Lumis Automation

Mayonnaise Production Line

Control Panel Build & Omron Integration

Food & Beverage Automation Project – Orange County, CA

At Lumis Automation, we successfully completed a control systems integration project for a food processing client in Orange County, California. The client was expanding operations by adding a new mayonnaise production line to an existing system. Our scope involved the design, fabrication, and programming of new industrial control panels and the integration of Omron automation hardware into the facility’s existing PLC/HMI infrastructure using Sysmac Studio software.

🔧 Scope of Work: Food Automation Controls Integration

  • 🛠️ Custom UL-508A Control Panel Fabrication
    Our team built new food-grade, industrial control panels designed for harsh washdown environments, ensuring long-term durability and reliability in food production.

  • 🔌 Omron Automation Integration & Programming
    We used Omron Sysmac Studio to integrate the new production line into the existing Omron PLC platform. Our programming team added the new devices, updated the logic, and ensured seamless connectivity with the legacy equipment—maximizing uptime and system compatibility.

  • 🧴 Automated Mayonnaise Production Line
    This new line was tailored for high-throughput mayonnaise manufacturing. The automation included precision temperature control, process monitoring, and batch traceability—delivered through an upgraded PLC/HMI interface.

  • 🧼 CIP Automation (Clean-In-Place) Upgrade
    We replaced the old COP (Clean-Out-of-Place) cleaning method with a fully automated CIP (Clean-In-Place) system. This upgrade significantly reduced sanitation time, improved hygiene standards, and allowed faster changeovers between batches.
