Efficiency is the name of the game for today’s food and beverage makers - in every process and in every resource. Being more productive while using less energy has never been a greater imperative.

The food and beverage industry today is under great pressure - from retailers and distribution networks with tremendous price-setting power, to consumers with high expectations for variety, value, and sustainable manufacturing.

From giant operations to niche pro- ducers, more and more food and beve-rage producers are looking at energy as part of their bottom line and an important part of their sustainability performance. And while energy is not always the largest cost, through energy efficiency measures it can be a controllable cost in an industry where every cent matters.

From conversion of raw ingredients to final packaging / bottling and palletizing, there

are considerable opportunities to improve energy efficiency in many of the processes and activities needed to bring food and beverages to the market.

In addition to conserving energy and water, many of these also support production priorities such as productivity, quality and food safety while reducing waste.

ABB combines 130 years of energy exper-tise with a broad portfolio of products, software and services to help food and beverage makers monitor and report on energy use, reduce energy use and losses, and manage equipment and processes more effectively.

These technologies are supported by ABB technology specialists, who can help you analyze and optimize electric and thermal energy use to deliver savings for your entire plant or a specific production area, as well as support systems.

Masters of flexibility

The Food and Beverage industry is changing rapidly. ABB and its partners are providing the expertise and robotic solutions to meet the flexibility required by these new demands.

If you’re involved in the Food and Beve-rage industry you know quite well that it has undergone some dramatic changes in the recent past—and have likely ex-perienced them firsthand. Whereas once it was commonplace to have long pro-duction runs and a relatively limited group of standard package sizes, end-users are now more interested in on-demand pack-aging, short production runs, mix-and-match variety packs and individualized packaging configurations.

In addition, the time between ordering a new production line and the start of pro-duction is shrinking while the containers are becoming more intricate and portions more uniform in order to be pleasing to consumers.

Around the world more and more people are eating packaged foods and buying consumer goods in association with an increased standard of living and popu-lation growth. Lifestyle changes associ-ated with this increase mean people are cooking less and depending more on processed or premade items. Consumers are also becoming more health conscious and demanding fresher products, which requires shorter delivery times.

At the same time competition between food and beverage brands, as well as distributors and retailers, is fierce, and packaging plays a greater role in this battle for consumer eyeballs and loyalty. Food safety is also an increasing con-cern, so much so that the desire for food and beverage products that have been untouched by human hands during their processing is rising.

When all of these factors are taken to-gether, it’s enough to make even the most hardened production supervisors lose sleep – or even hair.

Flexible robotics can help Equipment manufacturers are realizing the truly profound impact they can have on the profitability of a Food and Beve-rage operation by the way in which they design a solution – and the smart ones are responding by thinking outside of the conventional box.

By replacing conventional machines with industrial robots, the headaches associ-ated with the demands of the modern Food and Beverage industry can be met head-on. Six-axis robots provide the flexibility needed for incredibly dynamic production environments, while sacri-ficing none of the speed or accuracy of conventional equipment.

With robotic automation it becomes an easy task to change package styles and configurations as the market demands, as well as change production lines quickly to remove unpopular products and intro-duce new ones. In fact, some processors these days may only have 20-40 minute runs or very short contracts to produce a particular item. A common misperception is that robots are only suitable for long runs of the same product when in reality a robot typically has the fastest change-over once programmed and can adapt quickly to changing production contracts. Robots can also drastically shorten the time between production and delivery to

a retailer, thereby allowing for the sale of fresher products.

Food safety concerns regarding con-tamination and tracking products as they move through the system are also addressed by robotics due to the nature of automated systems and the lack of hu-man hands touching the product.

Addressing challenges To this point, the Food and Beverage in-dustry has operated on a fairly low level of technology and the thought of employing robotics has remained a daunting task. To automate these kinds of operations it is a must to have tools that enable more integrators and end customers to incor-porate and maintain robotic systems. Increasing ease of use and develop-ing standardized function packages are therefore essential for the industry.

