Giotto Technologies, the R&D center of BAOSUO Enterprise, operates at the heart of Italy's primary paper hub. The challenge was to create a pioneering production line that is user-friendly, secure, and highly flexible. The goal: establish a modular standard capable of delivering high performance while reducing energy impact and maintenance costs, ensuring the entire system remains future-proof.
Performance in papermaking
Drive innovation in the paper industry with Giotto
Optimize production through a technologically advanced, modular, and safe line. In partnership with Siemens Italy, Giotto Technologies ensures energy efficiency and maximum hardware and software customization to meet specific customer needs.
Technological excellence in the Lucca paper district
Real results for smart production
Maximize flexibility with modular standards
Modular hardware and software architecture simplifies line construction and development, allowing for deep customization and easy system maintenance.
Increase efficiency with Torque motors
Integrating SIMOTICS Torque 1FW motors reduces noise, vibration, and spare parts requirements, leading to significant energy efficiency in processes.
Guarantee reliability via remote assistance
Adopting Sinema RC ensures timely technical support and effective remote diagnostics, optimizing operational continuity and reducing downtime.
Giotto Technologies: modularity and power in action
Integrated automation for total control
The line manages over 70 real and virtual axes via the SINAMICS S120 system, coordinated by a CPU 1518-TF. Each module features dedicated ET 200AL and ET 200SP I/Os, ensuring precise, decentralized management. Using TIA Portal with the Multiuser option allowed teams to collaborate on programming, accelerating development. Integrated Unified Comfort panels facilitate human-machine interaction, making the line intuitive for operators.
Sustainability and operational cost reduction
Energy efficiency is at the core of the project. Through grid regeneration and the use of SIMOTICS S-1FK7 and Torque 1FW motors, the line drastically reduces consumption. Advanced mechanics decrease component complexity, reducing service needs and increasing the machine's life cycle. This optimization not only supports corporate sustainability goals but provides a competitive edge by lowering primary energy costs.
Safety and innovation in the Profinet network
Operator and maintenance safety is guaranteed by a design focused on protection and ease of use. The entire infrastructure communicates over a Profinet network managed with Scalance Managed switches, ensuring a secure and reliable data flow. This digital ecosystem protects personnel and transforms operational data into strategic information for the continuous improvement of production performance over time.
The collaboration with Siemens is a true technological partnership. Thanks to Siemens, we can access cutting-edge solutions, simplify design, and guarantee high reliability.
