Switchgear manufacturer undergoes digital transformation
steute Technologies is known as an expert for safe switchgear in complex and demanding applications. But over the last few years the company has also grown to become a systems provider. Today's customers can profit from complete solutions which range from sensors via Gateways to integration in ERP systems. In an interview, Stefan Schmersal, Acting Partner at steute, gives insights into the market, his own solutions and business strategies, as well as the challenges steute will face in the future.

Uno per tutti i casi
Una nuova serie di interruttori di emergenza a fune mostra i vantaggi della costruzione modulare degli interruttori elettromeccanici. Questa serie di interruttori è in grado di sopportare condizioni ambientali avverse, può essere utilizzata universalmente ed è estremamente versatile in termini di installazione, montaggio ed integrazione in apparecchiature preesistenti.

Position monitoring on loading systems - Switchgear for extreme applications
Petrol, natural gas and liquid gas are typical products handled using loading systems manufactured by Emco Wheaton. These loading systems are frequently to be found at the end of a process chain, at production sites or logistics stations like fuel depots or, in "ship to shore" applications, at ports.

Interruttori di emergenza a fune - Sicurezza delle macchine in ambienti estremi
Nel suo sito di Neuhof-Ellers, vicino a Fulda, l'azienda K+S Kali estrae potassio grezzo e sali di magnesio fino a 800 metri di profondità. L'atmosfera negli impianti di flottazione, che separano il cloruro di potassio dal salgemma ed altri componenti dei sali minerali, è estremamente corrosiva. Qui danno buona prova di sé gli interruttori di emergenza a fune della gamma "Extreme", accuratamente testati, che in caso di pericolo permettono di arrestare gli impianti molto rapidamente.

Test Extreme nel Mare del Nord
Dispositivi esposti a temperature estreme, acqua salata, incrostazioni, vibrazioni continue, atmosfere esplosive: test condotti in condizioni reali possono rivelare molte cose. Per questo motivo steute ha sottoposto diverse serie di interruttori ad un test di corrosione della durata di un anno, nel Mare del Nord.

Quasi indistruttibile - Interruttori per ambienti estremi
Le condizioni ambientali possono essere estreme, sia nell'estrazione a cielo aperto che nella produzione di fertilizzanti. Polvere, umidità, sostanze aggressive e vibrazioni hanno tutti un impatto sulle attrezzature. Sono quindi necessari interruttori robusti e resistenti, per garantire la sicurezza dell'uomo e della macchina. steute Technologies ha recentemente ampliato la propria gamma di prodotti Extreme, includendo un nuovo interruttore di emergenza a fune e un nuovo interruttore di allineamento nastro.

"For us it is all about the Extreme". Switches face hard times on the island of Helgoland
Cold, heat, UV rays, saltwater: on the island of Helgoland in the North Sea, the conditions are tough. For one year, steute tested its switchgear products there. In conversation with P&A, steute representatives Rainer Lumme, Product Manager Extreme, and Carsten Both, Head of Industrial Development, explain how this came about, what results the tests produced, and why such tests are becoming increasingly important.

Position monitoring in Extreme environments
The loading systems made by Emco Wheaton are used all over the world for handling large quantities of petrol, natural gas, liquefied gas or chemicals. To monitor the position of the loading arms, the company from Kirchhain near Marburg uses Ex position switches from the steute Extreme range, which remain reliable even in subzero temperatures.

Exposed to the elements. Switchgear for handling of bulk goods in ports
Switching devices used for the handling of bulk goods in ports need to meet high demands regarding corrosion resistance. But theoretical standards and practical experience do not always amount to the same thing. With this in mind, steute has had several switchgear series in its "Extreme" range tested in real-life conditions – on the South Mole of the island of Helgoland. Here the Fraunhofer IFAM (Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials) has a test facility for just such tasks.

From switchgear to systems. User interfaces and switching devices
At 57, steute is not nearly as old as elektrotechnik, but it is able to look back at over five decades of electrical and automation technology. The company is currently in the middle of a transformation from a switchgear manufacturer to a systems provider.

"Digitalisation requires agility and close customer contact". From a manufacturer of components to a provider of systems and network solutions
Numerous automation experts have shifted in the last few years from component manufacturers to solution providers. In order to visualise its own development in this direction, steute has changed its company name. Managing Director Marc Stanesby explains why this change was necessary and why customers can only profit from this increased skills set.
