Visualization and control of mill processes in the city of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

In the spring of 2009, a brand new mill was put into operation in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia. Grain silos are also part of the mill.

The control of the Ulaanbaatar mill's production processes is provided by a B&R X20CP3485-1 PLC with distributed I/O systems. In addition, two B&R PPC720 panel PCs with a 19-inch touch screen and Windows XP Embedded are installed on the wall in the control room.
