Modular automation platform for efficient integration of new technologies and flexible adaption of customer requirements

Nowadays, and even more in the future, electronics and software belong to the main fields of product innovation. Therefore it is necessary to concentrate continuously on how to ensure an efficient and flexible integration of new technologies, as well as to focus on the integration of market demands into the engine control system. Based on a modularized portfolio of components, SaCoSone provides automation solutions for 4-stroke engines that can be adapted to individual technical requirements. One of the key factors to restrain complex control-, monitoring- and governing functions is a decentralised and function oriented system architecture in combination with distributed intelligence and local signal acquisition. Managing future challenges, such as emission reduction or the development of adaptive engine control methods in particular can be seen as examples for the necessity of flexible integration of technological innovation in automation systems. But even in times of rapid technological and systemic changes, SaCoSone still guarantees an identical interface for control signals and data communication in order to reduce efforts during system integration on the customer’s side. Efficiency and flexibility are major requirements for the whole product lifecycle and are reflected by the SaCoSone spare part philosophy. This philosophy provides long-term availability and world-wide storage to ensure very short response times. In combination with our Online-Service Support via a remote network access, customers all over the world that are equipped with a SaCoSone automation system can easily be assisted to analyse operational conditions and system messages of their engines.
