Case Study: a leading textile manufacturing company achieves greater reliability and faster networking with LSI's drive and controls retrofit

Leading Textile Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A leading textile manufacturing company faced potential production downtime due to its reliance on discontinued Siemens MASTERDRIVE systems and other legacy equipment. They engaged Logical Systems Inc (LSI) to design a new equipment bay and execute a simultaneous upgrade of the outdated drives, related hardware, and software code to mitigate this risk.

LSI replaced the legacy drives with Sinamics S120 drives, upgraded the PLC to an S7-1500, and modernized the network by switching from ProfiBus to faster ProfiNet Industrial Ethernet. The vendor's off-site preparation with a spare winder allowed for a swift on-site installation, with the entire system retrofitted and running within one week. This solution from Logical Systems Inc resulted in dramatically increased system reliability, the virtual elimination of unplanned downtime risk, and a significantly faster, more flexible network.
