GTH supports diverse food and beverage applications including machine control, thermal processes, and data analytics. Our automation solutions integrate PLCs, SCADA, OEE, and instrumentation to improve product quality, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Machine Control
Machine control is more critical than ever. Modern systems are more efficient and reliable, minimizing the change of downtime. We can automate and update your controls and software to help you do more, with less!
Thermal Processes
Whether you are using electric or gas heat, we can retrofit your equipment to work more efficiently. We are also familiar with regulations around safety and emissions to ensure you stay compliant.
Data Analytics
Collecting, storing, and analyzing data in food & beverage is critical. With SCADA and OEE software, you have access to real-time monitoring and predictive analysis to help you make better decisions for your operation.
Process Instrumentation
Through our relationships with leading manufacturers, we specify and supply quality field instrumentation including transmitters, flow meters, analytical devices, and process instrumentation to support reliable and efficient food & beverage operations.
OUR SOLUTIONS
PLC modernization, process system design, and SCADA solutions support efficient, compliant food and beverage operations, enabling real-time visibility, improved performance, and reliable production across new and existing lines.
PLC Modernization
GTH modernizes PLC systems to reduce downtime and improve security while preserving existing investments. Our field engineers support upgrades, migrations, software conversions, FAT, and commissioning for smooth, low-risk transitions.
System Process Design
GTH designs and modernizes food and beverage control systems, from process upgrades to new production lines. With decades of software expertise, UL 508A panel shops, and OEM partnerships, we deliver custom automation solutions.
Data Acquisition and SCADA
GTH modernizes SCADA systems with IIoT capabilities to support 21 CFR Part 11 and ISA 88 compliance, improve efficiency, enable APM and predictive maintenance, and deliver real-time visibility, reporting, and remote access across food and beverage operations.
Their history as a distributor, with specific knowledge about a breadth of parts, seems to lead to extensive knowledge about how to design and build a control system.
Definitely the speed of development was key. We were in a time crunch with this aspect of development. They get the work done quickly and they helped us choose the tradeoffs that made the most sense.
If we have design needs, they can take care of those too. This is great because we can cover a range of projects with GTH.
We have such an overall positive experience with GTH. The number one thing for us is communication. We need to be able to get across problems/ issues and resolve them quickly. Their open communication makes that easy.

Food & Beverage FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our services, processes, and expertise to help you better understand how GTH supports your operation.-
How can automation improve consistency in food and beverage production?
Automation helps maintain precise control of process variables such as temperature, mixing speed, and ingredient ratios. By maintaining consistent process parameters across batches and production runs, automated control systems help manufacturers improve product quality and reduce variability.
-
How can food and beverage manufacturers modernize aging control systems?
Many production facilities operate with legacy PLC platforms and outdated control software. Modernization projects typically involve upgrading PLC hardware, implementing modern SCADA systems, and improving data visibility while preserving existing equipment to minimize downtime and disruption.
-
What role does automation play in thermal process control?
Thermal processes such as baking, cooking, sterilization, and drying require precise temperature control and monitoring. Automation systems integrate instrumentation, safety controls, and process logic to ensure consistent thermal performance while supporting safety and regulatory requirements.
-
How can production data improve food and beverage operations?
Modern automation systems collect production data that helps manufacturers track efficiency, identify bottlenecks, and improve throughput. Tools such as SCADA and OEE software provide real-time insights that allow teams to make informed operational decisions.
-
How can manufacturers reduce downtime in food and beverage production?
Downtime often occurs due to outdated controls, equipment failures, or lack of system visibility. Automation upgrades, improved diagnostics, and preventative maintenance programs help identify potential issues early and support more reliable production operations.
