Giga Coating - Intelligent control for large coating system

Place: Twist, Germany
Industry: Surface coating, conveyor technology
Services: Control technology, PLC software, material flow control, visualisation, quality assurance

Trailers for semi-trailers or trailers are over 15 m long and weigh up to 9 tonnes - a challenge for any coating system.

Together with Vollert Anlagenbau, a transport system was developed that efficiently guides these large parts through all process stations - from pre-treatment to final inspection.

Automation expertise for XXL requirements

A coating system of this size requires more than just standard solutions. For Giga Coating, we have taken the entire automation technology to a new level - from electrical engineering and software development to intelligent material flow control.

  • Planning and project management of the complete control technology
  • Construction and delivery of the switchgear
  • Development of the PLC programmes for several parallel control systems
  • Connection of the conveyor technology to material flow and visualisation systems
  • Development of customised interfaces for work preparation
  • Optimisation algorithms for processing sequences and increased throughput
  • Recording and provision of all quality data in a central database

Special features & challenges

  • Different material thicknesses required variable processing times
  • Parallel commissioning of new transfer carriages during ongoing production
  • High computing requirements due to extensive sensor technology and dynamic processes
  • Integration into existing production environment with minimal downtime

Result
The fully automated system ensures consistently high quality thanks to optimised processes - with maximum transparency, energy efficiency and sustainability.
