AUTOMOTIVE · Tier 1 · Galicia

Robotic MIG welding cell with 2D vision

Full cell integration with Fanuc robot, Siemens S7-1500 PLC, iRVision 2D and safety with F-CPU. VIN-level traceability to the corporate MES.

S7-1500F-CPUFanuc M-20iAiRVisionProfiSafeOPC-UA
Challenge

A Tier 1 automotive customer needs a welding cell that automatically detects parts with a defective bead before moving them to the next station. Zero false positives and auditable safety.

Solution

Fanuc M-20iA robot programmed in TP + Karel. Siemens S7-1500 PLC with integrated F-CPU for safety. iRVision with template per model. Profinet handshake between robot and PLC. Report via OPC-UA to the MES.

Result

Automatic detection of out-of-tolerance welds, reject to rework station with VIN-level traceability. Full technical documentation for IATF 16949 audit.

FOOD & BEVERAGE · Canned goods · Galicia

Packaging line with per-batch traceability

Full canned-goods packaging line with SCADA WinCC Unified, automatic logging in SQL Server and auditable IFS Food reports. Recipe change from HMI in under 2 minutes.

WinCC UnifiedS7-1500SQL ServerOPC-UAIFS FoodBRC
Challenge

A Galician canning plant with packaging lines and autoclave in information silos. IFS Food audits require manually pulling data from several systems, which means days of work per audit.

Solution

Centralised SCADA WinCC Unified with SQL Server logging. Batch traceability: autoclave temperature, operator on shift, weight, label. OPC-UA to the ERP to integrate with production orders.

Result

Audit report available on demand with a click. Full batch-to-batch traceability available for product recalls in minutes instead of days.

GALICIA NICHE
MARINE & FISHERIES · Aquaculture · Rías Baixas

Smart aquaculture: oxygen and feeding control

Monitoring and control system for fish farm. Dissolved oxygen, temperature and pH sensors. Automated feeding and mobile dashboard with SMS alerts.

S7-1200IgnitionMQTTIP67SMS Gateway
Challenge

A drop in dissolved oxygen in a cage at night means the total loss of that cage's biomass. The manager needs to know immediately, wherever they are.

Solution

Siemens S7-1200 PLC with IP67 periphery reading the probes. MQTT publish to broker. SCADA Ignition with responsive web view. Configurable SMS alerts on critical ranges. SQL history for analytics.

Result

Immediate reaction to oxygen drops. Reduction of losses from night-time incidents. Useful history to optimise feeding patterns.

FOOD & BEVERAGE · Palletising · Spain

Flexible multi-SKU robotic palletising

Palletising cell with ABB IRB 6700 capable of handling multiple SKUs in the same cell. Recipe change from HMI in <2 min, no reprogramming.

ABB IRB 6700RAPIDS7-1500ProfinetHMI
Challenge

A line with 12 different SKUs that change several times a day. The "one cell per SKU" option didn't fit the space or the budget.

Solution

Parameterised RAPID program, recipes in Siemens PLC, guided change from HMI. Recipe validation before cycle start. Per-SKU productivity stats to the SCADA.

Result

SKU change operated from the shop floor in minutes instead of hours. A single cell serves the 12 products. Short-term ROI compared with several dedicated cells.
