How easy do you want it to be?
Integrated safety solutions; simple - efficient - clear
In the age of Industry 4.0, production lines must not only be highly flexible, they must also be available at all times and be cost-efficient. At the same time, they have to meet the necessary safety requirements. As the market demands on the manufacturing industry increase, so do the challenges for machine builders.
The world of automation is changing. Processes have become faster, tasks more complex and digitisation is now a basic requirement. Only an integrated approach can lead to a lasting competitive advantage. Today the TIA Portal is more than an engineering framework.
Simple engineering in TIA Portal
The TIA Portal makes the integration of safety technology easier and more efficient in your automation solution than ever before. All configuration and programming tools necessary for the realization of a failsafe program are integrated in the SIMATIC STEP 7 user interface.
It uses a common project structure. A common user interface for standard and safety-related tasks makes the tasks makes the fail-safe controller more accessible and easier to program.
In other words, the system of hardware and software offers the advantage that safety functionality is built in from the start and no other additional system is needed.
Always the right controller
SIMATIC Safety Integrated stands for the seamless and easy integration of safety technology into standard automation applications. This means one controller, one technology, one communication for standard and failsafe automation.
SIMATIC Safety Integrated ensures the highest reliability and saves time and and costs.
Siemens offers the right controller for the whole spectrum of automation requirements. The range of SIMATIC controllers includes Basic, Advanced, Distributed and Software Controller with Safety Integrated. Always deployable with its scalability and functional consistency, which allows for a uniform layout of all safety functions, including diagnostics.
The failsafe SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers are based on the S7-1200 standard CPUs and offer additional safety-related functions. The portfolio includes 3 CPUs with safety functionality, each offering two different variants.
The SIMATIC S7-1500 is its powerful brother. SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers are designed for use in all areas of production automation. They demonstrate their special strengths in applications for medium and high-end machines, when high performance, a wide range of technological functions, flexibility and versatile communication features are required.
SIMATIC controllers can be flexibly expanded at any time with plug-in I/O modules and communication modules. The modular design makes it easy to scale up the SIMATIC ET 200 system in small steps, for example to expand with fail-safe I/O modules. The products can be integrated into the automation system with PROFINET and/or PROFIBUS via PROFIsafe. SIMATIC controllers and I/O modules are certified for applications in accordance with IEC 62061 up to SIL 3 and EN ISO 13849-1 up to PL e.

Dymotec - Open Lines in a ‘Perfect Storm’Read moreCOVID-19 and global component scarcity threw the industry into a ‘perfect storm’. Industrial automator Dymotec and Breemes kept the phone lines constantly open to tackle the scarcity problem together with creativity and proactivity. Dymotec in Olen (B) focuses on industrial automation spanning a broad spectrum of industries, from food and pharma to logistics and metal. The company has been around for 30 years and joined the Jeco Energies Group in 2022. Dymotec now has some 50 employees and also has a flexible shell with technicians, programmers and project engineers. Ever since its establishment, the company from Kempen has had a relationship with (the predecessors of) Breemes.

Enduro - Complete package for heavy-duty workRead moreEnduro Softslings builds machines for the manufacture of its own heavy lifting soft slings. For a new machine, it called in itsme for the full package: advice on the drives, supply of components and programming of the controls. “We completed the entire project in just over six months. That’s fast for such a specialised machine.”
-
Stimac - Good technical support for ever-changing specificationsRead moreIf the description for an automation project is clear from the start, it is easy for the industrial automation specialist to give it substance. In practice, however, specifications often change during the course of a project. This happened to Stimac/SNK when designing the control technology for a horticultural machine. For the problems that arose during the process, itsme quickly provided Stimac/SNK with a solution. “When a customer calls us, we respond immediately. So it’s nice to have a supplier like itsme who can also help immediately.”
-
Innovatec - Hatching Better ProcurementRead moreInnovatec Hatchery Automation launched a process of professionalisation for its procurement process last year. The company partnered with itsme because of its technical expertise, logistics concepts and intensive contacts with manufacturers. “First we were dating, but now we’re thinking about moving in together.”
