Kraft Foods
The Challenge:
Pioneering the deployment of reliable computing technology in an environment that regularly requires sanitation washdowns
Ensuring workstation designs facilitated the eventual need for maintenance and technological upgrades
Devising safe and simple mounting solutions that meet the localized challenges of installing workstations where needed on the plant floor
The Story:
In the 1990s, Kraft General Foods (now Kraft Heinz Co.) was rethinking running their business entirely via pencil and paper on a clipboard. They envisioned the efficiency they could achieve by running SAP in real-time within their processing areas. With the rise of the multi-user, multi-tasking OS that is the basis of all computing technology today, Kraft saw an opportunity to outpace their competitors by computerizing their production scheduling, recipe management and quality assurance applications. Hewlett Packard (HP, Inc.) was brought on to provide their X-Terminal and PC products. They teamed with applications software providers to meet Kraft’s technological needs and chose Modular to protect it all with integrated display/computing workstations meeting NEMA 4X rating requirements.
The Solution:
Polished Stainless Steel NEMA 4X enclosures with durable viewscreens and a keyboard valet for keyboard and mouse
Simple lift-off door hinges promote ease of maintenance and replacement
Rain guttered door frame design prevents water from running into the enclosure when the door is opened
Compression latches create a reliable seal against door gaskets
Sealed cable glands for all interconnects
PC and monitor mounts designed for simple removal/replacement to facilitate field maintenance and repair when required
Various mounting solutions allow the workstations to be attached to walls, installed on pedestals fixed to the plant floor, or rolling carts for temporary station set-ups when necessary
The Results:
The long-term reliability of Modular’s workstations solidified an ongoing relationship with both HP and Kraft. 30 years later, Modular still supplies Kraft with HP Inc. Workstations as well as a host of other technologies, including Large Panel Displays, Printer Enclosures, Instrumentation Enclosures and Custom Enclosures for use in their food and beverage processing operations. Kraft’s example of applying computerized technology to one of the largest Food Processing/Manufacturing Companies in the United States was followed by other giants in the industry, resulting in computerization becoming integral to success in the industry.
