SIRIUS industrial control — control, command & monitor

With growing pressure on industry to reduce time-to-market and implement more flexible and efficient production processes capable of delivering at least the same quality levels, quality and reliable product has never been more important. As well as speeding up development operations, businesses also must become more cost-effective to keep pace with competitors. What is more, stricter standards and guidelines are making such challenges even tougher.

With the SIRIUS range of Industrial Controls, APS Industrial and Siemens offer you a unique and comprehensive portfolio that helps you overcome all of these challenges whilst being suitable for every industrial control application.

The range includes everything you will require to control and protect, optimally start motors, command signal and protect, as well as monitor and respond. Below are two featured products within the signalling portfolio.

SIRIUS 8WD46 signal columns

On machines or in automated processes, signal towers are important visual aids for controlling complex processes.
