Reliable coil repair for foundry operations

To ensure that a system is quickly available again, that it offers the best possible operational reliability for the user and guarantees efficient operation of the system, ABP Induction is expanding its Complete Customer Care service package to include coil repair in metal processing companies. ABP has developed an all-round package that enables the best possible planning and implementation of coil repair: The full service program includes scheduling, collection, repair and delivery in a single package.

Perfect coils in the ABP oven system

Time is money – now more than ever. This is why ABP not only ensures the highest possible system availability with our new digital solutions, but ABP also wants users to be able to restart the machines quickly in the event of repairs. The new full service program for coil repair is designed for that exact purpose.

Fixed price and deadline guarantee for coil repair

The experts at ABP Induction plan the downtime, collect the coil, repair it and deliver it directly back to the user. ABP offers this at a fixed price and with deadline guarantee. And if the ABP specialists do happen to fall behind schedule, that shouldn’t be to the detriment of the customer: Per day of delivery delay – measured against the repair time agreed in advance – ABP will reimburse 1 percent of the agreed repair price of the coil up to a maximum of 5 percent per order.

Coil repair – how it works

Depending on their condition, the coils pass through various steps as part of a repair order. These include, for instance, cleaning incl. stripping of the coil plaster and the intermediate layers. The ABP experts carry out various measures, such as stress-free annealing, sandblasting, straightening and reworking of the soldered joints or repair of defective areas using the proven ABP three-ring soldering technique. Subsequently, the process continues with multiple insulation coating, application of the inter-winding insulation in the wet insertion process and sheathing with Isoplan and silicate fabric. At ABP, the offered repair services are of the highest quality and can be completed quickly. All servicing work is documented with a test protocol, which includes a flow and pressure test as well as an insulation test. Modernization allows used coils to be brought up to the latest state of the art.

Easy remote access to machines and systems

Increasing bandwidths, higher speed, more/better performance and lower costs are all opening up new possibilities for communication in industrial environments. Numerous ABP customers are already harnessing these potentials with the well-known Linksys router solution. But technical development is progressing: ABP is discontinuing its support for the Linksys router solution because the component no longer meets the current state of security technology.  It is all about careful logging of accesses – and their secure encryption.

ABP Induction has developed a secure, future-oriented solution to ensure that you are on the safe side when networking globally distributed systems, remote machines or mobile applications: the ABP digital Expert on Demand (dEoD) in conjunction with SCALANCE network components from Siemens.

Reliability through Siemens technology

In terms of the technical basis for networking the plant, this means: ABP will rely on Siemens technology in the future, and with a wide range of modems and routers, offers the ideal remote network connection via leased line, telephone, mobile phone or Internet – whether wired or wireless, IP-based or analog.

The IP-based network components of the SCALANCE M and SCALANCE S series protect remote networks and the communication between them against unauthorized access and data espionage with the integrated security functions firewall and VPN encryption. Moreover, the SINEMA Remote Connect management platform enables the highest degree of security and easy administration of communication connections.

Customers are now ready to start utilizing comprehensive remote services. In the future, ABP Service will provide them with support via Augmented Reality for service cases, enabeled to solve technical problems remotely. Everything is documented in the portal myABP and users always have an overview of all the machines and systems/ equipment.

The Industrial Remote Circle from ABP: Secure remote access to the system + ABP digital Expert on Demand

Using the IP-based network components from Siemens – SCALANCE M and SCALANCE S – ABP protects remote networks and the communication between them against unauthorized access and data espionage by means of the integrated security functions firewall and VPN encryption. Moreover, the SINEMA Remote Connect management platform enables the highest degree of security and easy administration of communication connections. The benefits are:

  • Flexible: can be operated by any ABP service engineer even when “on the road”
  • Higher availability of the system
  • Detailed logging of all accesses
  • Increased security through high encryption
  • Access only to the system network, not to the customer network
  • Upgrades / patches are carried out by the manufacturer Siemens
  • Proven industrial solution from an established German manufacturer
  • Independent of the existing PLC
  • The server is hosted and operated in Germany, locally in Dortmund

Remote access with SCALANCE M and S: This is what routers can do

SCALANCE M The SCALANCE M portfolio consists of industrial routers for wireless or wired access. Siemens products enable the efficient connection of stationary and mobile subscribers to a control center. Comprehensive security functions, such as firewall and VPN encryption, provide protection during data transmission.

SCALANCE S Industrial Security Appliances SCALANCE S provides secure access to globally distributed systems, machines and applications. Siemens devices protect automation cells and all devices without their own protective functions against unauthorized access such as espionage and manipulation.
