CFT had previously chosen customized weighing boards; however, those are not easily integrated in automation systems and rare on the spare parts market. Consequently, CFT has decided to rely on Siemens' automation technology that is fully capable of communicating with the new electronic instrumentation. 

The seamless integration and processing of the weighing electronics and automation systems has convinced CFT of the efficiency, accuracy, flexibility of Siemens solutions.

A Siemens engineering platform brings together all processes. Communication between multiple devices, accurate diagnostics, functional security, performance in movement, weighing accuracy, machine logic, operator control and command: all of these operations are handled via the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal.
