Working Process: Efficiency and Technological Vision
Maximum Flexibility with Sinumerik ONE
The production line uses two Sinumerik ONE controllers in parallel, leveraging the capabilities of the CNC for material machining and the PLC 1500 for handling automation. The architecture enables coordination of motion control across more than 100 axes, ensuring both precision and speed. The modular approach makes it possible to manage the complexity of the system while maintaining a high level of operational flexibility, which is essential for meeting the customized demands of the European and North American markets.
Security and Process Monitoring
The current solution is not limited to automation but includes advanced devices for cybersecurity and energy monitoring. The openness of Siemens devices allows Working Process to integrate countless digital applications for constant process optimization. This approach ensures the protection of sensitive data and careful management of energy resources throughout the line.
Towards AI Integration
Looking to the future, the partnership aims to integrate artificial intelligence algorithms within the production processes. This evolution will allow even greater production efficiency and advanced predictive maintenance. The twenty-year collaboration with Siemens Italy supports Working Process in anticipating market trends, transforming technology into a competitive advantage.
The now twenty-year collaboration with Siemens is characterized by total synergy, an innovative drive that allows us to anticipate market needs. In this perspective, it was essential to find the right partners with whom we could compare and undertake a path that goes beyond the customer/supplier logic.
