Process&Factory Platform
Tecnica Elettronica product platform for the development of innovative and advanced programming and control systems for different production processes in Process Industry and Manufacturing sectors.
Process&Factory Platform
The following features mark the realised systems and the services issued by Process&Factory Platform: knowledge of the processes and the market, practical experience, ongoing technological innovation, services for the life cycle and headquarters support.
- TE_Process&Factory_Lib libraries;
- Process analysis and modelling tools;
- Engineering framework SIMATIC TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Siemens Portal;
- Siemens PCS7 Product/System;
- Standard Hardware and Virtualisation with applications installable on Virtualised Servers;
- Software modules developed by using universally widespread programming languages;
- Established and widespread communication protocols.
All the above-mentioned features, if correctly configured and combined according to the type of process, enable Process&Factory Platform to:
- formalise the representation of the process to be automated;
- develop supervision and distributed control systems for continuous and batch processes;
- develop control and supervision systems of manufacturing processes characterised by a sequence of discrete technology operations;
- derive the peculiarity of one or more process areas automating their control and integrating the respective information flows;
- set up specific applications in an efficient way;
- optimise the interfacing within the field;
- install the created applications in virtual environments.
Why choose it?
Over the years Process&Factory Platform has proved, thanks to the mix of technology, service and e configurability, to be a flexible, open and efficient product-platform both for developing distributed control systems and automating the control of heterogeneous process areas, integrating them as “Unit” within the business information flow.
