Industrial switches ensure reliable and security
Cimcorp designs and manufactures fully automated material handling and management systems for the needs of the tire industry. System data communication and device connections are ensured by industrial switches of the Cisco IE2000 series.
The influence of the brand cannot be denied
Cisco is a global network equipment manufacturer and is well-known as a brand. The reputation of the products is deservedly good, and the end-customer is always aware that the system based on Cisco products is high-quality and safe. Elkome delivers Cisco products to industrial customers in Finland.
- During a customer visit, Elkome mapped our network needs and immediately gave the demonstration devices for test use. After the tests, we agree on local storage of the products. This way we were able to minimize delivery times and the price was also the cheapest through Elkome, says Marko Isoviita from Cimcorp.
Industrial switches in the automation system
When connecting and networking automation devices, several things must be taken into account both in Cimcorp's system and in the customer's factory network. Installation with protocol requirements is very often customer-specific and demanding.
- Cisco products have important features, such as support for CIP (Common Industrial Protocol), Ethernet/IP and PROFINET protocols. The global support services also helped in choosing Cisco, says Henri Vaparanta from Cimcorp.
Automation systems for the tire industry
Cimcorp's Dream Factory automates material and data flows from raw material processing through the manufacture of semi-finished products and components, assembly, baking, inspection and storage to the loading dock. Dream Factory controls the entire material flow of the tire factory and thus ensures that the factory is able to produce the maximum number of high-quality tires.
