PLC and HMI: how automation and remote connectivity boost efficiency in tissue production

Gabriele Salotti and Alessandro Balestri showcase how next-generation control systems are driving efficiency in tissue production. This webinar offers a comprehensive look at the key technologies that maximize line efficiency, repeatability, and speed.

Main topics are:

• PLC and Automation Evolution: The session will cover the evolution of PLC controllers and the shift to high-speed, ethernet-based protocols (Profinet/EtherNet/IP) to achieve greater flexibility in automation.
• Advanced HMI: Learn about the transition from physical pushbuttons to modern operator panels (HMI), featuring fast response touchscreens, high-detail graphics, and on-board data analysis capabilities, fully integrated into the PLC software.
• Secure remote Connectivity: We will detail how "Expert On-Line" remote assistance uses the Mguard architecture,  ensuring immediate support while maintaining network isolation.
