Modular production line

In the modular, digital learning factory 4.0 using state of the art technologies, all aspects of a modern, future-oriented production are represented. The production stations are fully interlinked. The automation standards PROFINET, PROFIBUS-DP and OPC-UA connections are applied. Data can be transmitted to the cloud via an IIoT gateway. To supplement the MES software, the production line interacting with the individual production segments per OPC-UA is available optionally. In the individual stations, traction inverters are contained or decentral peripheral devices are integrated via PROFINET. IO-Link, too, is used in case of applications in the field of sensor technology. All stations offer RFID read/write-heads and can file away production data on an RFID tag as well as on a server (e.g. OPC, UA, SQL, ...). While the current production step is checked in each station, a final check is realized by a bus-compatible camera and other sensors in their own station.
