Industrial Automation

Transforming Industrial Performance with Advanced Control

Industrial automation connects control, sensing and operational data for steel and heavy-industry processes. Depending on the application, PLC- and DCS-based systems, edge devices and SCADA platforms coordinate operations such as melting, casting, rolling and thermal treatment.

Sensor technology, real-time data acquisition and diagnostics provide information for condition monitoring and maintenance planning. Drive and motion-control systems can be configured for material handling and positioning under the temperature, load and mechanical conditions of the plant.

Standardized interfaces and data views help operators assess process conditions and response needs. The integration scope and performance targets are defined for each installation.

Here are some project examples:

PLC with modular input and output units

PLC Control

Our developers are familiar with Siemens S7 PLC systems of the 1200, 1500, 300 and 400 families. For smaller automation systems we use Codesys.   

Motor and drive assemblies on industrial machinery

Drive Systems for Continuous Material

Synchronized drive technology with tension control coordinates multiple drive axes in lines that process steel coils, paper rolls and plastic films. The control can respond to load changes, material properties and changing process conditions. The required tension, positioning and quality targets depend on the line design.

Low Voltage Switchgear

Low-voltage switchgear distributes electrical power to plant equipment. Our solutions combine protection technology, modular design and communication interfaces for integration with automation and energy systems.

Operator interface showing process values and controls

HMI Systems

Our WinCC-based client/server HMI systems support plant-wide visualization and control. The platform combines central data management, configurable redundancy options, communication interfaces, user management and diagnostic functions. The configuration is defined for each plant architecture.

PCS 7 architecture with operator stations, server and controllers

Process Control with PCS7

With PCS 7, we design and commission process-control systems for industrial applications. Depending on the project, architectures can include redundant controllers, flexible I/O structures and integrated safety functions.

We connect drives, field devices, HMI systems and MES/ERP interfaces according to the plant’s requirements. Our engineering and commissioning teams support modernization projects in steel, heavy industry, energy and material handling; availability and operating results depend on the approved design and conditions.

Industrial drive control cabinets

Drive Upgrades

We modernize drive systems, change from DC to AC drives etc.
