Intelligent maintenance strategies: SIMATIC Maintenance Station
In automated processes, malfunctions can be very costly in terms of money and
lost production time. Thus it is essential to prevent or at least minimize
downtimes as far as possible. Quite often the source of malfunctions is
sub-optimal maintenance. And that’s exactly where our SIMATIC Maintenance
Station comes into play. By providing a clearly structured overview of the
current status of the entire automation system and precise records of all
maintenance measures, the SIMATIC Maintenance Station creates optimal conditions
for intelligent preventive maintenance and enables fast detection and
elimination of malfunctions as well as prompt execution of all necessary
maintenance actions. This saves time, prevents errors and helps achieve a
substantial performance improvement of the complete materials handling process.
For a much more efficient use of your installations across their entire
lifecycle.
The SIMATIC Maintenance Station can either be configured as an individual
operator station with maintenance functionality, or run on a WinCC operator
station in combination with WinCC process visualization.
