Recognize your benefits:
- Perform root cause analysis with an intuitive UX
- Use historical data for training sessions
- Educate new staff within a real HMI environment
- Optimize your HMI design with user feedback
- Review all relevant SCADA screens from the same production batch
GEA Codex® Plant Playback is, in essence, a piece of software that serves as an industrial video recorder. Providing a reliable production history of the whole or parts of the plant, the entire content of SCADA screens can be recorded, even without human intervention.
With functionalities including rewind, pause, time lapse or slow motion, the recordings can be used to verify and optimize workflows, identify dependencies and operational root causes with ease. The acquired knowledge is subsequently available for training sessions, troubleshooting and process optimization.
The software is currently available for several architectures with market leading platforms (check availability with GEA). In short, GEA Codex® Plant Playback operates as an entire plant history recording, enabling you to rewind and monitor previous plant activity, view past mimic screens and improve analyses.

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.
