Ethernet in the Paper Factory.
Paper Factory Stora Enso Poland S.A. Stora Enso is the market leader for integrated paper, packaging, and wood-based products. In 2004 Stora Enso acquired 66% of the Polish packaging manufacturer Intercell S.A. and created Stora Enso Poland, now one of the leaders in the Polish pulp & paper marketplace. The company produces pulp, paper, paper bags, corrugated cardboard, and boxes, using ecologically sound and sustainable processes. Due to the severe atmospheric conditions, the old copper network needed to be replaced by more reliable fiber optic cables. Hirschmann’s products were chosen because they not only function under extreme environmental conditions, but also support high availability redundancy protocols. The end result is that the new network has improved the resilience of the entire manufacturing process.
Siemens Computer Tomography with LWL Technology
The best is just good enough: Siemens computer tomography with Hirschmann fiber optic cable technology.
About every fourth scan with computer tomography worldwide is performed with a CT system from Franken Forchheim. Siemens develops and produces worldwide state-of-the-art technology here. The highest demands are made on the representation of the computer-generated images. The fiber optic cable technology by Hirschmann makes a contribution here.
Industrial ETHERNET in VW-Golf Production
Innovative network design for the young generation
