GEA Codex® Enterprise Connect provides seamless integration between the operations department and the factory floor manufacturing system. Production orders and bills of materials (BOMs) can be downloaded to the control system from the customer’s ERP system. In addition, real-time updates on material stock levels and item production numbers can be sent to the ERP system.
GEA Codex® Enterprise Connect provides an interconnected business-to-automation environment that functions as a manufacturing execution system (MES)-level broker and delivers multifunctional data for a variety of applications.
Recognize your benefits:
- Multiple data transmission interfaces — including REST API, Database Messaging, and XML files — can be used to exchange information with various external systems, such as ERP, LIMS (laboratory information management system) or WMS (warehouse management system)
- Data synchronization provides a comprehensive view of operations including production orders, material availability, machine status and quality control
- Reduced dependency on manual entries enhances overall data integrity
- Enhanced production planning and scheduling eliminates process bottlenecks with faster and more accurate information
- Streamlined production order fulfillment ensures an efficient process from order to delivery
- Increased data-driven decision making: by combining information from different systems, organizations gain valuable insights and achieve shorter reaction times for business decisions.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
