Results: Better brewing precision and quality control, plus greater productivity and efficiency.

DonJon has experienced at least a 30% reduction in engineering costs by using the TIA Portal. They saw a reduction in the engineering development time and in diagnostic and maintenance costs because the software was easy to use and was able to guide them quickly to any faults in the system. 

 Fieldturf stated that in comparison to another automation vendor, they reduced their engineering development and commissioning time by approximately 15% by using the TIA Portal software. 

Results: Digitalized production cell boosts auto parts manufacturing by 20%

Felss Rotaform looks to Siemens and IAS to advance their digital manufacturing with solutions like better maintenance tracking and predictive analytics, that enable them to be more competitive.

They completed the program engineering in 40% less time than previous projects. With the TIA Portal, S7-1200 and Basic Panel, they are at a price point where they can sell the value of our solution and win against the low end competition.

In the past it was not unheard of for them to spend two or three days on a project. With the TIA Portal, they can do it in four or five hours. They can do so much more with their existing staff, and in terms of engineering time ther're saving 30% to 40%.

By meeting and exceeding the original scope of the project and getting it done on-time, they have gained much exposure to additional projects of a similar nature. Because of the effectiveness of TIA Portal, they believe they are saving 25% or more on their engineering time.

With the Siemens SIMATIC automation and control system in place, JRH Brewing has increased the productivity and efficiency of its operations manyfold.

The engineering knowledge of Kinard Control Systems, the S7-1200 and the optimized design of the Siemens WinCC SCADA solution, helped Tega Cay to achieve their water availability goals while reducing their operational costs. As a result, the town’s water customers are seeing lower water bills. In the future, they may see even lower costs and experience fewer instances of downtime because of their modernized SCADA system.

Overall, the Accu-Cut’s new control panel from Charter Controls has helped improve the safety and serviceability with the SIMATIC PLC’s integrated safety and remote diagnostics. 

Results: Gained greater threading quality and repeatability, plus faster throughput and simpler operation, while saving the costs of rework, outsourcing, and scrapped rods.

Their improved Cooling Water system now supplies sustained levels of high-volume water to five extra production bays, empowering PCT to increase its overall production capacity by up to 50%. 

The increased efficiencies have a positive effect on PCT profitability and the reduced startup time enables our customers to more quickly realize a return on their investment.

They credit the TIA Portal with at least a 30% reduction in engineering development time, which means they can quote for more and larger systems. Being successful with Siemens is allowing Pendant Automation to grow their business by reducing their engineering development time, reducing their training costs for new employees and by winning more overseas projects.

TIA Portal has allowed them to save time and money through its integration and ability to program a large range of devices in the same software platform. In their minds, it has been the best way to prepare themselves for what’s to come in the future of automation.
