Automation – Control & Visualization

An automated production system enables significant cost savings and time efficiency. The collected data also provides the opportunity to analyze and optimize processes. Tailored to your specific requirements, we develop automation concepts. The implementation of measurement, control, and regulation technology is precisely tailored to the needs of your system. Our efficient recipe management allows for optimized personnel deployment in production. The integration of the control system into existing or new ERP systems ensures that the data relevant to production can be centrally stored and analyzed. Our systems are equipped with remote maintenance modules, allowing malfunctions to be resolved through remote maintenance when needed.

From concept development to commissioning

Control concept

Especially at the beginning of the project, it is crucial to clarify the desired end goal. To assist you in this, we contribute our expertise even before the start of the project. Based on your wishes and requirements, we collaboratively develop a concept.
The flexibility of our control concept allows us to quickly respond to changes and integrate new requirements without having to rebuild the entire system. The control concepts can consist of various bus systems such as Profinet, ASi-Bus, or Profibus

Standardized modules

The software is tailored to your specific requirements, using standardized modules. The visualization system is precisely tailored to our modules. With the Human-Machine Interface (HMI), you always have an overview of the status of your system. With the Human-Machine Interface (HMI), you can immediately see whether your system is operating normally or if intervention is required. In this phase, we also have the flexibility to accommodate any specific customer requests. All functions are tested using our proprietary simulation before delivery.

Commissioning

During the commissioning, we „bring to life“ your system. Prior to this, we check for anomalies in the bus systems using specialized measuring devices. The commissioning includes checking the signals and parameterizing sensors and/or actuators. After successful commissioning, we offer you a customized training for operating the system as well as the necessary operating instructions for the system.

Commissioning

Production supervision

Upon customer request, we offer production supervision where the operating personnel are trained in plant operation. At the same time, potential optimization measures are identified, which can include aspects such as workflows, processes, or energy costs.

Remote Maintenance

Thanks to our remote maintenance option, we have the capability to assist you effectively from a distance in operating your system. In most cases, our experienced professionals can quickly help you resolve equipment malfunctions. This advanced method not only saves travel time but also helps to protect the environment by being CO²-neutral. We rely on efficient solutions to operate your systems smoothly and environmentally friendly.
