"The project work group has consisted of a designated team in the two organizations. Thomas Brinch Boll also points another important detail in the collaboration: This has been necessary to provide the appropriate confidence and security in the project for both organizations, which means that it has not caused delays in production."

"BILA has been physically present at SGRE in Brande throughout the project, both with our mechanical, electrical, software and project managers. It has been a demanding task, which has been achieved through close collaboration between SGRE and BILA, explains BILA’s project manager Thomas Brinch Boll: Therefore, BILA had only two weeks to move what was to be recycled from the old line and get the new line up and running. Production line up and running in 14 daysĪn important requirement for the construction of the new production line was that it would take place during a two-week production stop on SGRE. This also means that operation of the system now requires minimal knowledge and experience benefitting the entire production. This ensures that we can provide better quality and service in the future."Īdditionally, the application allows for analysis and optimization of work processes and continuing the development of the production line.įinally, the working environment has been improved for the operators as the old systems have been replaced and updated with the latest technology. "With the new BILA application, SGRE can collect data and thus demonstrate the production quality of the different generators to our customers.
From a commercial point of view, SGRE may benefit from this as Matthias Arkenau, Head of Industrial Engineering, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, Plant Brande says: It has already resulted in a new collaboration between BILA and SGRE regarding BILA’s new data collection application, which allows SGRE to collect selected data on the various stands. In addition, the system on the entire production line is prepared for SGRE’s Smart Production. And thus, a significantly optimized production. This results in better quality of the generators produced, higher accuracy and It has been done by unifying the user interface on the HMI and making the process more intuitive and easy to follow for operators.
Here, great emphasis has been put on automating parts of the processes so that production is uniformed from generator to generator, regardless of which operators are working the stand.
Additionally, two extra stands have been added to the production line, which makes it even more flexible.Īnother significant change is the process of operating the rebuilt production line. It further means that each generator can be moved separately between stands instead of one line move of all generators. The advantage of the step-line rather than the pulse line is that each stand can work independent of the other stands. In total, there are eight different stands on the line. This means that each stand performs a certain type of task in the assembly of the generator. The new step-line production is built as stand production. New production line has increased flexibility This has ensured an increased efficiency and improved working environment for the employees. Through collaboration, development of a new generator production line has succeeded, which is more flexible and intuitive for operators to use and prepared for the future Smart Production. In close collaboration with BILA, SGRE has prepared for the future of Industry 4.0 - integration of the physical and digital world, in a project called Smart Production. In short, they wanted a step-line production instead of the old pulse line. In Brande, they, among other things, produce generators for their 3.0 MW wind turbines addressed towards their onshore customers.Īt SGRE, their goal was to make the generator production line more flexible, increase efficiency and increase production capacity. Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) is a leading global wind turbine producer with several divisions in Denmark.