At ABB we have addressed these issues with many new products, including PC-based programming and simulation tools such as Pickmaster 3, our Picking-PowerPac and our Palletizing PowerPac, as well as standardized solutions such as our Integrated Vision, RacerPack flow packaging solution, and other plug- andplay function packages. We have also increased the flexibility of our robots with an entire family of IRB 360 FlexPickers, a family of palletizing robots and 6-axis

articulated robots to meet virtually any requirement.

ABB’s aim is to decrease the percep-tion that robots are a specialized piece of production equipment that requires too much training and effort to integrate. Inreality, they are the masters of flexibility and should be seen as a standard item for those operations that want to remain ompetitive.

Over time, robots have proven them-selves critical to creating the flexible, agile and speedy solutions that today’s Food and Beverage operations need to remain competitive. Modern robotic sys-tems from ABB and its partners can deal with speeds and situations that humans simply can’t, as well as handle things that were previously thought to be impossible to automate. They can fit into very small footprints and eliminate the convention-al equipment that typically needs large, fixed spaces to work.

In short, industrial robots can now handle almost any task required by the Food and Beverage industry, but it takes a team of knowledgeable experts to help your operation make the leap. With ABB at your back, you know that expertise is available anytime and anywhere – for any type of project.

Obama and Merkel inspired by ABB’s ground-breaking digital technology at Hanover Fair

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Barack Obama were among the first to experience a ground-breaking new smart sensor from ABB during their visit to the Hanover Fair. The two lead-ers were shown how ABB’s smart sensor can improve the productivity of hundreds of millions of electric motors by connect-ing them for the first time to cloud-based services.

At the ABB stand, Merkel and Obama heard how the smart sensor can be ap-plied to the vast majority of low-voltage motors, whether new or already in use, making it possible to improve efficiency, reduce downtime and save money. The

digital solution will for the first time enable LV motors to be integrated into the ex-panding Internet of Things, Services and People.

Accompanied by ABB CEO Ulrich Spiess-hofer, Greg Scheu, President of ABB’s Americas region and Hans-Georg Krab-be, Country Managing Director of ABB in Germany, the two leaders watched a YuMi robot demonstrate how easy it is to attach the smart sensor to an LV motor. Through a wireless connection to the Internet, the motor’s performance data was displayed on a large screen, demonstrating how unexpected breakdowns can be avoided and energy consumption reduced.

Solar Impulse takes to the skies to show we can run the world without consuming the earthAfter a winter break in Hawaii, the Solar Impulse round-the-world mission has taken off again, with the aim of becom-ing the first plane to circumnavigate the globe without consuming a single drop of fossil fuel. ABB is providing essential technical support through its innovation and technology alliance with the pioneer-ing project. Together, we are spreading the message that we can decouple eco-nomic growth from environmental impact.

Having made an important contribution to the Solar Impulse mission last year, both before take-off and at the plane’s various landing sites, ABB has again assigned an engineer to accompany the Solar Impulse ground crew throughout the flight, which will fly east across the continental Unit-

ed States and the Atlantic to its starting point in Abu Dhabi. ”

“Solar Impulse was not built to carry passengers, but to demonstrate that al-ternative energy sources and new tech-nologies can power the world sustain-ably,” said Solar Impulse co-founder and pilot, Bertrand Piccard. “Our alliance with ABB is a perfect match because we have

the same goal of improving the world by using energy more efficiently and con-serving natural resources.”

ABB hosts Swiss Vice President for talks on project initiatives for renewable energy

Swiss Vice President Doris Leuthard vi-sited ABB’s factory in Cibitung, West Java to discuss how ABB can support Indonesia’s renewable energy projects. Key topics of discussion included de-velopment of key energy projects in collaboration with local partners. This visit was as part of an official visit to President Joko Widodo of Indonesia and the country’s ministers which aimed at fostering greater trade relations between the two countries.

ABB provided an opportunity for a discussion on Indonesia’s renewable energy projects by facilitating a meeting with several key stakeholders including PLN and other business representatives in Indonesia. One of the important to-pics discussed included how ABB can support the country’s renewable ener-gy initiatives and PLN’s leading energy projects, as well as promoting stronger partnerships with the private sectors in Indonesia. Promising technologies are renewables-powered microgrids, which ABB is enabling in remote communities around the world.

