Project Background

The flagship project is a new marine diesel engine assembly line for 14/16-cylinder engine production used in power-generation applications. The customer is an intelligent equipment / machinery OEM serving the powertrain and diesel generator-set industry.

Automation Challenge

The line required multi-station coordination, heavy engine handling, gantry turnover, automatic tightening, KUKA robot loading, PLC master and distributed station control, HMI/SCADA monitoring and coordinated VFD / servo drive systems.

Control System Scope

VectorTech Controls supported electrical control cabinet design, cabinet manufacturing, Siemens PLC programming, HMI programming, SCADA functions, VFD and servo drive integration, FAT and engineering support for final project delivery.

Why This Case Matters

This is not a simple standalone cabinet project. It shows the ability to support heavy production-line automation where mechanical stations, drive systems, safety circuits, operator interfaces and data/reporting functions must work together.

Related Capabilities

The project connects directly with VectorTech service capabilities including custom PLC control cabinets, VFD control panels, servo drive control panels, HMI/SCADA integration and FAT support for overseas industrial automation projects.
