DMC\u2019s first project with the client involved creating custom code for the client\u2019s confectionary equipment. This allowed the client to make custom orders for their customers and produce a variety of confectionary goods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DMC later revisited the client\u2019s facility to develop architecture for their confectionary equipment and implement it in a second confectionary facility. It was an improvement on the custom equipment code. This allowed the client to expand to another refining\u00a0line at the second facility with the custom control system DMC developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dmcinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/27165502\/clasen-screen-of-pump-motor-2.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Pump Motor Overload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently, DMC was involved with developing a third facility for the client based on the existing background technology DMC had developed previously for the first two facilities. DMC used the existing architecture and applied it to the client\u2019s specific configuration of refining lines and ingredient systems. This was beneficial for the client because the cost of development for a new refining line was lower compared to rebuilding the technology from the ground up. DMC frequently traveled onsite to assist with the startup of the facility and continued to add new features and new flexible options, allowing\u00a0the client to make changes on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the third facility experienced an IT issue that caused limitations on receiving diagnostics, DMC&nbsp;wrote a C# application to collect the recipe information integrating with the SQL database to obtain recipe information that provides better diagnostics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DMC\u2019s expertise in WinCC Professional and SQL database qualified us to provide a modern upgraded solution and successfully reuse and update existing background technology for the third confectionary equipment facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DMC\u2019s work on the client\u2019s three confectionery equipment facilities allowed the client to expand and add new tanks, add new ingredients, reduce the cost of refining lines, and utilize\u00a0a more flexible code base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn more about our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmcinfo.com\/services\/manufacturing-automation-and-intelligence\">Manufacturing Automation and Intelligence<\/a> expertise and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmcinfo.com\/contact#get-in-touch\">contact us<\/a> for your next project.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DMC began its long relationship with this client when the client needed their confectionary equipment code updated for their entire facility.
