About The Customer
Goglio Group, based in Northern Italy, is a leading multinational company in the packaging sector. The company offers complete services that combine all aspects of the packaging process in an integrated system. Goglio provides a 360° service, supported by the group’s commitment to innovation, which focuses on optimizing processes and meeting the specific packaging needs for various sectors: coffee, food, industrial products, detergents, pet food and aseptic products. This makes Goglio the partner of some of the world’s most important industrial companies; always recognized for the innovation, service and quality of its products.
The Challenge
Goglio Group, a leading multinational company in the packaging sector, was facing a significant challenge in consolidating its IT security. The company needed to save time and resources, better protect confidential customer data shared between branches, achieve real-time zero-day protection from the latest security threats, and guarantee the security of customers’ sensitive data. Goglio has a data center in Varese, with dual connectivity (fiber optic and radio). Initially, all data lines for internet access from the European sites converged in the Varese headquarters. Goglio needed an Internet connection in every location, each protected by a separate firewall, but all managed centrally by its IT team. The company was looking for a solution that would help them improve the security of their data and that of their customers, in an agile way, achieve real-time protection and maintain governance and control in Varese.
The Solution
Goglio chose the Check Point 5400 and 1500 Series Next Generation Security Gateway, replacing all devices from other vendors, alongside the Check Point Next Generation Threat Prevention & SandBlast (NGTX) software suite, providing comprehensive protection from any kind of threat. The Check Point solution can scale alongside future developments in the IT infrastructure and the groups’ overall business development. The solution is managed via a unified security management platform, which provides a single view of all threats, devices, users and reports across the whole company, in real-time. Part of the monitoring is delegated to Elmec, which means Goglio’s IT staff require little time to invest in managing cyber security issues. Goglio is planning further development of the new infrastructure, including connecting other sites outside of Europe with the same level of efficiency and security.

IoT Data Analytics Case Study - Packaging Films Manufacturer
The company manufactures packaging films on made to order or configure to order basis. Every order has a different set of requirements from the product characteristics perspective and hence requires machine’s settings to be adjusted accordingly. If the film quality does not meet the required standards, the degraded quality impacts customer delivery causes customer dissatisfaction and results in lower margins. The biggest challenge was to identify the real root cause and devise a remedy for that.

Zenon the Ideal Basis for An Ergonomic HMI
KHS develops and produces machines and equipment for filling and packaging in the drinks industry. Because drinks manufacturing, filling and packaging consist of a number of highly complex processes, the user-friendly and intuitive operation of equipment is increasingly gaining in significance. In order to design these processes as simple as possible for the user, KHS decided to introduce a uniform, transparent and standardized solution to the company. The HMI interface should meet the requirement for people with different qualifications and enable them to work on a standard platform.

Sparks Dynamics Assists Atlas Container Secure a $15,000 BGE Energy Rebate
The ReMASTER Compressed Air Monitoring system was installed in 2015. This system is capable of monitoring compressed air system parameters on a continuous basis and transferring that information to a cloud server which can be accessed by Atlas Container personnel, Industrial Diagnostics and Sparks Dynamics. This information was collected into a database which can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet or displayed graphically using Sparks Dynamics ViewMaster Software. The average annual compressed air electricity expense was estimated to be approximately $116,000. This is based on an incremental $/KWh electric rate of $.091 per KWh and an estimated compressed air energy consumption of 1,279,200 KWH. The implementation phase of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) for the Compressed Air System included: • Identification and repair of compressed air leaks • Understanding of compressed air usage per manufacturing machine and installation of shut off valves when the machines are no longer in production mode • Identification of misapplications of compressed air to include blow offs, venturis, and cooling scenarios • Understand system pressure requirements and potential installation of point of use pressure regulation.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Mondi Implements Statistics-Based Health Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
The extrusion and other machines at Mondi’s plant are large and complex, measuring up to 50 meters long and 15 meters high. Each machine is controlled by up to five programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which log temperature, pressure, velocity, and other performance parameters from the machine’s sensors. Each machine records 300–400 parameter values every minute, generating 7 gigabytes of data daily.Mondi faced several challenges in using this data for predictive maintenance. First, the plant personnel had limited experience with statistical analysis and machine learning. They needed to evaluate a variety of machine learning approaches to identify which produced the most accurate results for their data. They also needed to develop an application that presented the results clearly and immediately to machine operators. Lastly, they needed to package this application for continuous use in a production environment.
