First, the company would replace the I/O modules and migrate them to a newer system. It needed a new I/O system that was open and modular and could be scaled for future growth. Second, the brewer had an aggressive goal to migrate each remote I/O panel during one eight-hour period of scheduled downtime — a process that can normally take several days. To help ensure that the upgrade was completed in the scheduled eight-hour period, Rockwell Automation and Asia Pacific Breweries approached this project with a pilot and ran a “dress rehearsal” of the planned upgrade.
