Slitter rewinder line automated by Zago Automation

Industrial automation · since 2007

We bring your production lines to life.

We design and build automation for printing, laminating, slitting and mixing lines: electrical panels, on-machine installation, PLC and HMI software, retrofits.

Every machine has its own rhythm. We study it, design it into the panels, write it into the software and take it into production: higher speed, less downtime, operators who work with ease.

Industries

We know your processes.

Coating and laminating line
01

Printing and laminating

Flexible packaging: rotogravure, flexo, coaters and laminators. Tension control, register and synchronisation for films and laminates.

Slitter rewinder
02

Slitters and rewinders

Automatic knife positioning, reel change, diameter control and taper tension.

Mixing plant built by Zago Automation
03

Mixing and dosing

Mixing plants for adhesives, inks and resins: recipes, gravimetric dosing, batch traceability.

We also work for paper mills and the textile industry.

Services

From design to production.

Electrical panel being built in the Zago workshop
01

Electrical design

Schematics, sizing, machine safety and complete documentation, ready for certification.

Wiring of a power panel
02

Electrical panels

Control and power panels built and wired to the highest standards, fully tested before delivery.

On-machine electrical installation
03

Electrical installation

On-machine and on-site installation: cable trays, wiring, sensors and actuators, through to signal testing.

Operator panel with an interface developed by Zago
04

PLC and HMI software

Siemens TIA Portal and WinCC first, as well as Rockwell, Schneider, ABB and Parker: logic, motion control and clear interfaces for the people who run the machine.

Slitting line after retrofit
05

Retrofit and revamping

A second life for your machines: new electronics and software, same mechanics, the performance of a new machine.

Operator console installed on the machine
06

Commissioning and service

Start-ups in Italy and abroad, operator training and remote support whenever you need it.

Software

Interfaces you understand at a glance.

Clear overviews, recipes and dosing, handling and alarms: we design every HMI for the people who use it every day. Below are some pages we developed for a laminating line with hot melt (demonstration values).

  • PLC and motion
  • HMI and SCADA
  • Recipes and batches
  • Trends and reports
  • Safety
  • Remote support

Company

Experience, method and a single point of contact.

Zago Automation was founded in 2007 in Castell'Alfero, in the province of Asti, Italy. Today it brings together designers, software engineers and installers with twenty years of experience in industrial automation, and is an official supplier to leading companies in their markets, in Italy and abroad.

We handle every stage in-house – design, electrical panels, installation, software, commissioning and service – so each line has a single point of contact, from the first drawing to the final acceptance test.
