Innovative Solutions – made by Zippe
For many years, Zippe has been one of the leading batch and cullet plant manufacturers and has played a key role in decisive developments right from the start.
More than 670 batch plants have been realized worldwide. The automation and control technology of these plants is an essential element, being responsible for efficient, reliable and reproducible operation of a plant.
For this reason, the development of efficient software and hardware systems has a very special meaning for us. More than 45 professionals implement the latest generation of automation systems – customized solutions as well as fast and effective support (24/7), which is necessary in a modern manufacturing company today.
Everything from a single source
Each project begins with a conversation. First you describe your product, your needs and your objectives. We then show you the possibilities and solutions of how we can achieve this goal together.
Besides project analysis, planning and development of intelligent hardware and software solutions, our range of services also comprises the commissioning and integration of the new control system and the training of our customers.
These systems only work efficiently and reliably when everything is fine-tuned. As a full-service provider, we have a team of specialists available to cover all aspects regarding the automation of your system.
We offer a Full Service: from the analysis, planning and development of customized automation solutions right up to the assembly, commissioning and integration into your production processes.
Throughout the development of our joint project you will be advised by the same competent member of staff. He is always at your disposal as your contact person. This enables quick decisions and close contact without loss of information.

Project management
& hardware design
The interaction of know-how and technology automation
In this phase, our project team evaluates the results from consultations, compares them with your requirements, and translates them into initial system layouts.
In this regard, our project team can contribute its experience and know-how from more than 4000 implemented control systems worldwide.
The results are concrete proposals for the planning of processes, control cabinets, electrical installation, networks and all the necessary documents and specifications for subsequent phases of the project. This wealth of experience ensures that all industry norms and safety standards are anticipated and planned.
Hardware design
We develop the functions of your plant exclusively using the latest E-CAD software such as EPlan P8. The documentation and production documents are automatically created. An efficient workflow is ensured by using interfaces to our software development. Thus we already create the conditions for maximum effectiveness.
CASE STUDY: 900 ton/d glass plant – Germany 2022
High-tech container glass production with a capacity of 900 t/d.
For this green field plant, Zippe supplied the controls for the raw material feeding, dosing, weighing, mixing and transport for two furnaces and for the cullet processing plants.
A PCS7 process control system was employed. A redundant network structure as well as redundant servers ensure maximum system availability and operational reliability.

Software development
Efficient software and its optimal system integration are crucial components in automation and control technology. Because only the right software creates the optimal function that ultimately creates added value.
The ergonomic visualization of complex manufacturing systems is one of our core competencies. Our process control systems are fully integrated and interact directly with your plant.
Full integration
The visualization includes, among other things:
Central process visualization and monitoring, overview of complex processes, resources management, monitoring of running time, limit values, maintenance cycles, logging of events and much more.
Our services:
- Developing automation software (Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, ABB, etc.)
- Development of process control systems (WinCC, Citect, RSView, iFix, etc.)
- Planning of communication concepts and bus systems
- Software testing before delivery
- Development of database applications
- Interfaces for higher-level systems
- Remote maintenance connection for Teleservice
