PROJECT IN FOCUS & SIEMENS AWARD

Precision in Series: Controlling a World-First with Siemens Technology

Fully automated license plate embossing within seconds requires absolute synchronicity and maximum reliability – both in the control cabinet and the code. With our 2-sided embossing automatic machine, we have realized a genuine world-first in special-purpose machinery. The fact that this challenging project has now been honored with an official award from Siemens makes us proud and confirms our approach: software development and electrical engineering at the highest level.

Technical key facts of our award-winning system:

  • Control Center: Simatic S7-1500 & S7-1200 (engineered in TIA Portal)
  • Motion Control: Dynamic positioning of complex axis systems via SINAMICS drives
  • Engineering Approach: Future-proof, structured software architecture – from hardware planning to Virtual Commissioning
