An at-a-glance overview of past analog and digital values
GEA Codex® Historian is a feature-rich data recorder that adds transparency to any process. It supports various presentation formats — from stacked digital to Gantt style — and a variety of data entry techniques.
This small-footprint software application has a long history in industrial environments. Built to record and visualize all available analog and digital information, it can be modified to accommodate ad hoc value combinations according to specific parameter requirements.
Batch or event-based data can be acquired from SCADA screens and is accessible with just one click. Annotations and comments can be added and time-stamped, and information from sources such as LIMS or manual entries can be collected and stored. A preferred recording resolution can be defined by the operator.
Furthermore, additional views (combinations of values displayed in one screen) can be developed during normal operation, and dynamic triggers (event-based signals) can be used post-recording to separate data into logical subsets, such as clean-in-place [CIP] duration times.
Compatible with GEA Codex®, import and export features ensure that the collected data can be used in other applications. Plus, with a built-in redundancy facility, the system will automatically recover and rebuild any missed data after a period of inactivity/downtime.
Acting as a single point of ERP communication for all GEA Codex® modules, this unit uses a small-footprint, XML-based interface to exchange information with various external systems, including non-ERP ones
Manage your master recipes with ease (ingredients, access points, operating instructions)
With this out-of-the-box production and CIP reporting module, batch statements keep you fully informed about your process and products
GEA Codex® Traceability is a software product that records the transfer of material lot numbers and quantities from goods received to finished product. A user-friendly graphical interface provides an intuitive overview of the manufacturing facility that highlights the equipment used for the selected production run.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
