SIG has announced it has teamed up with ProLeiT to offer food and beverage producers “advanced production technology and integrated software solutions”.
ProLeiT is a specialist in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), which allow manufacturers to automate and control production processes. SIG said the new partnership will allow the firms to “combine their expertise” for the development of MES products.
SIG described the collaboration as supporting its commitment to build “smarter, more automated plants as part of its Smart Factory segment”.
“Digitisation is an important issue for all companies today, and the Internet of Things is constantly increasing in scope and relevance,” said Dr Thomas Wunderlich, vice president sales, dairies & beverages, at ProLeiT AG. “It’s therefore crucial for us to work with partners who develop innovative technologies and strategies together with us when implementing new application scenarios.
“With our partnership with SIG, we combine industry knowledge, an understanding of our customers’ requirements and the solution portfolio of both providers to create a strong presence in the market. We look forward to opening a new chapter in MES development together with SIG.”
Dr Daryoush Sangi, head of production engineering & strategic partnerships at SIG added, “We chose this partnership because we are convinced that with ProLeiT we have found a highly competent partner for MES solutions to offer our customers complete data processing solutions in the context of a Smart Factory.”
