| At the C. & A. Veltins brewery in Grevenstein, the Swiss Siemens Automation Solution Provider bürge-fischer AG used ten Simatic S7-400 automation systems to modernize the pallet transport with 1,071 conveyor elements. This, the most powerful of the Simatic controllers, is, in many senses, a gain for Veltins. It optimizes the material flow, offers innovative material flow monitoring, and can be extended as needed thanks to its modularity. Using the communication module CP 443-1 IT, the brewery can save time and money by using remote maintenance through the Internet. more |
