Palmse Mechanical Workshop (PALMS) is a family business established in 1992 by father and son. Today, PALMS is Europe's largest manufacturer of forest excavators and cranes. This leadership has been achieved through hard work and continuous product development.

Purpose

In 2016, the Palmse Mechanical Workshop invested in a powder coating automation line with KTL washing baths. The entire line is served by a Power&Free conveyor system, which has a huge variety of sensors to function.

In 2022, we received information that the Palmse Mechanical Chamber was concerned about the functioning of the system, and by that time various companies had tried to get the system working, but without success. Considering the fact that Ideal-Line a Aabo joined in 2019, with Elister OÜ as their official representative in Estonia, we were approached in a last ditch effort to get the system up and running.

Solution

After reviewing the system and a thorough analysis, we concluded that switching the conveyor automation to the Profinet protocol might be the best way to solve the customer's problems. 

After replacing the old sensors with Profinet-compatible sensors and carrying out some configuration work, the system has worked flawlessly to date. This solution has ensured a stable and reliable communication in the system, giving customer satisfaction and ensuring the downtime-free operation of the line, which until now had caused major material losses.
