Biernacki Engineering

In order to increase the efficiency of a line, experience and precise system analysis are required as a basis. Depending on the initial situation and conditions, an efficiency increase in the double-digit percentage range according to DIN 8782 is possible. In our last major project, it was a remarkable 30%.
A central point lies in the best possible digital connection and the coordination of the machines with each other. Machines from many different manufacturers are often located in one line, and they are frequently poorly coordinated with each other.

Another important point is proactive control.

Most machines in a line are from different manufacturers and they do not work optimally with each other, which results in unnecessary idle times. Usually, customers do not know there is room for optimization. Through intelligent networking, lines are coordinated and controlled far better, downtimes are reduced and efficiency is significantly increased.

Non-productive times represent an enormous potential to optimize the overall performance.
From downsizing the process for the same product type to reducing the operators‘ workload through automated processes, a lot is possible. The key is: Lean changeover times increase efficiency.

We program your plant control according to your requirements. Standard programs like Siemens Step7, TIA, Allen Bradley are our daily tools. We, therefore, implement software and hardware extensions quickly and effectively. Over the years, we have developed our own software modules when standard programs could not keep up with our customized designs.
Depending on the application, we use Iconics, Zenon, WinCC, and Movicon for visualizations. If these programs are no longer sufficient, we also implement platform-independent visualizations via JavaScript. You can access plant data in your in-house intranet with a standard browser and have access to your plant at your desk at any time. And, of course, you can also do this from your smartphone or tablet on the go.

Many customers work with the same systems for years and are very satisfied with them. However, while maintaining machines it often turns out that spare parts and suppliers are no longer available, or that manufacturers stopped servicing the systems. This is what happened at the Van der Mollen company, which had to stop its service. But we can help: We program customized updates for your system or integrate new programs – regardless of your system’s manufacturer.

We also offer a complete electrical overhaul of your system, for example with a new safety concept. Production lines with machines from different manufacturers can be optimized too, through proactive cross-machine control.

A machine manufacturer can only optimize and control the process of his own machine.  In modern production lines, however, it is necessary to find cross-machine solutions. Only then does your system become efficient.

We are happy to take over the adjustment of your plant to new products and new recipes.

You should not have to struggle with outdated inflexible plants while developing innovative new products. With our experience, we will convert your plant according to your requirements. We are also the right address for format changes and mechanical or electrical support. By now we have efficiently packed a large variety of products – beer, wine, CSD, juices, mineral water, whey, and more.

Commissioning is always a unique process. We know the process very well and have put into operation series machines and prototypes worldwide. We would be pleased to support you on-site. May it be with the mechanics, electrics, or programming of your plant. We are also happy to take over the site management for you.

Common remote maintenance solutions have so far been very expensive. Manufacturers can only support their own machines via remote maintenance. And only they have access to remote maintenance. Wouldn’t it be better if remote maintenance would cover the whole plant? And if you could do it yourself? We

offer you an independent remote maintenance system that allows you to access your equipment yourself. This system works across all machines and plants.
