Food & Beverages
Customer: Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus AG; Siemens partner: HWI IT GmbH
Restructuring of the linear networking in the production during ongoing operation
Increase of access security, reliability, and performance of the network
Logical separation of IT and OT networks
Using high-performance network technology from Siemens, the Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus AG has made its production network fit for the future. Redundant ring structures, high data transmission rates, cell protection with segmentation, and access via firewalls are essential for a fast, access-protected, failsafe, and highly available communication. Siemens, the Siemens partner HWI IT, and Rothaus have jointly developed, optimized, and implemented the network concept during ongoing operation.
Access protection to all level provided by SCALANCE S615 and SINEMA Remote Connect
Redundant backbone ring implemented with SCALANCE XR526-8C
Redundant connection of the Gigabit ring segments with layer 2 switches to the backbone and network security provided by SCALANCE SC636-2C
Transmission rates of 10 Gbps in the backbone ring and 1 Gbps in the sublayered rings
Segmented subnetworks for IT and OT via VLANs, end-to-end interoperability of HPE Aruba (IT) and Siemens (OT) devices
"Thanks to high-performance network technology and the combined expertise of all those involved, we have achieved our goals consistently and implemented a fast, access-protected, failsafe, and highly available production network."
Adriano Pederiva, Head of Automation at Rothaus
High degree of protection when accessing machinery and equipment from the production/enterprise level
Increased reliability and availability of the network and thus the production
Faster communication through higher data rates
Future-proof networking, open to expansion and virtualization
In planning: Management of the network with SINEC NMS
