Integration

The best conveyor system is of little use if it is not properly integrated into the existing infrastructure. Integration means more than just connecting cables and defining interfaces - it means integrating a new system into your operation in such a way that it functions smoothly from day one.

At GPI, we think integration right from the start. We analyse your existing systems as early as the planning phase: Which control systems are in use? What does the material flow look like? Where are the mechanical interfaces? On this basis, we develop solutions that fit - not solutions that you have to make fit.

Whether connection to existing conveyor lines, integration into higher-level control systems or integration into ongoing production with minimised downtimes - we coordinate all trades and ensure a smooth transition.

Depending on the project requirements, we take on, among other things

Mechanical integration

• Connection to existing conveyor lines and systems
• Adaptation of interfaces and transfer points
• Integration into existing steel construction and building structures
• Coordination with neighbouring trades

Electrical integration

• Integration into existing energy supply
• Cabling and connection to existing infrastructure
• Switch cabinet coupling and signal exchange
• Adaptation to customer standards and specifications

Control technology integration

• Connection to higher-level control systems
• Interface programming and protocol customisation
• Data exchange and communication between systems
• Integration into existing visualisations and control stations

Integration into ongoing production

• Planning of conversion phases with minimum downtimes
• Step-by-step commissioning and parallel operation
• Fallback solutions and emergency operating concepts

• Holistic understanding - we know mechanics, electrics and control systems in equal measure
• Experience with complex projects in ongoing production
• Clean interface documentation for all parties involved
• Coordination of all trades from a single source
• Minimised downtimes thanks to well thought-out conversion phases
