Our Group has chosen Safety e Profinet for an easy and more efficient management of its machines.
Now in its fifth generation and with over 135 years of history, Gruppo Bertolaso is an important business among the Italian wine technology manufacturers.
With around 80% of its new machine production destined for the foreign market, reliability and innovation are important goals for Gruppo Bertolaso and, together with a commitment to understanding customer needs, have become fundamental values for the whole group.
It is precisely reliability and innovation that led Gruppo Bertolaso to choose Siemens when looking for an on-board network solution for their machines, one with a highly scalable configuration and that was easy to manage.
Passing from the CPU 317T to the Simatic S7-1500F platform while keeping the Sinamics S120 drives, simplified axis management.
Using a CPU with integrated Safety, considerably reduced the safety-related wiring and, together with the use of a single Profinet netwrork, it helped to simplify the plant start-up, reducing it by 30-40%.
The next step will be to implement a new machine based on the Simatic S7-1500 T-CPU (Technological CPU) for cam motion management.
Given the positive experience with the Simatic S7-1500F, we expect the same success and continuity of performance.
