Substitution of a contact rail system for electric overhead monorail control

Reliable systems for harsh industrial use

Faster production processes

Implementation of a wireless solution via IWLAN

Robust SCALANCE W products for harsh environment, e.g. salt spray, foam cleansing agent

Faster access to control, now 0.5 seconds instead of 2 seconds. This permits a faster production process.

Rail system was replaced with IWLAN – i.e. no more wear, and no other costs / service necessary.

Commissioning was speedy because direct access via IWLAN on each electric overhead monorail conveyor saved much time.
