The main objective in automating the research equipment is to ensure flexibility among different research stations so that individual incubators can easily be adapted to specific customer requests. To be able to collect data even more efficiently and back it up reliably, the engineering phase has to be simplified and automated faster. 

To meet all challenges, the team uses an integrated and efficient combination of engineering software, HMI devices and control, comprising Comfort Panels and an ET 200, which are configured and interconnected in the overarching system, the TIA Portal.

Used Products:

• TIA Portal
• SIMATIC ET 200 systems for the control cabinet
• Comfort Panels
• PROFINET

Efficiency and flexibility are the focus of research at the University Hospital Würzburg. The research team at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg is currently working on restoring human organs from a patient’s own cells and has already achieved some initial major successes. It is a field where precision and the correct combination are decisive; that is why ultramodern equipment from Siemens is used to automate the plants.
