Agricultural machinery production depends on continuous control of machining, welding, painting and assembly lines. When each process operates in isolation, manufacturers face delays, inconsistent quality and rising operational costs. To solve these challenges, plants deploy an automation and monitoring system for agricultural machinery plants that unifies equipment data, tracks energy use and provides real time visibility across the entire production flow. With a centralized platform, manufacturers reduce downtime, improve line stability and maintain a higher level of process efficiency.
A leading agricultural machinery manufacturer based in Eastern Europe operates multiple large-scale plants producing combine harvesters, press-forming equipment, and casting components.The company also supplies heat, electricity, and other types of energy to more than 70 industrial consumers in its region.
As a registered energy-supplying organization and the owner of a 110 kV substation, the company was required by regulation to implement an automated system for energy data collection, transmission, and remote control in compliance with the regional dispatch center’s technical requirements.
The organization needed a unified, standards-compliant automation and monitoring platform capable of meeting dispatch center requirements, ensuring data transparency, and improving operational control across its facilities.
After evaluating multiple options, the company adopted CENTO as the core software platform to establish a single supervisory and data acquisition ecosystem.
CENTO provided the flexibility to integrate directly with industrial measurement devices and controllers, enabling the creation of both:
The deployment was built around a distributed network of SATEC, WAGO, and URZA controllers, connected through the enterprise LAN, redundant communication channels, and a fiber link to the dispatch center.
CENTO’s modular software enabled the company to centralize data visualization, alarm management, and remote control functions, all within a unified interface.
The implementation delivered a fully integrated system that combined dispatch-level information exchange and local telemechanics management on a single platform and set of measurement devices.
Key results include:
Over multiple project stages (2020–2024), the company successfully expanded the CENTO platform to include energy data collection, automated energy accounting, and enterprise-level supervisory control.
As a result, the enterprise now benefits from a scalable, compliant, and transparent infrastructure for managing both external energy interactions and internal consumption, laying the foundation for future digital transformation of its energy operations.
