MIXING GROUP

ADVISE@ ES is a multifunctional and complete mixing room

automation system. lt was created and developed with all

of the companies within the HF MIXING GROUP, providing

extensive knowledge and experience based on more than

150 years of business in creating machines and control sys-

tems for the rubber processing industry.

Best of bestThe well proven and worldwide estab-

lished automation solutions by Farrel,

Pomini Rubber & Plastics Srl and

Harburg-Freudenberger Maschinenbau

GmbH have been combined in the

ADVISE@ ES (Execution System) as

"Best Of" product.

ADVISE@ ES was designed for this world's

modern mixing rooms. ADVISE@ ES

users appreciate the intuitive handling

of the system and the easy application

of sophisticated technologies in equal

measure. The objective of ADVISE@ ES

is to always guarantee best possible

product qualities while at the same time

reducing costs.

As each mixing room is as individual as

the companies of the rubber processing

industry themselves, ADVISE@ ES was

designed for maximum modularity and

scalability, lt is already being used in labo-

ratory mixer applications having no "up"

and "downstream" equipment, but

making high demands on the mixing

technology" ADVISE@ ES is the optimal

solution for the flexible demands of the

technical rubber industry as well as

for the tire industry with having several

mixer lines, high throughputs and full

control of the material flow.

Consolidated know-how for optimalresultsThe companies of the HF MIXING

GROUP can look back on long lasting

partnerships with their customers.

Today a competent team of electrical

engineering technicians, lT special-

ists and process engineers of the

HF N/lxlNG GROUP works together

closely and offers innovative solutions

for mixing room automation, providing

longterm benefits to our customers.

Due to the applied networking ofprocess, hydraulic, ddve, and electric

engineering, the components of the

automation are optimally adapted toeach other giving essential basis for an

efficiently useable automation system.

Modular automationADVISE@ ES is an automation system

for the entire mixing room, stading from

raw material storing, through manual

welghing, the mixing process itself,

mills, strainers, and other downstream

equipment, up to the compound store.

Well-engineered automation compo-

nents are available for these areas or

subsystems. Depending on the require-

ment it is possible to select single ap-plications and to combine them to an

integral automation solution.

Even high level ERP systems and also

laboratory systems can be linked with

the mixing room automation solution by

standard interfaces.

Web-based solutionDue to the consequent application of

modern programming language and

tools, ADVISE@ ES was designed as

a web-based solution. Each office

computer b,eing equipped with a web

browser and a connection to the auto-

mation network can be used as a work

station. Insialling the software centrally

onto a server ensures optimal system

maintenance.

Essential reasons for the use of an

automation system:

. Guarantee of highest accuracy and

reproducibility of the mixing and

weighing processes by capturing

and supervising of process values

more than l OO times per second.

. Crucial improvements in productivity

are possible through seamless and

shorl term changes of recipes orproducts.

. Saving of costs for energy and raw

material by using intelligent process

engineering closed loop controller

modules.

o Possibility of developing new tech-

nologies by use of nearly every

measured or calculated process

value in the step sequence controller.

. lmprovement within the supplier

ranking through consequent

documentation of the processes and

material flows.

lntelligent handling of the process

engineeringThe R&D Centre of the HF l\/lxlNG

GROUP is equipped with state-of-the-

ar1 mixing room technology. All new

and further developments - especially

in the area of ADVISE@ ES are devel-

oped and tested here until thelr starl ofproduction. This guarantees full func-

tionality and operating safety for future

installations from the very beginning.

Especially the intelligent algorithms of

the torque-depending plasticizer injec-

tion, ram position control and com-pound temperature control have been

tested under real conditions and are

available for safe use in the mixing room.

Process and production transparencyln order to recognize potentials for op-

timizations in the mixing room, a ciear

illustration of the ongoing processes srequired, that assumes a consequent

acquis tion of all relevant process data.

The ADVISE@ ES automation system

contains a measuring data acquisition

system developed specially for the

demands in the mixing room. For each

machine all available sensor signals as

well as a number of online calculatedprocess values can be recorded and

stored. Collected data is compressed

related to a batch so that all detailed

information is still instantly available for

analysis even after more than one year

of production,

Besides a number of standard repods

the ADVISE@ lP Charl Analyzer offers

the possibility of comprehensive gra-

phical analysis of the recorded process

data. This tool enables to display seve-

ral process parameters out of one batch

as well as one parameter over several

batches as a curye in an ></y diagram.

An exporl of data and reports into ta-

bles or into pdf files is also possible.

lnformation portal for the mixing room

The increased demands on quality, out-put, efficiency and adherence to delivery

dates and flexibility in the production

of rubber compounds requires that thepersons responsibre n the mixing room

take fast and efficient decisions based

on accurate information. That means: it

is of essential importance to dispose of

the "correct" information to be able to

take the "correct" decisions. ADVISE@ lP

was developed for the decision-makers

in the mixing room. lt helps to recognize

correlations and influences on produc-

tion and on production processes.

Therefore the process data is com-pacted and prepared especially for stor-

age in a data warehouse, for example

for direct comparisons, calculations, or

simply just for statistic analyzes over a

very long period of time.

Typical questions, for example "What is

the throughput of last week compared

to those of last year?" or "Do the dif-

ferences in the weighing accuracy de-pend on the season?" or "How does

the efficiency of the machine change

with the shifts"? or "Who is the sup-plier of the raw material in compound

xyz-1234?" , etc., can be answered

completely at any time.

ADVISE@ lP is an attractive tool ena-

bling the user to get individually creat-

able analysis and diagrams.
