Cybertrol Engineering

A large dairy manufacturer needed a more reliable way to manage pallet labeling, barcode verification, tracking, and ERP communication across its packaging operations.

Cybertrol implemented PalletWorks® to automate label generation, verify pallet data, reduce manual handling, and keep production information aligned between the plant floor and ERP.

This implementation example shows how the manufacturer created a more reliable and maintainable end-of-line packaging system with improved traceability and a configurable foundation for future enhancements.

Dairy Manufacturer Improves Pallet Labeling with PalletWorks See how Cybertrol used PalletWorks® to improve pallet labeling, barcode verification, tracking, and ERP integration for a dairy manufacturer.

Automation should make your plant easier to operate. Not more complicated.

Manufacturing facilities rarely become complex overnight. Over years of expansions, equipment upgrades, OEM additions, and modernization projects, it's easy to end up with disconnected control systems, aging OT infrastructure, inconsistent standards, and limited production visibility.

Plantwide automation helps bring it all together by standardizing control systems, strengthening OT infrastructure, and improving production visibility across the facility.

How do you modernize a Clean-in-Place (CIP) system without disrupting production?

A global animal health manufacturer partnered with Cybertrol to upgrade and standardize CIP operations across multiple process trains while improving traceability, reporting, and operator usability.

The project included:
✅ A unified SCADA platform for centralized monitoring
✅ Configurable CIP control supporting multiple recipes and circuits
✅ Modernized HMI screens designed around ISA-101 standards
✅ Automated alarm notifications and audit reporting
✅ Enhanced security, traceability, and historical data collection

The result was a scalable CIP platform that gives operators more control while supporting quality and compliance requirements.

Manufacturing system integration projects increasingly involve both operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) environments.

Production systems don't operate like traditional IT environments, and successful integration requires careful planning around uptime, cybersecurity, ownership, and system responsibilities.

Our latest blog discusses common IT/OT challenges, enterprise visibility, production reliability, and how we help manufacturers build systems that support both operations and business objectives.

Cybertrol Engineering has earned its 10th Rockwell Automation, Inc. System Integrator capability badge, achieving recognition for FactoryTalk® Optix Data Platform.

The capability was validated through a production implementation using FactoryTalk Optix integrated with our PalletWorks® end-of-line labeling and tracking solution at a beverage co-packer.

FactoryTalk Optix continues to expand how manufacturers approach visualization, edge data, and system integration across packaging and process applications.

Cybertrol CEO Ben Durbin and President Jeff Reust are in Baltimore this week for the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) 2026 Conference: Navigating Change, joining system integrators from across the industry to discuss today’s business and technology challenges and share practical strategies for what’s ahead.

As a long-time CSIA member and certified system integrator, Cybertrol values this event for its peer-driven collaboration, experience-based discussions, and shared best practices that help integration firms improve operations and adapt to changing demands.

This year’s conference includes sessions focused on leadership, workforce development, AI, digital transformation, operational strategy, and managing risk.

Our leadership team spent two days last week at a managers summit centered on how we operate and deliver for our clients.

The agenda included strategic planning, EOS and V/TO alignment, partnerships that expand capabilities, internal systems improvements, a continued emphasis on the optimal customer experience, forecasting and utilization, development of future leaders, and more.

Time away from day-to-day work created space to reinforce priorities and drive consistent ex*****on across the organization.

🌎 Earth Day highlights the role of real-time data in maintaining emissions compliance and control.

At a chemical facility, Cybertrol integrated emissions control (RTO) and powder production/dust collection systems into a unified data and control architecture. By connecting equipment, networks, and reporting, the site gained continuous visibility into emissions and dust collection performance.

Solution:
• OT networking and third-party equipment integration
• Data historization for continuous monitoring
• Automated alerts for out-of-spec conditions

Results:
• Clear, defensible performance records
• On-demand reporting
• Faster response to issues

Sustainable operations depend on connected systems, accurate data, and accessible reporting.

Day 1 at is underway.
We’re at Booth 627 demonstrating how control systems, MES, and plant-floor data are integrated into a unified architecture to improve traceability, consistency, and overall operational visibility.

If you’re looking for better insight into your processes, we offer multi-site batch and production reporting (cloud or on-premises) that brings batch, CIP, and production data into enterprise dashboards to create a standardized view across sites.
