Simatic

Simatic refers to a family of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) developed by Siemens. It is run on proprietary software called SIMATIC WinCC/Step 7 and is used for configuration and programming of the PLCs. The Simatic family includes four varieties of PLCs: basic (S7-1200), advanced (S7-1500), distributed (ET-200SP), and software controllers (S7-15000).From: The Cognitive Early Warning Predictive System Using the Smart Vaccine [2019], SBR treatment of tank truck cleaning wastewater: sludge characteristics, chemical and ecotoxicological effluent quality [2018], Industrial Automation Technologies [2020]

The control system of the line is based on Siemens Simatic S7 1500/1200 PLC. The individual visualization and operator panels use the Siemens WinCC and Simatic HMI platform. The control system and operator systems are overlaid by an MES system on the Siemens Opcenter Execution Discrete platform, which is primarily designed for data collection, inventory management and production order entry. The safety of the entire system is ensured by Leuze products. It is also important to mention that the robotic line also uses mobile AGV robots, which are primarily used for the removal of already manufactured products. Once the product assembly is completed, the mobile robot drives autonomously to the line area where the individual products are placed on the prepared robot platform by means of the robotic arm. The robot then drives out of the production line to a predefined position within the building, where the manufactured items can be conveniently picked up.
