Fully Integrated Automation

Release date:

2023-06-21

Fully integrated automation can lay the foundation for achieving unified and efficient automation throughout the entire factory—spanning from the pump station to the aeration tank, all the way through to the drainage station.

Whether it's for the process industry or the manufacturing sector—and no matter the specific field—fully integrated automation remains the sole foundation for delivering automation solutions that perfectly meet diverse, tailored needs. Leveraging the insights we’ve continuously gained from our extensive applications across other industries, combined with our mature product portfolio, we’re directly applying this expertise to our current development efforts, ultimately bringing numerous benefits to the water industry.

Fully integrated automation can lay the foundation for achieving unified and efficient automation throughout the entire factory—covering everything from the pump station to the aeration tank, right through to the drainage station.

Fully integrated automation offers numerous advantages throughout the entire lifecycle of a machine or factory—from the initial planning stage, through installation and commissioning, operation and maintenance, all the way to expansion and modernization.

Building on fully integrated automation, we can implement tailored solutions with exceptional integration performance, specifically designed to meet the unique demands of the water industry. The VarSuv energy-saving calculator has made a significant contribution to optimizing energy management in your plant. Thanks to TIA's system-oriented engineering environment and its integrated communication and diagnostic options, your facility will continue to benefit throughout its entire lifecycle. Moreover, Siemens is constantly innovating to ensure the long-term security of your investment in plant modernization projects.

The advantages of fully integrated automation:

Installation and Debugging: Using the same communication standards across the factory—such as PROFIBUS and PROFINET—minimizes interface requirements while simplifying the installation and commissioning process. Even highly complex factories can be implemented effortlessly.

Running: Integrated communication can maximize transparency across the entire factory. This demonstrates that, when demands change, the factory can respond more quickly and flexibly—and implement highly effective diagnostic measures. As a result, unplanned shutdowns can be minimized. Moreover, integrated Totally Integrated Automation also means unified operation of all stations—whether directly through the control system or via the operator panel.

Maintenance: Smart maintenance strategies enable you to quickly detect, analyze, and eliminate potential sources of error—even when using remote maintenance. In the operation of many of our systems, modules can be easily replaced. Additionally, the standardization of components significantly eases the workload for maintenance engineers.

Modernization and Expansion: Existing factories easily adapt to evolving requirements, often without interrupting operations. Thanks to the continuous and in-depth development of our products and systems, we’ve managed to avoid many unnecessary changes within the system, thereby maximizing investment security.
