Among the strategic jobs carried out with a view to Industry 5.0, Indinvest LT has started a major modification to the P4 extrusion line, replacing 13 high-power motors with more modern versions suitable for the energy savings covered by 5.0. To ensure continuous monitoring and advanced diagnostics of the new units, HS Automation supplied and installed a complete supervision system based on a new PLC and a new HMI from Rockwell Automation, with Sick IO-Link sensors for detecting vibrations and temperatures of the new motors.
To complete the project, HS Automation will also take care of the level 2 interconnection between the company's MES system and the CPUs on the P4 extrusion line, ensuring efficient and structured communication between the field and supervision.
Thanks to these technological interventions, implemented in synergy with other strategic partners, Indinvest LT aims to access the incentives provided by the Industry 5.0 plan, with the goal of not only improving the system's energy efficiency and sustainability but also generating a driving force for further industrial innovation and modernization projects.
