The MPG Mendener Präzisionsrohr foundry has been producing and processing metals for over 100 years and is one of the market leaders in copper alloy heat exchanger tubes in Europe. At MPG, the metals to be melted are transported to the furnaces by charging trolleys. Wireless solutions from Phoenix Contact ensure error-free communication in this harsh environment.

The most well-known brand from the Finnish company is the modular “Octopus” pallet wrapping machine. Bluetooth wireless systems from Phoenix Contact are the reliable and wear-free solution for communication between the central controller and rotating machine parts.

In extensive infrastructure systems, data frequently has to be transmitted from remote external stations to the control center. To this end, the RWE large-scale power station in Westfalen uses the Radioline wireless system from Phoenix Contact which is suitable for industrial applications. Thanks to this, the measured values acquired can be easily and cost-effectively transmitted to the control system to be documented.

The Dutch company Saval BV has designed a special fire extinguishing system for floating-roof tanks. Controllers and I/O modules, together with WLAN access points from Phoenix Contact, enable web-based status monitoring of the system.

After more than 100 years of operation, the locks of the Kiel North Sea-Baltic Sea canal are to receive new inverted siphons for water supply. During the construction, high-quality sensors measure all important points of the lock system. The remote measuring stations are connected to the central control and alarm system via Radioline wireless systems from Phoenix Contact.

In order to benefit from the tax concessions for energy-intensive businesses, consumption must be recorded in a transparent way. However, the design of a corresponding management system can prove to be costly if numerous cables have to be laid to connect the measuring instruments. Forger Walter Mester GmbH & Co. KG therefore opted for a wireless solution from Phoenix Contact.

Operation of the Niederhausen hydroelectric power plant also includes monitoring the level of the adjoining reservoir. The values recorded as well as the operating states of the flood and ground water drainage pumps are transmitted via the Trusted Wireless system to a master wireless module installed in one of the towers.

The Seebach waterworks joint board uses a wireless solution, which is suitable for industrial applications, in order to communicate between various substations. With the aim of obtaining drinking water, parts of the remote control network are now established on the basis of the new Radioline wireless system from Phoenix Contact.

The “Technische Betriebe Wilhelmshaven” waste management service is continuously optimizing its systems. As part of the modernization of the wastewater treatment plant, four clarifiers, the grit channel, pumping stations, and digestion towers were fitted with a wireless system from Phoenix Contact in order to cost-effectively transmit signals and data to the control center.
