Optimize testing processes with flexible and sustainable solutions. With Siemens technology, Aliauto transforms test benches into intelligent systems capable of cutting energy consumption and ensuring superior performance in total safety.
In the hydraulic components sector, the main challenge is balancing high test power with operational sustainability. Aliauto Italy responded by evolving its test benches into digital and "green" models. The goal was to increase performance while drastically reducing energy impact, ensuring simple management through cutting-edge HMI interfaces and scalable, future-proof architectures.
Adopting SINAMICS S120 drives with a common DC bus allows for energy recovery, reducing actual consumption to one-tenth of the installed power.
Thanks to the Active Line power supply, the system eliminates harmonics and reactive energy, protecting the customer’s electrical infrastructure.
The web-based HMI simplifies monitoring and makes the system ready to face the challenges of digitalization.

This collaboration led to the creation of Power Trade, an exclusive 4-wheel drive transmission machine. The integration of SINAMICS S120 drives and 1PH8 motors allowed for power management up to 600 kW with unprecedented efficiency. This flexible architecture enables adaptation to various testing needs while maintaining full control over the dynamics of hydraulic and mechanical components.
Integrated protection and control with SIMATIC
Safety and reliability are fundamental pillars of the solution. By using SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers and SENTRON electrical protection systems, Aliauto ensures top-quality standards. This advanced technology protects data and process integrity, speeds up engineering, and makes remote diagnostic maintenance easier through integrated digital platforms.

Beyond technical advantages, the partnership between Siemens and Aliauto promotes a new vision for industrial testing. The ability to visualize real-time data and optimize energy flows not only reduces costs but actively supports customers' sustainability goals. Together with Siemens Italy, Aliauto is setting new standards for test benches that are simultaneously more powerful, smarter, and more eco-friendly.
The collaboration with Siemens gave birth to Power Trade: an exclusive and innovative 4-wheel drive transmission machine. It is among the largest and most powerful ever made, and Siemens played a fundamental role in its success.
