need to control more signals or alerts.
