关于客户
Metal Trade Comax a.s., located about 30 kilometers from Prague in the Czech Republic, is a producer of non-ferrous casting alloys and surface treated metal sheets and bands. Using coil coating technology, Metal Trade Comax applies organic coatings and embossing to aluminum, aluminum alloys, cold rolled steel and hot dip galvanized steel. Coated metals have a wide breadth of functions, for both interior and exterior needs. Roofing, sheet metal, parapets, interior facings, windows, automobile superstructures, trailers, cladding of buildings, cold storage and swimming pools can be constructed of coated metal.
挑战
Metal Trade Comax a.s., a producer of non-ferrous casting alloys and surface treated metal sheets and bands, needed a comprehensive monitoring and control solution for their production processes. They required a system that could ensure the coated metal exits the production line without defects. The company also wanted to gain interoperability with their devices from different vendors. They were looking for a solution that could interface with their Siemens SIMOTION PLC, which controls the main drives or motors of the production line, and a Siemens Simatic S7-300, connected with industrial ethernet.
解决方案
System Integrator ADAX s.r.o. implemented ICONICS GENESIS32 for Metal Trade Comax after several successful projects in the Czech Republic. ICONICS GENESIS32 with GraphWorX32 provides visualization for all parts of Metal Trade Comax’s coating line, where metal strips are painted or treated depending on their function. WebHMI enables remote Internet connectivity. ReportWorX32 and TrendWorX32 work together as the data logging, charting, reporting and analysis system, while AlarmWorX32 delivers alarm information. ICONICS software exchanges production data with Microsoft Dynamics NAV Enterprise Resource Planning software, for the complete integration of Metal Trade Comax’s data and processes. ICONICS interfaces with a Siemens SIMOTION PLC, which controls the main drives or motors of the production line, and a Siemens Simatic S7-300, connected with industrial ethernet. DataWorX32 provides OPC Data Aggregation from various OPC sources. Monitoring is enhanced with SNMP communication to devices for measuring energy consumption with variables including gas, water and electricity. Through TrendWorX, Metal Trade Comax is able to save large volumes of trend data from their production to a Microsoft SQL 2005 Server.

Continuous Casting Machines in a Steel Factory
With a very broad range of applications, steel is an important material and has been developed into the most extensive alloy in the engineering world. Since delivering high quality is absolutely crucial for steel plants, ensuring maximum productivity and the best quality production are the keys to competitiveness in the steel industry. Additionally, working conditions in steel factories are not suitable for workers to stay in for long periods of time, so manufactures usually adopt various machines to complete the steel production processes. However, the precision of these machines is often overestimated and the lack of flexibility also makes supervisors unable to adjust operating procedures. A renowned steel factory in Asia planned to improve its Distributed Control System (DCS) of furnaces as well as addressing the problem of insufficient accuracy. However, most well-known international equipment suppliers can not provide a satisfactory solution and local maintenance because the project needed new technologies to more accurately control equipment operations. By implementing Advantech’s automated monitoring and control solution, steel factories can not only improve the manufacturing processes but can also allow users to add additional functions to the existing system so as to make sure the operation runs at high efficiency.
