Integration of software and hardware helps improve production line operational efficiency
8920-PS-DC With the increasing diversification of consumer demand, the demand for flexible production in enterprises continues to grow, there are more and more production line equipment, and the adjustment and optimization of process flows are becoming more frequent. However, the unique integrated development environment (IDE) of traditional automation software and hardware has led to a strong binding between production equipment and control systems, which is not conducive to the integration of industrial OT and IT, and has become a “shackle” for enterprises to further enhance their flexible production capabilities.
8920-PS-DC In response to the upgrading needs of grain and oil enterprises at the production line level, Schneider Electric provides software covering EcoStruxure open automation platform, EcoStruxure process control expert, APC advanced process control system, and AVEVA RTO real-time online optimization, as well as terminal hardware equipment including PLC, HMI, frequency converter, intelligent instrument, etc. By integrating intelligent equipment and production control platform, Schneider Electric helps factories improve the automation of production line processes The level of production flexibility and operational intelligence, the release of efficient productivity, and the creation of a reliable product quality control system. Among them,

8920-PS-DC

8920-PS-DC The EcoStruxure open automation platform is based on the integrated development environment of IEC 61499 and can be used to design, deploy, and manage industrial control systems, supporting a plug and play automation software component approach. The EcoStruxure open automation platform can cross the heterogeneous architecture of OT and IT devices, model distributed automation applications, focus on assets, adopt event driven and distributed deployment, and completely break the barriers of traditional applications where control programs work on proprietary hardware and cannot run seamlessly in different industrial fields; By combining innovative technologies such as digital 8920-PS-DC twins and predictive maintenance, it can also help customers improve engineering and operational efficiency, support flexible adjustments of production equipment to quickly respond to changes in supply and demand, and empower grain and oil enterprises to gradually upgrade throughout their entire lifecycle.
Taking a multinational grain and oil processing group as an example, the group is currently working closely with Schneider Electric to promote industrial automation internally by transferring the semi continuous process library of the production line to the IEC 61499 international standard. In the future, the group plans to gradually decouple its application library from the manufacturer’s platform, relying on true open automation to unleash its strong innovative productivity.
