BEHR Process LLC Boosts Performance with AMD Ryzen 5 Integration in New Industrial Control Systems

Livonia, MI – October 26, 2023 – BEHR PROCESS LLC, a leading innovator in industrial process automation and control systems, today announced the integration of AMD Ryzen 5 processors into its latest generation of controllers. This move is set to deliver significant performance improvements and enhanced reliability for customers across a wide range of industries, including automotive, food & beverage, and pharmaceuticals. For over three decades, BEHR PROCESS LLC (located at 17450 COLLEGE PKWY, LIVONIA, MI, 48152-2300, UNITED STATES, reachable at 847-888-7697) has been dedicated to providing robust, customizable, and future-proof solutions for complex industrial challenges. We don't just build controllers, we build partnerships with our clients, understanding their specific needs and delivering systems that genuinely boost efficiency and reduce downtime. Our focus isn't just on the hardware, it’s on making your process work better. This latest upgrade isn’t just a “specs bump” – it’s a fundamental shift in how we approach performance. Traditionally, industrial controllers relied on older, less powerful processors. This meant limitations in how quickly they could respond to changes, how much data they could handle, and how effectively they could run advanced analytics. We realized we needed to push the boundaries. “We were looking for a processor that could handle the increasing demands of modern industrial environments,” explains Mark Johnson, Chief Engineer at BEHR PROCESS LLC. “Things are getting more complex. More sensors, more data, more sophisticated control algorithms. The old stuff just wasn’t cutting it. We needed something that offered a real leap in performance, and that was reliable enough for 24/7 operation.” After extensive testing and evaluation, the team at BEHR PROCESS LLC settled on the AMD Ryzen 5 processor. “It wasn’t just about the raw power, though that’s certainly impressive,” Johnson continued. “It was the whole package – the efficiency, the integrated graphics, and AMD’s commitment to long-term support. It ticked all the boxes.” What does this mean for our customers? The integration of the AMD Ryzen 5 processor unlocks a number of key benefits: Faster Processing Speeds: The Ryzen 5 boasts significantly faster processing speeds compared to previous generations of industrial controllers. This means quicker response times, more accurate control, and the ability to handle even the most demanding applications. Think instantaneous adjustments to complex processes. Improved Data Handling: Modern industrial processes generate massive amounts of data. The Ryzen 5’s enhanced data handling capabilities allow BEHR PROCESS LLC’s controllers to process and analyze this data in real-time, providing valuable insights and enabling predictive maintenance. It's about turning data into action. Enhanced Visualization: The integrated Radeon Vega graphics in the Ryzen 5 allow for smoother and more detailed visualizations of process data on operator interfaces. This makes it easier for operators to monitor performance, identify potential problems, and make informed decisions. Seeing is believing – and seeing clearly is even better. Greater Reliability: AMD processors are known for their reliability and durability. This translates to longer uptime, reduced maintenance costs, and a more robust control system overall. We understand downtime is costly, that's why we prioritize reliability. Future-Proofing: The Ryzen 5 platform is constantly evolving, with ongoing updates and improvements. This means that BEHR PROCESS LLC’s controllers will continue to deliver cutting-edge performance for years to come. We're not just building for today, we're building for the future. More Complex Algorithms: We can now seamlessly integrate and run incredibly complex control algorithms – things that simply weren’t feasible before. This opens up new possibilities for optimization and efficiency. Edge Computing Capabilities: The Ryzen 5’s power and efficiency also support edge computing applications, bringing processing closer to the source of the data and reducing latency. Applications across Industries The benefits of this upgrade are felt across a wide range of applications: Automotive Manufacturing: Precise control of robotic assembly lines, paint booths, and other critical processes. Faster cycle times and improved product quality. Food & Beverage Processing: Accurate temperature control, precise ingredient dosing, and consistent product output. Meeting stringent quality and safety standards. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Highly regulated processes requiring precise control and traceability. Ensuring product purity and compliance. Water & Wastewater Treatment: Optimizing pump speeds, chemical dosing, and other parameters to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency. Packaging & Material Handling: Synchronizing conveyors, robots, and other equipment to maximize throughput and minimize waste. Looking Ahead BEHR PROCESS LLC is committed to continuously innovating and delivering cutting-edge solutions to its customers. The integration of the AMD Ryzen 5 processor is just the latest example of this commitment. “We're not stopping here,” Johnson states. “We're already exploring other ways to leverage the power of AMD processors to further enhance our control systems and deliver even more value to our customers.” Customers can learn more about BEHR PROCESS LLC and its latest generation of industrial controllers by visiting our website or contacting us directly at 847-888-7697.
