In 2012 ForFarmers engaged Equans Digital to deploy Equans MES, a Manufacturing Execution System, as the backbone of an integrated Smart Factory solution across multiple feed plants in the Netherlands. The program began with an initial implementation in 2012 and proceeded through successive site rollouts in 2015, 2018, and 2022, culminating in a full automation of the Reudink plant completed end 2023.
Equans MES was implemented alongside SCADA and PLC integration to create a unified plant floor architecture, providing production control, batch management, recipe execution, and real time process monitoring. The deployment emphasized track and trace capabilities and automated control routines typical of Manufacturing Execution System implementations, with configuration focused on standardized workflows and deterministic equipment interfaces.
System integration tied the MES layer directly into plant PLCs and SCADA supervisory layers for closed loop control, and included an explicit SAP integration to exchange production orders and traceability data with enterprise systems. Operational coverage targeted multiple ForFarmers feed plants in the Netherlands, with the Reudink site moved to full automation as the final phase, affecting production, maintenance, quality and supply chain traceability functions.
Governance followed a phased rollout model with site by site standardization of controls and operational processes, enabling repeatable configuration and reduced commissioning risk across waves. The implementation delivered higher capacity and fewer stoppages, while providing end to end track and trace and SAP connectivity as reported by Equans.
