Werner Schischkowski,<br />
Head of Automation Department<br />
Our experts for automation and control technology contribute their expertise to the performance of integrated <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> plants. They<br />
combine control system processes, control tasks, operation, and visualization into performance-strong IT solutions which can be optimally<br />
integrated into the business processes of our customers. Our focus is on the optimal handling of machines stretching from the highest possible<br />
degree of standardization to concepts customized to meet individual customer needs.<br />
Our main focus is on plant safety and machine reliability as well as providing our customers with standardized and user-friendly interfaces.<br />
Our process control system Prod-IQ ® is tailored to the specific requirements of our customers and helps to save resources. The system’s large<br />
number of modules covers such areas as production data management, quality control, maintenance, and service. The benefit of the control<br />
system: The availability of the plant increases and the quality of the products and the cost transparency improve!<br />
In <strong>2008</strong>, once again, we met all technical challenges in the area of automation and control technology! With our full commitment we will<br />
continue to reach our objectives.<br />
Automation and control system products for all plants are<br />
manufactured and marketed by <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> Maschinenund<br />
Anlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG, Krefeld.<br />
Milestones<br />
The close cooperation with our company’s mechanical and<br />
hydraulic specialists as well as technologists is an important<br />
quality aspect of our work. Our order processing has become<br />
more efficient in <strong>2008</strong> and we further increased our degree of<br />
standardization.<br />
Our customers benefit from the continuity of our technology.<br />
Without losing any of its high standardization, our electrical<br />
engineering continues to be customized to the user needs.<br />
In <strong>2008</strong> we have further optimized the interaction of the<br />
areas of automation technology and measurement and<br />
process control engineering. A further increase in the product<br />
quality in the production process with the help of a board<br />
density based press program and an optimal thickness control<br />
emphasize this improvement. In this area the board accuracy<br />
could again be enhanced. The result is a positive impact on the<br />
thin board production.<br />
In our original model of a control room we conduct customerand<br />
subject-specific training with real-life automation technology<br />
components. In <strong>2008</strong> the first customer took advantage<br />
of this training opportunity. The participants became<br />
familiar with the real-life functions of the ContiRoll ® press.<br />
With the help of the original plant software including PC,<br />
control, drive and measurement technologies, our customers<br />
can get familiar with the specific requirements of their<br />
ContiRoll ® . This is an outstanding preparation for performing<br />
the tasks in reality.<br />
