NEUERO Industrietechnik für Förderanlagen GmbH
NEUERO employs multiple operating units during both the transport and unloading processes, so that its personnel always have the necessary overview. By combining mobile and stationary operating units, NEUERO ensures that its employees on and around the crane always have an optimal view of the process. Because the equipment is used in very different climatic zones all over the world, all systems have to be rugged, and easy to operate and maintain.
Objectives:
Safe
maintenance and control
Consistent
solution for distributed architecture
Simple,
standardized system for control and operation
NEUERO has found SIMATIC HMI devices to be a rugged, user-friendly system that facilitates the reliable and precise operation of its plants.
NEUERO realized the entire automation of its ship unloaders with components from Siemens. A SIMATIC S7-1500 Controller controls and monitors all the processes in the equipment. The HMI devices in the two cabins as well as the mobile HMI device come from the SIMATIC HMI family. The mobile device can be connected through a connection box mounted on either the running gear or the superstructure, so that the personnel can call all status and diagnostic data easily. This flexible operating concept ensures efficient service and maintenance.
"The SIMATIC systems give us a flexible platform for automation and visualization, which enables us to implement almost every task efficiently."
Michael Lepper, mechatronics technician at NEUERO
The mobile HMI device can be protected by storing it in an air-conditioned container; for service and maintenance activities it is then simply plugged into the connection box and is ready for immediate use.
Intuitive operation thanks to the integrated system and standardized layout of the screen contents on all HMI devices.
Standardized engineering of the PLC program and visualization combined with use of the same tools for diagnostics, fine tuning and service enables efficient implementation and simplifies servicing.
A good spare part supply throughout the world, even in remote regions.
NEUERO Industrietechnik für Förderanlagen GmbH is one of the world's leading manufacturers of pneumatic ship loaders and unloaders, which are indispensable to the international grain and other trades. NEUERO has found SIMATIC HMI devices to be a rugged, user-friendly system that facilitates the reliable and precise operation of its plants.
