NEUERO employs multiple operating units during both the transport and unloading processes, so that its personnel always have the necessary overview. By combining mobile and stationary operating units, NEUERO ensures that its employees on and around the crane always have an optimal view of the process. Because the equipment is used in very different climatic zones all over the world, all systems have to be rugged, and easy to operate and maintain.  
Objectives: 

• Safe maintenance and control 
• Consistent solution for distributed architecture 
• Simple, standardized system for control and operation  

NEUERO has found SIMATIC HMI devices to be a rugged, user-friendly system that facilitates the reliable and precise operation of its plants.
NEUERO realized the entire automation of its ship unloaders with components from Siemens. A SIMATIC S7-1500 Controller controls and monitors all the processes in the equipment. The HMI devices in the two cabins as well as the mobile HMI device come from the SIMATIC HMI family. The mobile device can be connected through a connection box mounted on either the running gear or the superstructure, so that the personnel can call all status and diagnostic data easily. This flexible operating concept ensures efficient service and maintenance.