The meeting with ABB and business partners comes as Indonesia embarks on plans to construct power plants, producing an additional 35,000 MW of

electricity by 2019. The program is also supporting the government’s target to increase the use of renewable energy by 23% in 2025. In this program, PLN will build 10,000MW, while the remaining 25,000MW will be offered to private sec-tors or often called Independent Power Producers (IPP).

The talks covered Indonesia’s challeng-es in infrastructure and expertise, areas where ABB can support the government and supply the communities across the country with stable and reliable electric-ity. ABB has a strong portfolio of products for renewable energy integration, distri-bution and automation solutions of inter- connected renewable energy sources that form local microgrids.

“With more than 125 years of experience in power technologies, ABB has clearly demonstrated exceptional expertise in delivering safe, reliable and efficient grid connections which play a key role in in-tegrating renewables. We are looking forward to contributing even stronger to Indonesia in providing the people access to clean electricity,” said Richard Led-gard, Country Managing Director of ABB in Indonesia.

The vice president and delegates also

visited ABB’s solar panel installation at the factory rooftop, for which ABB was commended for its strong commitment to clean and sustainable energy. The tour also included the MCB assembly process, key markets and application as well as the stringent safety proce-dures that the delegates took particular interest in. Rounded off the tour was a visit to ABB’s demonstration room for a presentation on ABB’s energy-efficient solution for buildings such as KNX sys-tems.

ABB has been involved in several re-newable energy projects in Indonesia.

ABB to support growing data centers business in Indonesia

Keeping with the rapid development of Indonesia’s data centers industry, ABB’s data center solutions offering is helping ensure their safe, efficient and reliable operation in prominent industries.

The advancement of information and in-dustrial technology in Indonesia has been growing rapidly since 2012. Moreover, with the Indonesian government’s plan for an e-commerce roadmap requiring local data centers for security purposes, it is no surprise that the demand for data centers in Indonesia is rising across vari-ous industries, creating more opportuni-ties for technology providers. A growing number of private and public busines-ses, from banks and insurance compa-nies to telecommunications and internet providers, all have critical infrastructure and information in data centers. Gathe-ring, storing and managing data requires maximum operating reliability.

Data centers are expected to per-form well, the power supply needs to be reliable, equipped with an efficient cooling system, noise-free and without significant interruptions. This is the main responsibility for all technology providers that provide data centers for the enter-prises they support. ABB is a supplier of electrical devices and systems for data centers that has dealt with “critical po-wer” in all respects and in all sectors for decades.

In building the most reliable and efficient data centers, technology providers re-quire to manage three main components: IT systems, facility equipment and elec-trical systems. No matter how robust or technically advanced the IT systems and facility equipment are if the electrical sys-tem capabilities are inadequate for the task. ABB Decathlon provides the visibili-ty, decision support, and centralized mo-nitoring and controls to better manage data center operations enterprise-wide. With Decathlon, data centers can deliver services faster, in the most reliable and efficient way possible.

Over the past few years, ABB has been involved in the construction of data cen-

ters for some technology providers in Indonesia. In 2013, ABB partnered with one of the country’s leading integrated end-to-end ICT solutions companies to supply electrical components for their data centers. In this project, ABB sup-plied protection panels for low voltage (LV), medium voltage (MV) and transfor-mers to protect the electrification and to adjust the level of correct voltage.

“The significant potential and growth of data centers industry in Indonesia have caught the eyes of both local and inter-national IT and data center providers. While most Indonesians are looking to overcome the many challenges of this growing industry, ABB provides the so-lutions to partner up with data center providers for greater competences,” said Richard Ledgard, Country Managing Di-rector, ABB in Indonesia

Globally, ABB has installed the world’s most powerful direct current (DC) data centers in Switzerland at the Green Data Center Zurich–West facility, which earned Europe’s notable Watt d’Or award for the scale of the energy savings achieved through its pioneering use of DC technology. In this project, ABB de-signed and installed an advanced, DC power distribution system in a new sta-te-of-the-art data center. DC technology trims power conversion losses and is 10 to 20 percent more energy efficient than

traditional alternating current (AC) tech-nology when used for electrical distributi-on in data centers.

