Case study shows how SNAP-PAC-R1 controllers still help companies that require reliable digital and analog control.

As a subscriber to the OptoBlog, you know the importance of new edge technology like groov EPIC controllers and groov RIO edge I/O.

But do you have experience using Opto 22's SNAP PAC system? These "legacy" controllers are still going strong, and Opto 22 is committed to supporting and designing these products for your past, current, and future projects.

Hear from Opto 22 distributor System Devices UK as they recently shared a customer success story featuring SNAP PAC.

This new case study features Simpson Malt—and how a SNAP-PAC-R1 controller is turning their traditionally labor-intensive malting process into a more automated, observable, and consistent operation. 

You'll learn:

  • Why precise control of temperature, timing, moisture, and airflow matters to malt quality
  • How SNAP PAC automation reduces the need for manual intervention—with control, monitoring, I/O processing, communication, and data acquisition all in one controller
  • How operators use a visual dashboard for quick decision making and adjustments

Whether you work in food and beverage manufacturing, process automation, or any industry where precise control matters, this case study offers a practical example of how automation can make a measurable difference.
