Good news from Spain!!
22.08.2022
We’ve successfully finished our part in new warehouse project for Amazon in Oviedo lately. As a part of a greater team we’ve programmed an advanced sort control system.
It included a product transport and sorting system. The last tests in our areas were successfully completed, in which only a few of our engineers shown in the photo participated. The rest of our Poznań team is already working on another project in the UK.
We’re proud that we can take part in such demanding and responsible projects.
Decide to get virtual commisiong by Emulate 3D!
03.08.2022
What can be done to increase confidence that the project will be completed on time and to minimise the number of problems during commissioning on site?
In our opinion, it’s worth to do virtual commissioning in Emulate3D!
What Emulate3D brings to the project:
- Significantly shortens the time of system commissioning,
- Reduces project costs thanks to the verification of design at the preliminary stage,
- Provides the ability to test the system expansion without interfering with the already existing system,
- Enables the verification of design assumptions and the selection of optimal system parameters before the start of implementation.
We prepare a 3D model for every system we make, so that we can be sure of a successful implementation before the physical start-up. We have seen and experienced that this type of approach increases the efficiency of the work and shortens the time of the project.
Creating and programming the control system, we can check our work and the customer can be sure that the project has been done correctly and flawlessly.
Welcome Robert to our team!
20.07.2022
We’re glad that ambitious and reliable PLC programmer has been working for us since the beginning of July.
What Robert likes the most about programming is fact that when you write a program, you create something that will have a specific application.
In Robert’s opinion PLC programming is very cool because the code line effects are very real and you can see if the machine or the entire production line is working as planned.
We wish Robert effective development in Stevia and many projects completed successfully with us 🙂
Factory Acceptance Test meeting
08.07.2022

DemoSim – general system overview
10.08.2021
We are working at our recently upgraded mobile presentation rig. Previous version was build in 2019 and had different simulation approach. All system behavior was simulated in the PLC (transfer times, sensor activations, jams etc.) whereas new version uses Emulate 3D software for this purpose.
Stevia Automation is an official integrator of atvise® scada, therefore the system is controlled by this very software. Mobile presentation rig is equipped with some physical gear (key switches, buttons and lamps) to provide some basic interaction but the main purpose of the the rig was to present the capabilities of WEB SCADA, especially its wireless implementation on GETAC tablets. Both atvise® scada (development and runtime) and OPC server handling communication between PLC and SCADA are installed on small PC within the rig.
This is our first video dedicated to mobile atvise® scada presentation rig. Thanks for watching!

Small conveyor system with Fanuc Robot and Echo Dot 3
27.07.2021
We are in preparation to LogiMAT 2022, where we will show a small conveyor system created on 3D Printer. This installation will be also equipped with Fanuc Robot and Echo Dot 3 Voice control system.
Each visitor will have the opportunity to win a gadget on our stand, if he only knows the answer for the question which will be displayed on HMI screen and read by Echo device. The robot will then place the gadget on the first conveyor. The Contestant has to select the correct answer until the system transports the item to the penultimate conveyor. When the answer is correct the gadget will be transported to the last conveyor otherwise the robot will bring it back to the store place.
When no one is taking part in our game, the robot will play alone. What exactly will he do? Let it be a secret.
Prefabrication of control cabinets – electrical tests
16.07.2021
Yet another four control cabinets will leave our workshop in the next couple of days. Although the project was demanding (delivering dates), we managed to complete it on time! Today we took the last measurements and did final electrical tests. We must make sure that the cabinets will work reliably for many years
Internal transport system tests in Emulate3D
05.07.2021
One of the first projects where we used the Emulate3D environment to test our Stevia’s PLC/SCADA software Standard was a project consisting of transporting trays via a high-speed three-level lift using product tracking to four destinations.
The commissioned system works flawlessly and the tests performed reduced the commissioning of four identical internal transport lines to two weeks.
Design and building of control cabinets
23.06.2021
In addition to PLC programming, our Katowice-based team also prefabricates control cabinets, switchgears, control panels, junction boxes and inverter cabinets based on either documentation designed by our engineers or received directly from the customer.
For better price accuracy tenders are preceded by cost estimation of preliminary material lists.
Thanks to the well-established relationship with our suppliers we can offer attractive prices for components and devices used in control cabinet construction.

Voice control into our material handling demo system
16.06.2021
Using the time between projects, we decided to implement voice control into our material handling demo system consisting of a FANUC industrial robot and conveyor system model. Voice control was based on Amazon’s Echo Dot 3 speaker. This, one of the most popular Amazon products, is not only a radio device. It is also a virtual intelligent assistant Alexa with many options which can be used in different ways. In our application we have connected Echo Dot 3 speaker with the Raspberry Pi using NodeRed software and have established Ethernet communication between Raspberry Pi and the Robot controller.
Below find a short video showing the first successful attempts of voice control of a robot program.
We are now working on a second step which is a voice controlled conveyor system with command confirmation feedback to Echo Dot 3 speaker. We will present the results soon.
