A new two-wire, loop-powered, pulse radar instrument from Siemens offers a cost-effective level measurement solution for liquid bulk storage or simple process vessels
Modularised and standardised components of the motion control system Simotion and the Sinamics drive system reduce the overhead for engineering, start-up, operation and maintenance.
In addition, Siemens will present the sector-relevant product range of fault-tolerant, high-precision and reliable process instrumentation as well as the Simatic IT Manufacturing Execution System for breweries.
This offers transparency and efficiency for the entire brewing operation - from production planning right up to process optimisation, including quality assurance, tracking and tracing, and the lab information management system Simatic IT Unilab.
The presentation will be rounded off with the resource-saving energy management system.
This ranges from detecting savings potential, through optimisation methods, right up to improved energy efficiency in production and building management.
The latest Siemens brewery instrumentation and control technology with the Braumat packages occupies center-stage and is based on the standardised and cross-sector Simatic PCS 7 process control system.
The Braumat packages are scalable and suitable for both small and medium-sized breweries, as well as for large operations comprising several breweries.
* Braumat Compact - for first-time users, smaller brewery projects, plant sections or individual process areas - combines automation and human machine interfacing in a tailor-made solution.
* Braumat Compact with a flexible recipe system for several beer types encompasses the planning of production and cleaning jobs as well as detailed production reports or even batch-specific analysis of trend curves.
* Braumat Plus - for large companies with one or more breweries and a larger product variety - can be tailored exactly to the size of the plant in hand using flexible client-server architecture.
Included is a batch package for recipe control, a standardised interface for the Simatic IT Manufacturing Execution System, a route control system with extensive diagnostics functions, and an asset management module.
With Braumat Classic - the Simatic-S5-based Siemens brewery control system, field-proven for more than 25 years - expanded functionalities ensure the long-term operation of installed systems, and support integration of the latest Simatic S7 technology.
Brau Beviale is from 14-16 November.
