Lantech takes a holistic approach to continuously improving its technologies and developing new features to meet ever-changing market demands. This is one of the reasons why the packaging machine specialists chose Weidmüller as a partner for electronic components. Lantech's control cabinets are now equipped with a variety of Weidmüller components: "We use a wide range of Weidmüller products. For example, we have installed power supplies, terminal blocks, relays, and sensor/actuator cables," explains Jurgen Wilbers, Operations Manager Engineering at Lantech. "All components are characterized by high quality and reliability. We also appreciate their ease of use, which significantly simplifies the maintenance and operation of our systems."

Unmanaged Switches of the Ecoline Series B

The latest Weidmüller products used at Lantech are the unmanaged switches of the Ecoline Series B, which Weidmüller launched at the end of 2023. These unmanaged switches provide a comprehensive solution for network connectivity in numerous applications. They cover the most common port combinations, enabling flexible use and ensuring easy integration into existing network infrastructures at Lantech. Furthermore, the advanced features of these switches play a key role in improving network availability. The integrated protection against broadcast storms minimizes the risk of network failures—a crucial factor in industrial environments, particularly in the packaging industry. The failure of a packaging machine delays delivery and, consequently, the completion of orders.

Increase the Reliability of the System

"The unmanaged switches from Weidmüller offer exactly the right features for our requirements," explains Jurgen Wilbers. "For example, the Quality of Service function to support real-time Profinet communication immediately convinced us." This function enables the prioritization of critical data packets, maintaining the system's real-time capability and increasing its reliability. Thanks to the implementation of Quality of Service, Profinet starts smoothly and without timing issues. Despite their powerful features, the unmanaged switches of the Series B are characterized by an extremely compact design, allowing for easy installation even in confined spaces.

Gradually Improve Performance And Reliability

Lantech also relies on Weidmüller's expertise in the field of power supply. "The implementation of Weidmüller's power supply solutions has not only allowed us to optimize our energy consumption but also helped to gradually improve the performance and reliability of our production processes," emphasizes Wilbers. Overall, the power supplies used contribute to stabilizing the energy consumption of the machines while simultaneously enhancing their reliability.
