Project Overview
An older-generation Siemens automation platform required modernisation while retaining usable parts of the installed infrastructure.
Existing Challenge / Requirement
The brownfield system needed renewed PLC logic, operator interfaces and billet-cutting controls without an unnecessary full replacement of serviceable infrastructure.
Elexorn Scope
- Migration to a newer Siemens architecture
- PLC program redevelopment
- HMI upgrade
- SCADA upgrade
- Billet-length measurement
- Cutting logic redevelopment
- Brownfield integration
- Retention of usable existing infrastructure
Control Architecture / Technology
- Legacy Siemens platform
- Brownfield migration
- Newer Siemens control architecture
- HMI and SCADA
- Billet measurement and cutting logic
Engineering Approach
The migration isolated reusable assets, redeveloped the control application and integrated the modernised operator and cutting-control layers.
Commissioning / Execution
The upgraded platform and cutting functions were integrated into the brownfield operating environment.
Verified Result
Improved cutting consistency and billet-length repeatability while modernising the legacy automation platform.