“Data centers is already considered as a complex system that requires in-depth but at the same time multifunctional skills. ABB is the right partner to all data center providers to continue giving the best for the enterprises they support,” said Sutrisno Sutedjo, Manager of Con-trol Technologies business, ABB in Indo-nesia.

As a global leader in the field of data centers, ABB is committed to providing the safest, most reliable and efficient products for Indonesia’s data centers industry. Through complete, smart data centers solutions, ABB provides po- wer, monitoring, control and automation, and helps customers to realize the intel-ligence of their key infrastructure com-ponents.

The conference and expo was the prominent gathering that was attended by digital in-frastructure professionals, local and glo-bal IT and data centers community.

As the Internet of Things, Smart Cities, Big Data and Cloud drive more and more data processing requirements it is pre-dicted by 2020, there will be zettabytes of data generated by more than billions connected devices. It has also calculated that to process the world’s data require-ments using today’s infrastructure would consume all the energy in the world. We know that it is impossible, thus we need to continuously innovate at every level of the data centers stack. The deployment of data centers has been more complex as we need to collide two worlds of phy-sical infrastructure and logical architec-ture with more holistic approach to crea-te sustainable data center eco-system. Meeting the needs of the enterprise data center community of end-users and ope-rators, this event emphasized on the in-creasingly complex and heterogeneous mission-critical data center environment.

“The opportunity is huge in Indonesia, thus, ABB will support the growth of data centers industry by sharing to the cus-tomers regarding complete, smart data centers solutions ABB has offered,” said Sutrisno Sutedjo, ABB‘s manager for Control Technology business in Indone-sia.

Leadership style is not by gender

The world of human resources has named her to be one of heroines of In-donesia’s electrical engineering industry. Meike sees a lot of things that can still be done by women in Indonesia, in respond-ing to opportunities in this particular in-dustry sector. How does Meike response to this?

When she chose human resources as her career, Meike Hanny Setia believed that this was the area she aimed to be suc-ceed, having a support from her family too. Meike has been working in this field for seventeen years by now and currently holds the position as country HR ma-nager for PT ABB Sakti Industri.

PT ABB Sakti Industri is an integral part of ABB Group, a leader in power and au-tomation technologies that enable utility, industry, and transport and infrastructure customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in roughly 100 countries. ABB in Indonesia started its operation in the 1980s.

Meike joined ABB two years ago. “I joined ABB as I see electrical engineering indus-try is very interesting and holds a huge unfolded potential, especially when we still have many isolated areas in Indone-sia, which have not yet been connected to electricity. Electrical engineering com-panies, like ABB, have certainly unique

position to contribute in supporting In-donesia government to provide electricity for the people,” she said when meeting Listrik Indonesia in her office recently.

Meike is in the opinion that one of the biggest challenges in terms of human resources is the limited number of the people specializing in electrical engineer-ing. “There is a research from one of engi-neering associations, stating that Indone-sia is still lacking of electrical engineers. The demand from industries is far bigger than the number of electrical engineering graduates,” she added.

Meike sees that it is a very unfortunate, especially when Indonesia has a great op-portunity to grow bigger but hindered by limited human resources.

As part of a global company, ABB in Indo-nesia has certainly guidelines and strate-gy for developing its employees, set by its headquarter, however locally the compa-ny will always fulfil the local requirement.

“For example, when our employees are required to be certified locally for their competence, we will always fulfill the re-quirement. We will continue enhance our employees’ skills, in terms of technical and managerial skills,” she added.

The government’s initiated project of 35,000 mW shall open more business opportunities for ABB, especially career

opportunities for the people in Indonesia.

“At ABB, we have developed several recruitment programs, to attract expe-rienced professionals and fresh gradu-ates. One of the program is named GEP (Graduate Engineering Program). GEP trainees are fresh graduates engineers who are assigned on rotation basis at dif-ferent business units within ABB, includ-ing international posting at one appointed country. This way, they are able to gain experience and exposure working with the people with different culture and envi-ronment,” she said.

