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
