Abstract

A method (300) for increasing efficiency of a food production plant (100) is provided. The method comprises extracting (302) plant data (102) from a control system (104) of the food production plant (100), wherein the control system (104) is communicatively connected to control units (105a-e) placed in food production units (106 a-e) in the food production plant (100), generating (304) a digital model (108) of the food production plant (100) based on the plant data (102) extracted from the control system (104), wherein the digital model (108) comprises equipment objects (A-E) having actions (i-xii) linked thereto, connections (I-V) between the equipment objects (A-E), and series of actions linked to equipment object arrangements, downloading (306) a plant assistant library (110) comprising a number of assistant objects, each assistant object comprising an initial production scenario (112) comprising an initial series of actions linked to an initial equipment object arrangement, and a recommended production scenario (114) comprising a recommended series of actions linked to a recommended equipment object arrangement, wherein the recommended production scenario (114) provides for an increased efficiency of the food production plant (100) compared to the initial production scenario (112), identifying (308) a current equipment object arrangement in the digital model (108) that corresponds to the initial equipment object arrangement of the initial production scenario (112) of a matching assistant object (116), replacing (310) the current equipment object arrangement and a current series of activities linked to the current equipment object arrangement with the recommended equipment object arrangement and the recommended series of the matching assistant object in the digital model (108), transmitting (312) update data (118) corresponding to the recommended equipment object arrangement and the recommended series in the digital model (108) to the control system (104), updating (314) the food production plant (100) based on the update data (118).
