Future-proof & high performance
By modernizing the plant control system for finger cart systems, wet side, and dry side, we ensure future-proof and high-performance control of your plant.
Your benefits
The upgrade of the machine control system and safety technology for the wet side offers numerous benefits for the customer resulting from the conversion. The implementation of Siemens TIA and PROFINET ensures a future-proof and robust control system. The new control technology results in faster and more efficient production, thereby increasing the production output. The updated systems enable more precise and user-friendly adjustments of production parameters. Additionally, the enhanced safety concept uses cutting edge technology and provides better protection for personnel.
Improved diagnostic functions also minimize downtime, simplify repairs, and enhance overall system availability. The new HESS statistics function provides a detailed assessment and analysis of the production data. A steady supply of spare parts for the new components ensures minimal downtime and allows for quick repairs in case of a malfunction. The new control system allows for a thorough analysis of operating data through the updated HESS statistics function, which records and stores all relevant production data, including production quantities and downtimes, in a Microsoft SQL database.
Furthermore, the new process visualization allows for user-friendly operation and parameter adjustment, enabling changes to operating data in automatic mode without needing to stop the machine
