Machine automation from the design on

In order to keep pace with dynamic market demand, companies often have to redesign and automate complex production systems during ongoing operations. This leads to higher costs, implementation effort and increasing complexity. It is not uncommon for the chosen solutions to be incompatible with existing processes, meaning that the expected benefits are not realised.

How can automation be designed correctly from the outset?

T60 develops an automation concept that is tailored precisely to the product and processes right from the design phase. The first stages of automation are implemented, tested and approved for production at an early stage. A strategically planned automation roadmap prepares the next stages of expansion for later implementation.

Early involvement in the product design phase enables a tailor-made automation solution to be designed, developed, implemented and commissioned. Implementation takes place in stages – with a clearly defined roadmap for future optimisations.

• This is based on a comprehensive analysis of the product specifications, requirements and design – from three perspectives: hardware, software and process. If there is potential for optimisation, targeted adjustments to the design are considered before implementation.

• On this basis, an automation concept including a roadmap is created, structured in clearly defined expansion stages – with a targeted selection of suitable solutions for each stage.

• Implementation is based on careful planning: each phase of implementation is precisely prepared to ensure smooth commissioning and sustainable operation.
