A reliable partner in the crisis 

Due to engagement and expertise of Sii engineers, further clients appreciate Sii’s services, KUKA Assembly & Test GmbH among them. 

Sii has already presented itself as a competent and extremely flexible partner with a strong and capable team. Working with them is goal-oriented and very pleasant. Sii makes a major contribution to KUKA’s success, as the consistent advancement of the necessary work shows good results – says Kim Fiedler, Concept Engineer Controls at KUKA Assembly & Test GmbH. – Thanks to Sii, we gain honest partnership, quality awareness, adherence to deadlines and of course costs optimization. In addition, flexibility is a very important factor. Sii is a large company specialized in various areas. The size of the company allows a high degree of flexibility.

How does the production market change? 

In the face of the crisis, factories and manufacturing companies are undergoing significant modifications. Maintaining flexibility and control over manufacturing processes is the key to efficient production management. 

Factories are transforming their processes and implementing cuttingedge technologies – says Przemysław Włoczkowski, Head of Hi-Tech, Electronic and Industrial Engineering Industry at Sii Poland. – They need to support predictive maintenance, connected workers, intelligent planning, digital twin, just to mention few of them. Leadership teams look for employees with a fundamentally different perspective; empowered engineers and technicians with tools to manage and solve cases and assist customers virtually. This new generation of factories can produce goods regardless of external factors, such as shortages and price changes of both products and services, closed borders or quarantined workers. Leading manufacturing companies are deploying a Smart Factory concept to digitize and robotize production – he adds. 

How to make an impact on the industry by bringing Smart Factory solutions to the largest number of beneficiaries? Partnering with global OEM suppliers provides such possibilities thanks to industrial robots and automation systems with diverse fields of application, which they produce. Those machines are used in various sectors, such as the manufacturing of production and assembly lines e.g. for car engines. This is where Sii Engineering Competency Center partners with such suppliers. 

Sii Poland automates the production of hybrid cars 

The Sii’s newest contribution to automotive manufacturing automation involves three transmission production lines for the client’s final customer. Apart from the flexible approach, Sii proactively proposed tools that ensure maintaining proper quality of the developed software. As a result, the client chose Sii as the vendor to deliver the project based on PLC and robot programming and ultimately, commissioning of the production line for hybrid cars in two locations – the USA and Germany. 

We are delivering 3 lines with a total of about 30-40 robots. Thanks to the involvement of Sii engineers, the client can complete their projects faster, cost-effectively and with internal quality assurance in the area of ​​PLC software– says Kamil Korziuk, Delivery Manager at Sii Poland. 

– We are looking into the future to become a long-term reliable partner for leaders of industrial automation sector. In particular, we focus on the proposition for our partners to enter Sii program: Road to Smart Factory a full range of tools to achieve the process digitalization. Starting with the analysis of current processes, both on hardware and software layer, and defining all necessary actions to achieve Industry 4.0 assumptions, we integrate tools for parameters monitoring and automation of collecting data. Next, we analyze production using archived data and production visualization, HMI, ANDON and SCADA systems, to prepare for the next step: introducing applications for production management and process control. Complete Smart Factory solutions mean the autonomous response with AI predictive maintenance, Business Intelligence, cloud solutions and Data Warehouses. This implementation proves to be beneficial for both the companies and their end customers – says Przemysław Grzanka, Engineering Competency Center Director at Sii Poland.
