Siemens Partner Program extended to include water industry

a result of climate change, water shortages are worse-ning and the quality of drin-king water is declining. This means that demand for water treatment plants and for the production of fresh water, for instance through the desali-nation of sea water, is grow-ing fast. Since energy costs are rising at the same time, this is also fuelling demand for improved technologies and more efficient equipment.

Siemens Solution Partnershttp://www.automation.sie-mens.com/mcms/solution-partner/en/home/Pages/ Default.aspx

Nuremberg, Germany.Siemens has added a water industry partner module to its Solution Partner Pro-gram. Siemens Solution Partners are system inte-grators who have been cer-tified for the Siemens range of automation, power distri-bution or Product Lifecycle Management products and provide consistent solu-tions for Siemens products around the world. The wa-ter industry module is ai-med at system integrators who want to offer their ser-vices to plant operators in the water industry, and will help operators find provi-ders trained by Siemens.

The new water industry part-ner module in the Siemens Solution Partner program is designed to provide optimum support to customers in the water industry. Together with the certified system integra-tors, who possess a wealth of experience in the areas of water and wastewater, desali-nation or irrigation, Siemens offers end customers com-prehensive product and sys-

tem expertise. Siemens sup-ports both the system integrator and the end user by providing tools that save time and money, and offering advice. To achieve optimum profitability, the support should ideally begin before planning starts, with a feasibi-lity study for instance, and will accompany the end user throughout the entire lifecycle of his facility. The water industry is a grow-ing area of activity for system integrators. Demand for water is rising all the time because of demographic change and increasing urbanisation. At the same time, and partly as

Alcoy – Alicante/Spain.Spanish pharmaceutical com-pany Korott has decided to equip the whole of its fifth plant, which is currently under construction, with Siemens technology. From raw materials storage to production equip-ment and ultra-modern pa-ckaging machines, the entire production facility is to be equipped with Simatic automa-tion technology. Unlimited data transfer will be provided for through the Profinet standard communications network.

Korott is currently building a fifth plant for the manufacture of den-tal hygiene products. The plant is to be equipped with Siemens sys-tems and the latest technology throughout. From raw materials

storage and the production equip-ment – four 10,000-litre reaction vessels for mouthwash and ano-ther two 3000-litre reaction ves-sels for various types of toothpa-ste – to ultra-modern packaging machines, all of the production fa-cilities are to be controlled with Si-matic via Profinet.

In addition, a further eight reac-tion containers for storing the dif-ferent types of toothpaste will be equipped with Siemens controls, with fully automated transport from the production reactors to the storage reactors. An automa-tic Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) sy-stem is to be used for cleaning and disinfecting the pipes. This procedure is fully integrated in the production process so that one part of the facility can be cleaned

while production continues at the other stations. The whole control system is operated from several Simatic panel PCs situated in va-rious parts of the plant and con-nected with each other via the WinCC Scada system from Siemens. The system can be mo-nitored and controlled remotely. This makes it possible to access information where it is required for decision-making. Ten international production companies were invol-ved in the successful project. One that deserves a special mention is Instalaciones Industriales Grau, which delivered the turnkey sy-stem and was directly responsible

for the processes (the reactors, the laying of pipes and hose lines, instruments, etc.), and for the au-tomation and integration of the system and for ensuring it worked properly with all the subsystems.A key element of the project was the use of the Profinet technology for communication between the systems. In addition, a connection was established with the central corporate ERP system and parti-cular importance was given to the

WinCC Scada solution. This inclu-des a database documenting all the relevant procedures and mo-difications in accordance with FDA 21 CFR and EU 178/2002.

Korott is a Spanish pharmaceuti-cal company specialising in health and wellbeing. Korott’s business areas include oral hygi-ene (toothpaste, tooth gel, mouthwash, and 2-in-1 toothpa-ste and mouthwash), dietary sup-

plements (capsules or ampoules of medicinal plants and nutritio-nal supplements), and cosmetic and sanitary products (cotton wool, cotton wool pads for remo-ving make-up, Vaseline, con-doms, etc.).

Nuremberg, Germany.A new reference video on “wireless industrial communi-cation” produced by the Sie-mens Industry Automation Divi-sion features the use of industrial wireless LAN (IW-LAN) in extremely harsh ambi-ent conditions. To ensure opti-mum product quality in its steel works, Swiss Steel AG in Em-menbrücke has opted to install automation systems and wire-less data transmission techno-logy from Siemens to provide the assurance of reliable, high-speed data transmission.

When scrap is remelted to create steel, the steel billets produced have to comply to a continuously high standard of quality. The aim here is for data relating to materi-al composition, weight and the position of the various conveying devices weighing several tons, to be transmitted wirelessly by radio to the control system, from where it is distributed as required. Data acquisition takes place at the IW-LAN Access Points Scalance W,

and the data is then transmitted wirelessly to the control system. Despite the hostile industrial envi-ronment, the radio signals reach the control system’s receiver in such a high standard of quality that additional redundancy mea-sures can be dispensed with. The availability of perfect wireless co-verage in this type of hostile envi-ronment is the culmination of pro-fessional radio link planning using Sinema E from Siemens.

As the use of moving pictures en-joys growing popularity in the on-line sector of the technical media, we are aiming to make available suitable video material from the Siemens Industry Division in the future. The video feature descri-bed here marks the start of this endeavour. The topics chosen will be designed to reflect your journa-listic interests and offer visitors to your websites a visual insight into current issues, trends and techno-logies. Whatever is happening in the world of automation technolo-gy will be featured, from industrial controls to industry software and

wird.

Because the 140-ton heavy crane creates a bottleneck in the steel plant, every movement is planned and optimized in a planning system. This is only possible through the use of a Siemens wireless network which permits precise position determination.

Despite the harsh operating conditions, the radio signals reach the receiver of the control system in such good quality that any additi-onal systems to back up the radio data can be dispensed with.
