Three examples of how this time can become an opportunity for innovation!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dear Customers, Dear Partners,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who could have imagined six months ago what we would be facing in 2020?! It teaches us humility; and it teaches us that even the best planning can\u2019t account for everything! But as problem-solvers and visionaries, we at ROTH strive to view every challenge as an opportunity and get creative together with our customers. In this way, the current situation can become a real driver of innovation. Here are three examples! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Topic 1: The Past<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Optimization Instead of New Investments: Three ROTH Operator Panels Upgrade an Old Machine Fleet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When looking at their machinery, plant operators often ask themselves: How can I extend the service life of my plant without unnecessarily increasing the risk of a complete machine failure? Time <\/em>passes. Machines run. Control systems come and go. Machines run. Operator interfaces and visualization devices come and go. Machines run. Operators come and go. The critical factors for running systems are their wear parts and the essential expertise of the machine operators. There are generic solutions for both issues: maintaining a spare parts inventory and providing operator training. When nothing works anymore, the options of scrapping the equipment or performing a full-scale retrofit (complete overhaul) suddenly come into play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the ROTH Operator Panel (ROP)<\/strong><\/a> , we have created a solution that addresses the system\u2019s human-machine interface (HMI) and provides a modern replacement for devices that have already been discontinued (PHG and HT6). At the same time, it offers a modern UI\/HMI for the plant. This is both sustainable and cost-effective, as it avoids the need for a complete control system replacement. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Topic 2: The Present<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Simulation Instead of Traveling Overseas: With the Digital Twin<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently unable to travel to some international projects without putting our employees\u2019 health at risk. We\u2019ve taken a creative approach to this situation with an overseas client. By using a virtual simulation of the plant and leveraging standard video conferencing and screen-sharing tools, we\u2019ve established regular<\/strong>, high-quality communication<\/strong>, keeping the client informed of progress at all times. The best part is that these capabilities allow us to bring the end customer\u2014the future plant operator\u2014on board even at this early stage of the commissioning process, so that their feedback can be incorporated into the development process. At the same time, we are currently working on offering operator training<\/strong> in advance to keep the plant\u2019s ramp-up<\/strong> period as short<\/strong> as possible. In addition, our customer can track the current status of the commissioning in real time on a dashboard we provide, based on our Platform+\u2014regardless of device or location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all: This feature is included in the price for him and will remain available even after the system goes live!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Topic 3: The Future<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Monitoring and Oversight in Times of Social Distancing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical distancing is the order of the day! However, machines and equipment should still continue to operate. How can supervision<\/strong> and monitoring<\/strong> be ensured? We explored and discussed this very issue with a customer in the manufacturing industry, as they operate on a shift schedule and foremen and supervisors are often not on-site at the same time as the machine operators. With our Platform+, we\u2019re able <\/strong>to capture the relevant data and information from the system (vital data<\/strong>) and display it via our dashboard as a 100% web-based application<\/strong>. This eliminates the need for a physical location; the time and place for retrieving and viewing information become independent and flexible! For one of our clients, we were able to connect three of their most critical systems<\/strong> to a local server<\/strong> and make the data available externally via an interface. This provides an overview and level of control whose added value they will not want to do without in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope I’ve inspired you! And I’d love to hear from you about what’s been going on with you and your company over the past few months! We would be happy to accompany you on your journey (into the future).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
