The electrical planners of JM used this time to create an EPLAN macro for every type of I&C location and to define the variables using EEC One. In the first weeks after the order was received, there were still no released documents available. This distribution was made easier by a comparable structure in the process engineering plans of GEA TDS. For this reason, the JM planners created a sample schematic in accordance with EN 81346-1 with superordinate and simple function and location indicators. The service technicians in charge attached great significance to being able to quickly find the right plan for the affected EI&C site in the event of a failure. For this reason, a very precise structure was required for the electrical planning. The very tight timescale of four months and the incorporation of existing devices from the dairy’s other locations were also challenging. The particular challenge of this project was not just the scope of more than 15,000 schematic pages. Managing director and company founder, Jürgen Möller says, “We were able to impress with an even larger reference project that we created with the Excel schematic generator, and with a cost-effective price because we work with a high degree of automation.” Tight timescale – incorporation of existing devices (CBC) to carry out the planning and construction of a large-scale dairy in Netivot/Israel for end customer Tara, JM received an inquiry and then the order for the electrical planning. When GEA TDS was commissioned by Israeli company Central Bottling Co.
Large-scale project: New construction of a dairy Among the customers, with whom JM works continually, are GEA TDS GmbH of GEA Group AG, which is one of the leading plant engineers for the production of dairy products, fruit juices and raw materials for the food industry. The projects range from dairies and systems for the food & beverage industry through to environmental simulation plants and tank systems for airports. As a service provider for plant engineering, JM Hardwarekonzepte GmbH in Büchen – about 50 km south-east of Hamburg – undertakes the electrical planning of process engineering systems.
This task was made considerably easier by EPLAN Electric P8 and the schematic generator EEC One. JM Hardwarekonzepte GmbH in Büchen has concluded a demanding project: For a new large-scale dairy in Israel, the company did all the electrical planning with about 17,000 schematic pages.
