Siemens VAI offers you modernization solutions tailored to your needs, to extend the working life of your plant. Updates and Migrations of your existing Plant Automation does not only increase availability and productivity, but lower operating and maintenance expenditure and, thus, safe your investment and make your plant ready for future production requirements.

As the original supplier of many automation systems in the metals industry, Siemens VAI has developed system migration packages and upgrade solutions as a cost-effective method for improving system performance and maintaining the value of the asset. Our solutions allows to migration or to upgrade your automation systems during operation or with limited down time. As a result, the working life of your system can be extended with significant improvements in maintainability and performance.

Siemens VAI upgrading packages are designed to get you a state-of-the-art automation system without the need to replace the entire plant automation equipment. Thus, major performance improvements can be achieved with low investment costs.

Migration Packages

Minimal investment for proven migration solutions

Siemens VAI is the original supplier of many automation systems prevalent in the metals industry. We offer standardized migration packages to ensure your plant is running the latest upgrades. Your system benefits from an increased working life, maintainability, and performance, with a minimal down time necessary, and in some cases none at all.

SIROLL Upgrade Software

Upgrading your outdated software with SIROLL Upgrade Software solution will bring a broad range of benefits to your business. Spare parts are reliably available, and our hotline support for new equipment will provide you with all the support you need. Thanks to our state-of-the-art automation equipment, newly developed technological functions – for example, SIROLL MSM microstructure monitor and the innovative mass-flow concept – can be easily implemented. The open system architecture is ready for future extensions (like additional HMI clients or IOs) and allows for easy updates, such as new virus protection and driver software. In addition, our skilled maintenance staff and trainings further enhance the uninterrupted productivity of your plant.

The SIROLL Upgrade Software implementation process is marked by clearly defined and carefully planned steps. First, we analyze your system and its performance. This includes checking for the availability of spare parts, interfaces and bottlenecks. Next, a migration and update strategy is defined. In this stage, we inspect the possibility of parallel installations and plan a fallback strategy. In the next stage, we begin to implement our solution. Based on the backup and validation of the existing software on site, we order new hardware and begin the engineering process at the Siemens VAI office. When this is completed, we test the upgraded system in the Siemens VAI test field. In the final implementation stage, the on-site system upgrade is concluded with startup support from our Siemens VAI commissioning engineers.

The implementation of SIROLL Upgrade Hardware is marked by clearly defined and well-considered steps that lead to a smooth migration.First, we analyze your system and its performance. This includes checking part availability, interfaces, and bottlenecks. Next, a migration and update strategy is defined. In this phase, we inspect the possibility of parallel installations and plan a fall-back strategy. In the next step, we begin to realize the solution. Based on the backup and validation of the existing software at your site, we order new hardware and begin engineering at Siemens VAI office. Afterwards, we test the upgraded system in the Siemens VAI test field. In the last implementation phase, the system upgrade is completed on site with start-up support from our Siemens VAI commissioning engineers.
