                                                                                           automation and deliver
                                                                                           relevant operating data
                                                                                           to MEC Optimize.








          option, it is possible to send notifications for defined
          cases directly to the operator’s mobile phone via the
          remote connection MEC Remote.

          Another important optimisation aspect is the maximi-
          sation of the boiler lifetime. The most important
          influence factors here are the water characteristics
          and the operating mode – both are often neglected in
          practice. MEC Optimize not only serves as a digital
          boiler logbook but interprets the entered values and
          helps the operator to identify and correct conditions
          that promote corrosion or are even safety-critical. In
          addition, the operating mode is analysed for incorrect
          start-up, inefficient control of multi-boiler systems
          and too frequent burner cycles. MEC Optimize also
          helps to avoid production losses due to interrupted
          process heat: The permissible loads and switching
          cycles are stored for all important components. Based
          on the operating mode, the efficiency assistant
            determines the state of the component, predicts the
          probable remaining lifetime and supports in mainte-
          nance planning.

          The other plant equipment from Bosch for feed water
          deaeration, heat recovery and automation rounds off
          the overall system and ensures low energy consumption.
          The steam boiler system was realised by Karl Lausser
          from Pilgramsberg, Germany – without interrupting
          the steam supply. In coordination with the dairy’s
          operating processes, the boilers were put into opera-
          tion by Bosch Industrial Service on a staggered basis.

                                                               stores, evaluates and visualises the data of all linked
                                                               system components.
