Our References and Applications
Examples for your possibilities.
Efficiency, performance, reliability. Whether you go for a SIMATIC Box PC, Rack PC or Panel PC - our industrial PCs form the optimum basis for your PC-based automation solution and are intelligently supplemented by our human machine interface (HMI) solutions. Be it operation, system representation, alarm management, measured value archiving and recipe management - with our SIMATIC HMI operating devices, you are granted full control.
Convince yourself: The following example applications from various sectors prove the manifold possibilities of our SIMATIC PCs.
Fitness training for 16-axes stretch bending machine
The smooth disappearance of a car window into the door may possibly be a result
of the precision with which the respective guide rails were manufactured from an
aluminum profile. Stretch bending machines as those manufactured by Lewa
Attendorn GmbH situated in Attendorn/Germany are responsible for this precision
work. Lately, the company has been upgrading their universal stretch bending
machines with a high-performing duo for control, operation and monitoring. On an
industrially suitable panel PC, the Soft PLC WinAC RTX assumes control tasks in realtime, while ProTool/Pro assures a clear visualization of the process programs comprising up to 6,000 values. 
From Wolfsburg to Changchun - Standardized operator station solutions for the VW bodyshell production
Together with Siemens, the Volkswagen group has developed a company-spanning standard for operating and monitoring solutions within the scope of bodyshell production on the basis of SIMATIC. Particularly systems which require operation from several locations, the distributed concept demonstrates its strengths. The solution is based on the SIMATIC HMI operator station concept. The SIMATIC HMI operator
stations sold as customer-specific products combine an industrial PC, additional
operating elements, housing technology and, in the case of VW, also the WinCC software filling to form a turnkey operating solution.
Up to one million newspapers per hour
Rugged, durable and fast - these are the most important requirements placed upon SIMATIC PCs in a newspaper printing plant. As a multitude of communication modules is required for the plant's extensive data traffic, the powerful SIMATIC Rack PCs 840 with their large number of ISA and PCI slots were selected as first choice. For the control center, a SIMATIC Box PC 840 was employed as its compact design facilitated its direct installation in the operator console. It serves the recording of production data and assures an efficient remote control of the SIMATIC PCs. Thanks to the application of SIMATIC Rack PCs and Box PCs - with their high performance for the coordination of the offset rotation machines - now, up to one million newspapers per hour can be produced in single- and multi-color. Owing to their high system availability and the guaranteed spare parts availability over several years, these SIMATIC PCs furthermore contribute to the minimization of the overall plant's TCO (total cost of ownership).
Maximum handling capacity in the container terminal
Container terminals for the loading and unloading of ships must guarantee a smooth flow with maximum handling capacity. In this context, the SIMATIC Box PCs 840 form the hardware basis for these automated operating and monitoring systems. They also assure uninterrupted operation around the clock, even with high vibration and shock loads. Within a server/client architecture, the SIMATIC Box PCs share manifold tasks such as system visualization and communication with the PLC. Thanks to their monitoring of the entire system, they contribute to the minimization of downtimes in service cases. The general communication exchange within this architecture is realized via the Profibus, Ethernet, USB as well as serial and parallel interfaces integrated in the Box PC. The high performance of the Box PCs 840 furthermore facilitates a rapid data processing.
