• High level of confidence required for the OEM Interpane
• Major challenge posed by the initial conversion of the coating plant to Siemens components

lIn cooperation with its strategic partner Interpane E & B, AGC Glass Europe has commissioned a new plant in Klin, Russia, for coating energy-efficient flat glass.

• Power distribution based on Siemens NXAIR and low-voltage distribution based on Sivacon 8 PV switchgear
• Use of Simatic ET200M decentralized modules with Safety Integrated Profibus or Profinet network connection for all components
• Automation solution based on Simatic PCS 7
• Migration to Siemens technology coordinated through superior project management, hardware and software engineering, cabling, installation, and commissioning
