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:

“This makes handling the technology much easier and reduces the workload by about 50% as compared with our old engineering system.”
Dr.-Ing. Jan Hansmann, researcher at the University Hospital Würzburg
More time for research … thanks to 50% less time spent on engineering
Reuse of acquired know-how … no new design for further research stations
Consistent data backup … with a 100% time saving - automatic data backup without manual effort
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.
