Monroeville, PA – October 9, 2024 – Premier Automation, a leader in engineered and automation solutions, announces Premier Labs, a corporate venture studio focused on creating companies that leverage proven automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence solutions to solve industrial challenges.
Recently, one of Premier Automation’s Senior Automation Engineers visited a customer in Ridgway, PA to assist them with their A2 robotic cell machine. The machine was brought into the U.S. from an OEM in Germany that is no longer in business. Traditionally, German code writing can be complex, which led to subsequent challenges for the customer.
In addition, the system has a Siemens PLC with an FM357-2 module in it that was not functioning and needed to be replaced. These modules are not readily available—only from Siemens as a spare repaired unit. Once the module was replaced, it still needed to be configured, which not many people know how to do.
In conjunction with Siemens’ Hotline support, two of Premier Automation’s Senior Automation Engineers were able to determine the issues and get the machine back up and running. After several days of debugging and working through the code, Premier Automation was able to get the machine back into production.

Whitepaper: What Will Manufacturing Look Like When The COVID-19 Pandemic is in our Rear-View Mirror?
Overview
The answer to this is a difficult one. There are many ways this could end. One is a vaccine becomes available and life goes back to normal, although this may not happen for even a few years. The more likely result is we get through this surge of infections, and once free to do so, companies pick up the pieces and try to get back to production as they did before. But can they if social distancing strategies make the way they did business before obsolete, using multiple workers to complete tasks in groups where exposure may be likely? Will workers be comfortable coming to work where they risk exposure that isn’t just dangerous to themselves, but also to their families?
