Industrial automation in the Siemens standard

We design, program and commission control systems for machines and production lines in the Siemens standard. The engineering is done by the team of our manufacturing partner in Türkiye; you deal with a Polish company — a contract in Polish and a Polish VAT invoice, payable in PLN.

Who it is for

Manufacturing plants of roughly 20 to 500 employees running Simatic or mixed installations: several generations of controllers, panels from different vendors, documentation scattered across binders. Typical triggers are a new machine or assembly cell, an extra stage on an existing line, taking over an installation after an integrator ended the relationship, or having no in-house automation department and needing engineering capacity on call.

We do not integrate robots. If an industrial robot is in scope we say so on the first call and work alongside your robot integrator.

Scope

• Concept and electrical design — input and output count, component selection, EPLAN schematics, cable lists and as-built documentation.
• Controller programming — Simatic S7-1200 and S7-1500 in TIA Portal, S7-1500T where axes have to be synchronised.
• Visualisation — WinCC Comfort on Comfort panels and WinCC Unified on operator stations and browser clients.
• Drives — selection and commissioning of Sinamics G120 inverters and Sinamics S120 servo drives.
• Safety — risk assessment and safety circuits designed to PN-EN ISO 13849-1, with the required performance level documented.
• Control panels — built to PN-EN 61439-1, with the machine's electrical equipment to PN-EN 60204-1, and tested before shipment.
• Commissioning and training — start-up on site, instruction for operators and maintenance, documentation in Polish.
• Data layer — Profinet, Profibus and OPC UA as the signal source for reporting and for a production monitoring system; other protocols are agreed at offer stage.

Software on its own — new blocks, migrations, extensions — can also be ordered separately; see Siemens PLC, HMI and SCADA programming.

Industries

• Food — dosing and recipes, CIP stations, packing and marking, batch parameter logging; components and enclosures chosen for a washdown area.
• Foundries — furnace and moulding-line control, charge handling, logging of melt parameters and energy per tonne.
• White goods — takted assembly lines, end-of-line test stations, conveyors and feeders operated from a single panel.
• Packaging — cartoners, wrappers and palletising, where throughput comes down to axis synchronisation and changeover time.
• Glass — forming and annealing lines run to a temperature profile, with the process continuously recorded.
• Textiles — multi-section drives with tension control, dyeing and finishing with recipes and batch tracking.
• Automotive — assembly cells with operation-sequence control, mistake-proofing and product traceability.
• Iron and steel — cut-to-length lines and rolling mills with high-power drives, length and weight measurement and archived setpoints.

Control panels

Our partner runs its own panel workshop, so the enclosure is built alongside the software rather than at a third subcontractor. We build enclosures from IP54 to IP66, in painted steel and in stainless steel where the panel stands in a wet area. Construction follows PN-EN 61439-1 and the machine's electrical equipment PN-EN 60204-1. The scope of the factory acceptance test and where it is held are agreed in the offer — as is the scope of the declaration of conformity, which depends on whether we supply a complete machine or a part of your installation. On an existing system it is usually cheaper to re-equip the panel than to build a new one; that is the subject of production line modernisation.

How we work

We start with a technical call and, where the scope calls for it, a site visit: we look at the machine, the documentation and the working conditions. A concept follows, with a signal count and a component list, and on that basis an offer with scope, lead time and payment terms. Once accepted, electrical design, panel building and programming run in parallel, and an acceptance test with simulated signals is held before shipment. Commissioning is planned in the window production picks: a weekend, a maintenance shutdown or a section-by-section rollout. At the end we hand over as-built documentation and run the instruction session. After handover you keep remote diagnostics during Polish business hours and service visits agreed per project.

Why a manufacturer from Türkiye

Three reasons. Engineering availability: the automation team can be scaled up for the duration of a project, without recruiting on your side and without queueing at an integrator. Time: the difference between Poland and Türkiye is one hour in summer and two in winter, so the working day overlaps almost completely and remote support answers the same day. Paperwork: industrial goods move from Türkiye into the European Union duty-free under the customs union on an A.TR certificate, and you still sign with a Polish company and receive a Polish VAT invoice.

The partner has already delivered outside Türkiye — among others a production line in Germany and a machine in Czechia (2023). How we select manufacturers and what we take on is described on the Turkish manufacturers page. Part of an automation investment can be co-financed from Polish and EU sources; we keep the current routes on the funding page.
