Food & Beverage Industry
Automation technology for safe and hygienic production processes
In the food and beverage industry, product quality, hygiene and complete traceability are paramount. At the same time, production plants must be able to react flexibly to different products, recipes and batch sizes. We develop automation solutions that combine the highest quality standards with economic and secure production processes.
The GESA Automation GmbH supports companies in the food and beverage industry with bespoke solutions – from consulting and planning through hardware and software engineering to control cabinet manufacturing, commissioning and service.
Experience in food and luxury food production
We automate production facilities for the manufacture of soft drinks, dairy products and chocolate. In addition, we implement automation solutions for auxiliary systems, for example for power supply, compressed air and gas supply, packaging, as well as water extraction and water treatment.
Hygienic automation
Production areas with high hygiene requirements call for specially tailored automation technology. For hygiene and wet areas, we design and manufacture stainless steel switchgear that meets the specific demands of these sensitive production environments.
Formulations, batches and traceability
Our industry-specific control and visualisation solutions support the management of recipes and batches as well as the safe execution of CIP (Cleaning in Place) and SIP processes (Sterilisation in Place). At the same time, our systems enable seamless process documentation as well as FDA-compliant labelling and traceability your products.
IT security for production facilities
The increasing digitalisation and networking of industrial production plants places high demands on cyber and IT security. At the same time, regulatory requirements such as the NIS2 Directive as well as established industrial safety standards, for example IEC 62443, is becoming increasingly important.
Already during the planning phase of our automation solutions, we take into account secure network architectures, segmented communication structures and proven security concepts for OT and automation networks. In this way, we create the basis for safe, stable and long-term available plant operation and support our customers in making their production facilities future-proof.
