As a specialist for Automation technology and Control technology offers MEMBRAFLOW integrated solutions: from electrical planning and control cabinet construction to PLC programming. We support industrial companies in the Optimization of your production processes - with modern Control technologymore intelligent HMI visualization and automated documentation.
Fluid technology systems such as Hydraulics, Pneumatics or cooling lubrication are precisely planned and seamlessly integrated. The aim is always Increasing efficiencyproduction output and operational reliability - while at the same time reducing costs.
Automation is today a central success factor in the industrial production - It creates freedom, reduces error rates and ensures sustainable growth.
Consulting & project planning
Our expertise flows into the development of overall technical concepts. From the selection of suitable hardware to software services and complete documentation. We work closely with our customers to define interfaces and delivery limits, taking into account all technical, regulatory and customer-specific requirements.
During the implementation of a project, we monitor the entire production process, including purchasing, production and compliance with all local specifications and specific requirements from the specifications.
We coordinate all installation activities on site, accompany the test run and instruct the operating personnel. In this way, we ensure smooth commissioning and sustainable integration into the existing automation system.
Electrical construction
We use state-of-the-art CAD systems such as EPLAN Electric P8 and Pro Panel for a consistent and Automated electrical design. From 2D and 3D planning to documentation, we offer efficient solutions for control systems, control cabinets and fluid technology systems. Discover our technologies and working methods in detail.
The EPLAN CAD system enables consistent, integrated and fast electrical design for machines and systems. It supports various engineering methods, from manual creation to standardized and template-based work. The project data recorded in the circuit diagram serves as the basis for automated completion of the machine documentation.
This system enables us to carry out comprehensive planning in 2D and 3D for control and switchgear construction. It serves as the basis for the automation and industrialization of enclosure production. We use EPLAN Pro Panel to design and construct control cabinets, switchgear and power distribution systems for energy supply in 3D.
Smart Mounting simplifies the manual assembly of mechanical and electrical components in enclosure construction. Precise work instructions and 3D visualization make the assembly of enclosures more efficient.
Smart Wiring is our virtual assistant for manual wiring in control cabinet construction. The software provides all information, from connection points to the exact installation route, digitally and in 3D.
With preplanning, we record engineering data as early as the pre-planning phase. This includes, for example, actuators and sensors for systems, machines or buildings.
The software makes it possible to quickly create data sheets or specifications for material procurement. We also access the collected data in the subsequent planning phases.
Our engineering tool for project planning and automated documentation of fluid technology systems such as Hydraulics, Pneumatics, cooling and lubrication. The software supports various engineering methods, from manual creation to standardized and template-based work. Once recorded in the circuit diagram, the project data serves as the basis for automated completion of the machine and system documentation.
With this system, projects along the entire value chain are available to all project participants - from engineering, production and assembly through to service and maintenance.
We rely on EPLAN Cable proD for cable planning. A specialized solution for the fast and precise cabling of machines and systems. The software digitizes the entire planning process and provides all the necessary information for production and assembly. Pre-assembled cables can also be used directly. This minimizes waste, reduces sources of error and enables efficient implementation based on the plug & play principle.
PLC & HMIProgramming
Modular and structured software engineering is the basis for an efficient and productive system. Thanks to our many years of experience, we are able to realize complex processes individually. Connections to databases and the networking of machines and company networks make it possible to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the systems. This fulfills important technological requirements for the digital future of industrial production and makes a significant contribution to the Industry 4.0 guaranteed.
Controls:
- SIMATIC 1200, 1500, 300, 400, S5 / S7
- standard, fail-safe, highly available
As a standard supplier, we rely on SIEMENS and are therefore able to work with the following systems:
- TIA Portal
- STEP7
- STEP5
The visualizations with an intuitive "look and feel graphic interface" simplify the operation of complex machines. The schematic representation of process sequences in conjunction with the display of the status of system components and process data: Archiving enables continuous optimization of our systems. A simple and fast fault diagnosis tool reduces downtimes and increases the availability and efficiency of the systems.
With the HMI programming we use the following systems, depending on the specification, customer requirements and system age:
- TIA Portal
- WinCC
- WinCC flexible
- ProTool/Pro
Process control systems
- SIMATIC PCS
We also rely on C# programming for individual requirements, for example to implement specific interfaces or external tools. Important technological requirements for the digital future are therefore
Hardware & additional services
Control cabinet construction & hardware installations
Depending on the size and any protection requirements (e.g. explosion protection), we design and manufacture the right control cabinet for each individual project according to the customer's requirements. Once the switch cabinet construction is complete, our electricians carry out all the necessary installation work on site.
Depending on the customer's requirements, we can carry out the entire electrical wiring of all main devices and units or only internal wiring work up to defined transfer points. Our electricians are also available for other electrical work of any kind.
Function & initial test
At the end of the installations carried out by us, an initial test is carried out in accordance with DIN EN 60204-1:2019 ; VDE 0113-1:2019, which is mandatory for the safe operation of the system. For systems installed and commissioned by third parties, we offer to carry out these tests as an additional service.
Retro-Fit
Under certain circumstances, upgrading existing systems is preferable to implementing new systems. In this case, our employees are available to answer questions about the compatibility of existing equipment and the implementation of new equipment or software upgrades. The work carried out under the name Retrofit is particularly interesting for customers who are confronted with problems in procuring spare parts or who want to expand the functionalities of their systems.
Thanks to innovative solutions in the control and Control engineering we are expanding the possibilities of Pneumatics and connect Proportional technology, Sensors and Control algorithms to an effective Control loop. As a result, we not only optimize pressure, flow and movement, but also increase the efficiency of your production. Our experts ensure that the control is easily integrated into your systems and offer you maximum process reliability, precise control and economical results.
Explosion protection
Explosion protection requires compliance with strict legal requirements. These include the ATEX directives (ATEX 114 and ATEX 153) and the IECEx standards. All components and systems used must be certified and labeled accordingly. Regular maintenance and inspection of the systems are essential. MEMBRAFLOW offers you many years of experience in the fulfillment of all legal requirements for explosion protection.
UL standard
The USA and Canada have established their own standards for product safety, which are relevant to enclosure construction. MEMBRAFLOW is your partner when it comes to compliance with the extensive guidelines and safety standards (UL standards) in North America.
