"Ending the Isolation" - 
Rockwool continues Production Integration by employing WinCC

 
The Danish rock wool manufacturer Rockwool International A/S is undertaking another important step towards the production standardization of its 23 worldwide plants. At the production plant in Caparroso, Spain, the decision for WinCC as the standard process visualization system was put into practice for the very first time. More than 50 PC-based operator stations monitor and visualize the complex production process controlled by 28 SIMATIC S7-400 PLCs. 
Next to functionality and reliability, the openness of the SCADA system was another important point for the specialists of Rockwool Engineering, since automation systems by other manufacturers are still used in some of the plants acquired from competitors.
