Semi-Automatic Cylinder Filling: Safer, Smarter, More Reliable

Manual cylinder filling is still common in many regions. While it offers lower CAPEX, it comes with clear limitations – especially when it comes to safety.

Inside a Manual Filling Plant:
·      Heavy reliance on operators in the fill area
·      Manual valves, manual monitoring, manual adjustments
·      Quality & repeatability depend on operator skill
·      Labour-intensive and costly
·      Raised safety and hazard risks

How Semi-Automatic Filling (actuated valves + PLC control) changes the game:
·      Integrated AiFill G2 Control System manages the process (fill rate, temperature, dynamic pressure adjustments)
·      Consistent quality & repeatability with automatic adjustments
·      Significant reduction in operator hours → higher productivity & lower OPEX
·      Increased safety by reducing operator exposure
·      Valuable information & statistics logged automatically

The AiFill G2 Control System – the heart of our solutions:
·      Proven (AiFill G1 in operation since 2016)
·      Modular, future-proof, fast commissioning
·      Built on S7-1500 (ET200SP) with Ignition SCADA & HMI
·      Secure: RFID-ready, robust user management, defense-in-depth
·      Easy to operate: simple UI, recipe management, diagnostics
·      Optimised: historical data, runtime trending, dashboards for KPIs

In short, Semi-Automatic Filling delivers:
·      Increased Safety
·      Increased Productivity
·      Increased Quality
·      Reduced OPEX
