Machine and equipment automation
The modernization of machines and equipment in terms of automation is a process of introducing modern technologies and solutions into existing machines and equipment to increase their level of automation and efficiency. It involves modifying, improving, or replacing parts, components, or systems in existing devices to enable them to operate fully or partially autonomously.
Adding sensors and actuators
Installation of additional sensors, such as optical sensors, force sensors, and position sensors, which enable machines to collect data about the environment, operating conditions, or the product.
Automation of control systems
Implementation of modern control and automation systems, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) or SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, which enable programming, monitoring, and controlling the operation of machines and devices.
Integration with IT systems
Connecting machines and devices with IT systems, such as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, enabling data exchange and integration of production processes.
Energy optimization
Implementation of solutions aimed at reducing energy consumption, such as efficient motors, speed regulation, the use of renewable energy sources, and kinetic energy recovery.
Robotics and process automation
Implementation of industrial robots or automation systems to perform specific operations or tasks within the production process. This may include assembly, welding, packaging, sorting, and many other activities.
