Laser welding systems

Project

The products SOURING and SOUTRAC II are new developments by ANDRITZ Soutec.

Areas

UX/UI Design, Software

Customer

A leading provider of laser welding systems and resistance welding systems for flat and round parts.

Goals

The challenge in this project was to make a complex system easy to operate intuitively.

HMI control panel and monitor with a visualized production line from the Andritz Soutec project for intuitive plant control.
Visualization of an Andritz Soutec production system with HMI control panels that feature higher performance requirements and technological advancements.

Project description

The increased performance requirements necessitate a redesign of the existing HMI to be able to integrate new technological developments. After evaluating various systems, Alphagate was chosen. The challenge in this project was to make a complex system easy to operate intuitively.

Challenges

  • Visibility of functions / content
  • Independent user permissions
  • Independent login on mobile panel
  • Different resolutions
  • Integration of hardware buttons from the Keba panel into A-VIS
  • Automatic update of all clients with software changes
  • Modular HMI structure: Each plant component is realized as an A-VIS module
  • Modules can be activated / hidden and started separately
  • Easy configuration through Soutec-specific A-VIS components
  • Optimized for the workflow of ANDRITZ Soutec
“The new visualization project is an important step toward flexible and sustainable operation – thanks to the solutions from Alphagate and KEBA.”