No gender Meike holds a bachelor degree in Psy-chology from University of Indonesia (UI) and a master degree in Management from PPM Business School.

Meike does not agree that the leadership style of a person is determined by gender. She understands a common assumption that says male is more assertive while female is much more meticulous. “I do not agree with leadership style based on gender. Leadership style is mostly deter-mined by the character of each individ-ual, organizational culture and teamwork itself,” added Meike, the mother of three children.

Meike also emphasized one of the factors that mostly influent women’s leadership style is the social culture.

“The social pressure for women in In-donesia is typically higher than for men. Women are expected to be responsible in managing their family, whilst pursuing their career and being active in the com-munities. This is where we as women have to find ways to keep them all bal-anced,” she added.

Having been working for various indus-tries, Meike sees that the career oppor-tunities for women, particularly in engi-neering, are more open nowadays. Many companies, including ABB, no longer see gender as a main concern.

“For example, when we post a job va-

cancy, we do not put gender requirement – whether it suits to male or female appli-cant. Both have the same opportunities. It is their competencies that will deter-mine the success,” she said.

At ABB, the proportion between male and female applicants is 80%-20%. Ide-ally, these numbers should be balanced, but then again, it all comes back to the availability of the engineer graduates in the market.

“For some work environment, gender dif-ferences have often become challenge for female employees, but I believe once people see our true capabilities, they will assess us objectively, dismissing gen-der differences,” she added. Personally, Meike has never experienced any gender discrimination in the workplace and will strive to continue working professionally.

As the electrification business continues growing in Indonesia, Meike hopes that we will able to see increasing quality and quantity of human resources in Indonesia.

“It would be a pity if we have to keep relying on foreign employees, whilst this would be a good opportunity for us, In-donesians, to gain experience and also a better income,” she said. Meike encour-ages young generation to take electrical engineering majors, as it has a huge ca-reer opportunity for both male and female.

For female employees, Meike advises to always enhance their competence so as to achieve a higher position in their ca-reers and be the decision makers in the electrical engineering industry sector.

Meike feels blessed to have a good sup-port from her family. “For me, stepping up the career ladder is nice, but it is also important to keep it balanced with family. Each family has their own challenge, we have to be wise in compromising and set-ting our priority,” she said. Meike believes that productivity is very much related to family.

“I always do my best to manage my time. When I’m at work, I focus on completing my tasks, and when I’m at home, my fo-cus is completely on my family. However, I’m always reachable by phone. I must have a good quality time with my family,” she added closing the interview.

ABB’s manufacturing expansion includes education

Over 80 students from Electrical Engi-neering Department of Catholic University of Atmajaya (UNIKA Atmajaya), Jakarta, visited Medium Voltage (MV) products factory in Tangerang, on April 1, 2016. The visit covered an in-class discussion and a factory tour.

ABB opened the discussion session with an introduction to the organization and business operation, globally and par-ticularly in Indonesia. Furthermore, ABB also elaborated the world of opportunities that ABB has to offer to fresh graduates, which led to an invitation of combining intelligence and integrity with global mo-bility and energy. Students actively raised questions and shared comments that made the session turned into an interac-tive discussion.

The afternoon session brought students to the most anticipated agenda of the visit i.e factory tour. However, before the stu-dents came to directly see the manufac-turing processes, they were introduced to various technical details related to process cycles of production. They were

also briefed about safety that should be duly noted when visiting the facility. The tour covered the assembly and testing area, including staging area. During this tour, students showed keen interest on the switchgear production process, ap-plication and key markets, as well as the stringent safety procedures.

“ABB seeks to contribute, not only to Indonesia’s power and automation op-portunities, but also the advancement of education. Facilitating student visit to ABB and providing internship program are among the opportunities we offer to educational development in Indonesia, while maintaining close ties to universities and being involved in various educational initiatives,” said Frisna Priscilla, Marketing Communications Lead of Power Grids and Electrification Products Medium Volt-age business in Indonesia.
