The introduction of the current "Streamline" container and carton conveyor system in 2010 forced the redesign of planning processes including the renewal of the software systems.
In the electrical system planning the combination of a software for creating circuit diagrams and MS Excel for pre-planning reached its limits.
At the end of the very thorough selection procedure, the choice went to the lifecycle engineering and plant management software COMOS by Siemens.
"COMOS helps us to significantly increase the degree of automation in engineering."
Jörg Bergmann, Director Engineering & Manufacturing at the KNAPP AG
COMOS is based on an object-oriented approach, changes to objects are made centrally and are available for all users immediately.
COMOS offers comprehensive possibilities for active software development.
The engineering tasks provided by COMOS take over corresponding actions, such as the creation of circuit diagrams, automatically.
With COMOS the degree of automation was increased significantly – considerable time benefits could be achieved.
