The FASTEC 4 PRO Software Solution At GREENoneTEC
Headquartered in Austria, GREENoneTEC is the world leader in the development and production of solar systems.
The key success factors are “commitment and customer orientation”, which are still deeply rooted in the company’s basic principles today.
In order to further expand its successful market position, the Austrian company in St. Veit a.d. Glan decided in 2008 to introduce an MES solution to create more transparency and increase productivity in the long term.
- Industry: Solar Industry
- In Use: Software solution FASTEC 4 PRO with the modules Machine Data Acquisition and Production Data Acquisition
- Interfaces: Access to data from PLC coupling via standard S7 interface
- Connected Systems: Laser welding systems, ultrasonic welding system, fully automated brazing stations, meander bending machine, automatic copper tube forming machines, semi-automated collector production lines
"The company records an overall increase in productivity of 10% – while at the same time reducing downtimes by 50%."
"We suddenly had unprecedented transparency thanks to tangible data."
Short And Precise
Optimizing Production Efficiency
The requirements for an MES solution at GREENoneTEC have changed: The primary goal of introducing an MES solution was to ensure absolutely efficient production at the lowest possible cost. In addition, it was necessary to adequately counter the strong competitive pressure from China.
FASTEC As MES Partner
GREENoneTEC opted for FASTEC as its MES partner with requirements such as increasing productivity by reducing downtimes and setup times for the systems, recording activities precisely according to duration and number of employees for the incentive wage model used and improving post-calculation by comparing target and actual figures. The individual adaptation of the standard software FASTEC 4 PRO to individual production processes was convincing.
Successful Machine Connection
Using a standard S7 interface, FASTEC was able to easily access the required data in the control PLCs. The successful binding of the laser machines to FASTEC 4 PRO was decisive for the further progress of the project. Thanks to the positive results achieved, the system was rolled out to all production areas (absorber production, collector assembly and the entire prefabrication) over the course of around three years.
