Integra Control Architecture - Automation Levels

The automation pyramid is the classification of techniques and systems for controls and provides the different levels in production areas. The scopes of the control technologies are the levels of sensors-/actuators (level 1), fields (level 2) and controller (level 3).

Daimler Integra Standard - Benefits

5

Benefits

Standardization helps to reduce costs over the whole lifecycle. Integra was made to be operations and maintenance friendlySource: TG/MAD

• Tested processes, applications and interfaces

Standardization department keeps awareness

about the processes

• Same infrastructure in all center/shops

Known Hardware and software used

Reduced amount of used hardware

Same HMI and operating concept (look and feel)

• Integrated is a software environment for free to administrate, to maintain and to

visualize the plant facilities.

• Integra Standard - Network

“Know-how” transfer with Daimler

Support by other plants Knowledge base

Exchange of urgent spare parts

• Reduced variety and stock of spare parts

• Quotations are comparable due to common rules

Independence of supplier

Reduced costs due to product partnership

Reduced costs for Engineering (Templates)

Daimler Integra Standard - Efforts

6

Efforts

• More effort to train the suppliers (in case of first time)

PLC, HMI and Robot training

Documentation rules

From Commissioning to Final Acceptance

• In individual case oversized in small projects

• More effort for acceptance tests

(therefor benefit for Quality!)

Tracking

Checklists
