Specialisation
Pharmacy
Liquid dosage forms, batch production, raw material records, labeling machines, pure water production, pure steam generators, particle measurement, warehouse management.
Siemens PCS7 control system, process visualization, trending and archiving of measured values and alarms, creation, printing, and archiving of production protocols, cooperation in validations. Development engineers are members of the ISPE organization.
The control systems comply with the current requirements of EU regulations for GMP, the requirements of the American FDA standard, and the requirements stated in GAMP5. They also comply with the requirements of the CFR 21 Part 11 standard, which sets procedures and technical requirements for the use of computer systems based on electronic data storage and using an electronic signature.
Strip Processing
Longitudinal and transverse coil cutting, surface treatment by mechanical, chemical action and coating application, rewinding and unwinding of the strip, tension regulation, strip centering, weighing, and packaging of output coils.
During the commissioning of the equipment, individual measurements of the mechanical properties of the unwinder and winder drive are carried out to optimize the drive settings for very low tensions. The tension control ensures precise winding and tightening of individual turns on the winder drum.
The strip is cut when stopped or using flying shears. A special case is the cutting of trapezoidal sheets by rotating the shears using Siemens Sinamics S120 frequency converters.
Metal Surface Treatment
Pickling, phosphating, nickel plating, galvanizing, neutralization, exhaust, and absorption. Cascade transport for coils and bars, continuous transport for strips.
Fully automatic or semi-automatic transport, selection of the pickling program – recipes, transport optimization for cascade pickling as a discrete production system with events using software tools, see Computer Simulation >>. The output of the computer simulation is hourly production, confirmation of a sufficient number of manipulators and C-hooks, including their utilization.
The metal surface treatment equipment is exposed to aggressive chemicals, so the materials used for the electrical installation (cable routes, ducts, tie wraps, and fasteners) are responsibly dimensioned with this in mind.
Special Purpose and Assembly Machines for the Electrical and Automotive Industry
Assembly and testing stations for headlights, leak testing, riveting machines, welding machines, screwdrivers, curing ovens, and more.
Monitoring of production processes, sequence control (poka-yoke, pick-to-light), data collection at the technological level in control systems and processing of statistics in monitoring systems (PLC, HMI, SCADA), machine efficiency, fault frequency, continuous quality monitoring.

Transport and Processing of Semi-Finished Products
Conveyor systems, lifts, turntables, transfer cars, welding lines, saws, drying chambers and ovens, weighing systems, palletizers, packing lines, 2-axis/3-axis manipulators.
Insulating materials, acoustic ceilings, steel or aluminum wheels, car seats, steel tubes, rubber hoses.
We carry out the analysis of the production system layout design, verify the basic capacity parameters using computer simulation on the processed digital model, and optimize bottlenecks or collision points.
SAFE & SECURE AUTOMATION
When designing electrical equipment, we consider the safety application standard ČSN EN ISO 13849-1, which uses a risk graph to determine the required safety level and works with the term “required performance level PLr”; less so the ČSN EN 62061 standard, where the method used represents a numerical approach and works with the term “required safety integrity level SIL”.
The general principles for design, assessment, and risk reduction are covered by the type A standard, ČSN EN ISO 12100. The risk assessment is performed for all hazards, the standard defines a sequence of steps, starting with the determination of the machine function.
DIGITALIZATION & PC SIMULATION
The portfolio of services includes the creation of a digital model and subsequent computer simulation of the behavior of a discrete manufacturing system. We specialize in branched conveyor systems with buffers, the production of semi-finished products using intermediate warehouses, assembly lines, and workstations in the automotive industry, and last but not least, galvanizing and tank pickling lines. We use the Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation simulation tool.
Computer simulation helps in designing a new production line, modernizing the existing one, introducing a new product into production, or increasing labor productivity. With a high degree of probability, it can be verified that the proposed concept of technical solution can meet the customer’s requirements.
Bottlenecks or collision points and states are identified, selected speeds, production per unit of time, sufficient number of defined resources, or the capacity of inter-operational buffers are verified, and measures are taken – changing the layout, number of resources, modifying transport flows or decision criteria, all without deploying actual resources (machines, operating personnel).
Directly in the model or in an external MS Excel table, it is possible to define a production batch or mix of batches, recipe, define work shifts, number of functional resources, etc. The result is reports and graphs, answers to questions that help responsible personnel in decision-making. Designers, production managers, investment staff, economists, and company management. They do not make decisions based on estimates and feelings but on facts.

SOLUTION & PARTNERSHIP
Our specialists will help you with the comprehensive design of an industrial identification system using RFID technology, dimensioning suitable data carriers, read/write heads, communication interfaces, and of course, the appropriate configuration of the control and monitoring system, whether on a PLC or PC platform. We offer comprehensive automation and industrial identification solutions for your production line.
TAURID is a certified partner of Siemens for the field of industrial identification. SIMATIC Ident systems include RFID (radio frequency identification) technology and CRS (code reading systems), as well as newly introduced RTLS (real-time locating systems). RFID technology is applicable wherever there is a requirement for greater flexibility and quality of production, tracking the movement of individual semi-finished or final products, or transport baskets, pallets, etc.

FANUC and KUKA robots
We offer automation solutions for production lines using FANUC or KUKA industrial robots. We cooperate with proven gripper suppliers and, at the same time, develop our own robust grippers tailored to specific requirements with our partners.
The robots can work independently, but we usually integrate them into a production system, which we control via PLC. Communication between the PLC and the robot controller is handled via the PROFINET (PROFIBUS) bus for Siemens PLC, or via the EtherNet/IP bus for Allen Bradley PLC.
An advanced solution for robot guidance using machine vision with artificial intelligence is almost essential for applications in dirty environments, with contaminated products, and in environments with variable lighting conditions where it is impossible to shield the workspace and use external lighting.
We offer all pick-place applications from depalletization, transferring semi-finished products for processing, to palletizing. Our solution utilizes top-notch sensors and is capable of synchronizing with moving objects in real-time, for example, for hanging parts on overhead conveyors. Assembly, packaging, or inspection are other applications where speed, accuracy, and flexibility are key.
Are you unsure whether a 6-axis, palletizing, SCARA, or collaborative robot, or a combination of them, would be best? Contact our specialists with a request for dimensioning a stationary or mobile robot with a gripper.
WMS/MES Flexit
Our FlexIT solution is a new management concept that we advocate in the automation, robotics, and digitization of production and process lines in the industry. It provides an effective response to the growing demands related to flexible manufacturing, a wide production portfolio, semi-finished product identification, data archiving, and complex logistical control functions.The still-developing modular system FlexIT belongs to the group of logistics management systems. These are also known by the acronym MES (Manufacturing Execution System), with FlexIT also incorporating elements of WMS (Warehouse Management System). Its application can be imagined, for example, for dip pickling and galvanizing lines, in-process buffers and warehouses, and complex conveyor systems (including AGV/AMR). It separates often complex embedded logistical control functions from the PLC/SCADA layer directly into the MES layer.
The basic modules are:
- Process control
- Communication with superior (ERP) and subordinate (PLC) systems
- Logging and tracking of products and events
- A user-friendly graphical web interface for management
