WÖHWA Automation Center. The central platform for digital plant automation
The WÖHWA Automation Center brings automation, control and data management together in a web-based platform for the bulk materials industry. From material processing, dosing and loadout to logistics and energy management, it digitally connects key plant processes.
The WÖHWA Automation Center for every area of your plant
Reliable control of complex plant processes
WÖHWA plant control connects crushers, screening machines, conveying equipment, belts, storage bins, level measurements, sensors and operator stations in an integrated control system for ongoing plant operation.
- Integrated plant control
- Greater operational transparency
- Stable material flows
Precise material flows, digitally controlled
The WÖHWA blending and loadout system automates material flows from the silo through batching, weighing and conveying to loadout. Materials are controlled reliably, batched accurately and routed to the required destination with full traceability.
- Precise batching
- Efficient loadout
- Traceable material flows
Digitally controlled from check-in to exit
WÖHWA dispatch automation connects entry, check-in, weighing, loadout, delivery note and exit into one continuous digital dispatch process. Vehicles are identified automatically, checked and guided through the plant step by step.
- less manual coordination
- shorter turnaround times
- transparent plant logistics
Transparent energy data
WÖHWA energy management makes energy consumption, load profiles and key performance indicators visible during plant operation. It helps you understand consumers, processes and opportunities for optimisation.
- Transparent energy consumption
- Indicators for better decisions
- A foundation for load management
The digital heart of your plant
The WÖHWA Automation Center combines your plant’s key automation functions in a single platform. Dispatch automation, dosing and loadout, plant control and energy management can be used individually, combined and extended with suitable modules or add-ons.
All relevant automation functions are integrated into one system, from plant control to data analysis.
Production, energy, sensor and quality data become visible, traceable and available for process optimisation.
Automated control, dosing, loadout and logistics processes reduce manual intervention, speed up operations and ease the workload for operators.
KPIs, dashboards, event logs and quality records support informed decisions and provide traceability during plant operation.
Functions and add-ons can be added flexibly. Standardised interfaces also connect ERP, dispatch planning and weighing data systems.
The WÖHWA Automation Center provides the digital framework for a range of software and automation modules. Modules or add-ons can be added to suit your requirements.
The WÖHWA blending and loadout system automates key material flows within the plant, from batching individual components through blending and feeding to loading trucks, trains or ships.
- Batching, blending and feeding
- Truck, rail or ship loading
- Feeding devices, scales and batching as a complete system
A robust control solution for targeted material discharge from silos, bins, storage bays or storage areas. Depending on the version, operation takes place directly at the control cabinet or by radio.
- Clear sliding gate selection
- Manual and radio operation
- Repeatable results
A solution for controlled filling of big bags or similar containers. The target quantity is entered, material is measured using conveying equipment and a belt scale, and loading is completed under control.
- Defined fill quantities
- Weight measurement by belt scale
- Guided filling process
A solution for automatic or semi-automatic feeding of storage bays, stockpile areas and material zones. Material flow, destination bay and fill levels are digitally controlled.
- Feed destination bays automatically
- Capture fill levels clearly
- Use storage volume optimally
WÖHWA load management monitors the plant’s current power demand, projects consumption over the ongoing 15-minute interval and intervenes if a defined demand limit could be exceeded. Plant areas with adjustable power consumption are controlled selectively without unnecessarily putting the process at risk.
Why plant operators choose WÖHWA
From material processing, dosing and loadout to dispatch automation and energy management, all areas work together in one coordinated system.
Plant areas, control systems and data flows are connected, creating clear workflows without unnecessary breaks between systems or isolated solutions.
Plant status, processes and key performance indicators are brought together in a clear overview. Operators can monitor their plant centrally.
Intuitive user interfaces, clear process guidance and easy-to-understand displays simplify daily work and reduce operating errors.
Functions, modules and add-ons can be added to suit the plant and its requirements. Standardised interfaces also allow existing systems to be connected.
Coordinated control systems, monitoring and process logic support stable operation and help reduce unplanned downtime.
Automated processes reduce recurring operating tasks, coordination requirements and potential sources of error in day-to-day plant operation.
Production, energy, quality and process data are recorded digitally and made available for analysis, optimisation and informed decisions.
