Keeping your equipment running is what we do best.
Recently our team developed an upgrade solution to modernize the outdated B&R 2005 controls platform on Muller Martini – ‘Zenith S 3 knife Trimmer’.
A widely used trimmer application in book, catalogue and magazine production.
CPI Books is a leading book printing company with multiple locations across UK and Europe, the Zenith trimmers are an integral part of their book production process
Challenges:
- Existing controls equipment was obsolete
- Customer was finding it increasingly difficult to support
What we did:
- Site Survey – Design Engineer on site to detail machine Functionallity & Operation
- Supply of necessary components for PLC upgrade from B&R 2005 to B&R X20
- Upgraded with latest B&R 10.5 -inch colour TFT HMI
- Software Engineering – intuitive operator controls, improved alarms, messaging & diagnostics
- System test prior to shipment and site implementation
- Installation and commissioning
- Project Management
The newly upgraded equipment is provided with remote access for effective support.
What the customer had to say:
—“Its been a pleasure working with the manroland Goss team, they understood the challenges we were facing with obsolescence and have provided a modern controls solution that ensures we can maintain production on this generation of trimmer for years to come. All implemented with minimal impact to our production.” —– Wesley Dennehy – CPI Books Group Bindery Director.
We are always interested in exploring ways in which we can bring improvements to productivity & efficiency savings to the print & packaging industry & beyond….
