Automotive Paint Shop Design -- Excellence in Integration of Automation and Drives
2020-03-06
The automotive paint shop is a zero-tolerance environment that requires a strong and flexible network to integrate all components from start to finish, including applications, process engineering configuration, and conveyor systems.
Characteristics of the automotive paint shop include:
The highest demands on availability and energy efficiency;
No production downtime; and
Harsh production environments (high temperature, dirt, etc.).
Paint shop and automation technology - excellence in integration issues
"Zero tolerance" - to achieve this goal, you must flexibly network all components from start to finish, whether in applications, process engineering configuration, or conveyor systems.
To this end, Siemens has specially developed a complete set of unified standards, including our unified engineering configuration and diagnostic software SIMATIC STEP 7, the open communication structure we implement through PROFIBUS and PROFINET, and our industrial RFID system that can identify body model, color, and other features for optimized planning and order dispatch.
SIMATIC HMI includes products and systems for human-machine interfaces. By using our mobile HMI devices, car manufacturers can save wiring costs and increase the flexibility of factory visualization systems in the automotive paint shop.
The drying and cooling processes are highly energy-intensive, which requires manufacturers to use high-energy-efficiency components. Siemens' high-efficiency motors have very high efficiency (EFF1 class), preventing up to 40% power loss compared to standard motors.
