Certified Siemens Solution Provider

Ziemann Holvrieka holds the esteemed certification as a Siemens solution provider for the Siemens TIA engineering platform and the Siemens SISTAR BRAUMAT DCS control system. The SISTAR BRAUMAT control module library, developed in collaboration with Siemens, has evolved over time to leverage cloud-based software engineering with the latest BRAUMAT 8 version, based on WINCC Unified.

Experienced Automation Team

The Ziemann Holvrieka Automation team comprises highly experienced hardware and software specialists, with an average of over 10 years of experience in designing and commissioning breweries. Customer orientation, proactive problem-solving, continuous training, and the use of cutting-edge tools are at the core of ZH’s values.

Agile Methods for Efficient Design

During the detailed design phase, the ZH team employs agile methods (SCRUM) to develop systems with the highest design quality in the shortest time possible. Daily improvements are embraced and implemented, ensuring a constant drive for excellence and efficiency.

Instrumentation

Electrical System Design with EPLAN
Ziemann Holvrieka utilises EPLAN, the world’s leading application for electrical system design, to create the electrical system’s blueprint. A patented database connection ensures freedom from errors and redundancy. Compliance with industry standards, such as DINEN60204, guarantees the highest quality.

Complete As-Built Documentation

We provide the customer with a comprehensive electrical as-built documentation, ensuring transparency and enabling smooth maintenance and future upgrades.

Functional Design

Customer-Specific Software Development
ZH takes a customer-centric approach to software development, creating custom software based on a Functional Design Specification (FDS). The FDS is submitted to the customer for approval at an early project stage, fostering collaboration and alignment.

Cloud-Based Approval Process
To streamline the approval process, the FDS is delivered as an MTP file, enabling cloud-based checking and release by the customer.

Software Development

Adherence to ANSI/ISA-88 Standard
ZH has been following the ANSI/ISA-88 standard (IEC61512) for batch control for decades, ensuring a reliable and consistent approach to software development.

Preferred Automation Systems
ZH’s preferred automation systems are SISTAR BRAUMAT and PCS7 from Siemens. The software is thoroughly tested through a documented software FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) in collaboration with the customer.

Digital Twin

A Digital Twin for Future Plant
ZH offers customers a digital twin of their future brewery plant after the design freeze. The digital twin is continuously enriched with additional data until the plant’s handover. The twin includes a 3D mechanical model and an automation twin (MTP file) for process simulation.

Cloud-Based Access for Engineering Data

Customers are provided with cloud-based access to engineering data, facilitating life cycle management. An API interface allows customers to link specific data to the platform.

As an experienced turnkey provider, we also rely on clear interface management. This clearly describes for everyone where the interfaces are and what the transfer looks like at the interface. This ensures clarity about the place and how of execution.

However, interface management not only affects utilities and units, but also the construction of the building itself.

When designing our systems, we take location factors such as wind loads, earthquake hazards, etc. into account. These factors are incorporated into clear specifications for the construction companies involved. The company knows right from the start how foundations are to be laid, where wall penetrations or drainage systems are to be provided.

Basic Process, Tank, and Vessel Planning

Every element of the production process matters. Our team of expert engineers meticulously designs and plans each vessel, tank, and process component according to the specific customer requirements. We always prioritize the cost-effectiveness of the plant, ensuring optimal functionality.

Arrangement Planning

The magic is in the details, especially when it comes to a well-organized arrangement of vessels and logically planned piping. At Ziemann Holvrieka, our engineers pay close attention to these aspects during the production plant design process.

Layout Planning
