For a transparent and reliable production Complex process intelligent managing with proc-vlies: the innovative solution ranging from fiber opening, and composition through web formation, stabilization, final refinement, and packaging. Intelligent multivendor capability in central building control system Increased comfort, security and efficiency for new and existing buildings with an effective facility management. Continuity in building communication minimizes energy consumption, delivering highest security, flexibility and comfort. Integrated production control The Manufacturing Execution System for optimization, simplification, and standardization of production processes. As the link between the production floor and the commercial order processing of the ERP-level (e.g. SAP) proc-mes undertakes the task of detailed planning, controlling, and feedback of the order processing. Prepare for competition through modernization In many cases machines and equipments are in good condition but the control system components are outdated or even worn out. An alternative solution to a new acquisition is to modernize. A retrofit can provide the most modern automation technology to inefficient production lines. The more economical retrofit increases productivity, improves quality, and reduces down times.
