KELLER IMS process and automation engineering - The continuous automation concept from the operational – to the management level

Plant network system

Programming server

• Central server for all PLC projects.
• Ethernet allows access to all connected PLC systems.
• Centralised storage of PLC software and backups make sure that all users can access the current projects at any time.

Teleservice

• Worldwide remote diagnostics during commissioning or troubleshooting carried out by system experts in Ibbenbüren-Laggenbeck.
• Remote maintenance performed by the customer's staff during weekends or holidays.
• The options include process computer operation, PLC programming, data transfer, video and audio transmission.
• Secure connection through VPN/firewall via the systems infrastructure provided by KELLER IMS.

Data backup and storage

• Complete data backup of process computers, PLC sources and automatic safety storage buffers from PLC to the central server.
• History files are backed up at multiple levels. Direct recovery of data or complete system structures on the clients systems.

Wi-Fi network

• A Wi-Fi network allows wireless programming, troubleshooting and maintenance in the factory.
• Mobile services with notebook, tablets or handhelds.

Process control & maintenance

Alarm management system

• Operating and fault messages are texted to a defined number of configured users.
• Supports message selection, preparation of escalation charts, shift tables, acknowledging of messages, etc.

Maintenance manager

• Configuration, monitoring and logging of maintenance jobs.
• Automatic activation of maintenance procedures after time, incident, cycles, etc.
• Structured data according to machine, plant, factory, etc.
• Storage of maintenance files.

Datamanager

• Operational data acquisition for various industries.
• Acquisition of consumptions, consumables, etc.
• Acquisition of production volumes, production times, counter readings.
• Overview of current production by target/actual performance comparison.
• Preparation of shift-depending production reports and measuring protocols.
• Recording and filing of collected data.

Energy management system

Central system for collecting amounts of energy in various industries. Subdivision of the complete plant into different measurement areas. Each area is equipped with different meters (current, water, gas, etc.). Integrated computing functions can carry out any number of calculations. Alarm monitoring of counts and threshold monitoring of counter values. Analyses over any review period or as a continuous measurement in the form of graphs or Sankey diagrams. Spatial representation of the counters/measurement spots on installation graphs. Integrated data interface to other K-matic process control systems. Functions to export the analysis data to Microsoft Excel©.

K-matic 4.0

Industry 4.0 links the production with the most modern information and communication technology. Evolutionary development of machine software through the use of Internet technology opens up new ways in the production of heavy clay products. The focus here is on the intelligent, horizontal and vertical interconnection of people, machines, objects and information technologies in real-time for a dynamic management and an optimisation of complex systems. Smooth communication from the sensor to the Internet is a prerequisite for industry 4.0. In the Industry 4.0 factory intelligent machines coordinate manufacturing processes autonomously, handling robots cooperate intelligently with people and transport vehicles perform logistics tasks on their own.
