Monitoring and control: Wegenstein faced the challenge of precisely monitoring and controlling filling quantities based on their existing capacity to avoid additional pumping processes, idle times, or unnecessary downtimes.
Manual entries: The company wanted to eliminate the need for manual entries, such as fill levels, temperature, or filtration, to save time and avoid input errors.
Central control and overview: Wegenstein needed a central control system that could provide constant monitoring and overview of the entire tank farm, including difficult-to-access elements.
Remote access and maintenance: The company desired options for remote access and remote maintenance of the system.
Scalability: Wegenstein wanted a solution that could grow with the company's success in the future.
To face the objectives of Wegenstein several Retrofit and Modernization Services were implemented by Siemens service experts into the tank farm:
Modernization of tank sensor and pump systems SIMATIC ET 200SP and SINAMICS.
Installation of a SIMATIC S7-1500 as central control system.
"It is important to us that we continue to work with a company that will be able to support us in the future thanks to its consistency - both in terms of the company and its products and solutions."
Christian Frank, Head of Winery, Wegenstein
This allows precise monitoring and control of filling quantities, reducing pumping processes, idle times, and downtimes.
Elimination of manual entries: Through comprehensive digitalization, Wegenstein no longer needs manual entries for fill levels, temperature, or filtration. This saves time and eliminates input errors.
Central control and overview: The implementation of the central control system provides Wegenstein with constant monitoring and an overview of the entire tank farm. Parameters such as fill levels, temperature, flow rates, and filtrations can be easily accessed.
A mobile app and remote access options allow connectivity and remote maintenance.
Scalability: The solution implemented by Siemens service experts offers scalability, allowing the system to grow with Wegenstein's future success.
