What is Integra?

Integra is a Daimler Standard for the manufacturing

technologies (hardware, software) which are used in most of
the Daimler plants world wide.

List of Major Guidelines

• Technical Documentation
• Numbering and Labeling
• Machine Safety
• Buy off procedure
• Bill of material
• Qualification Measures
• Computer systems
• Pneumatics / Hydraulic
• Converter Technology
• Communication Technology
• Production control
• Identification Technology
• Control Technology
• Robot Technology
• Further Production

Integra Control Architecture - Automation Levels
The automation pyramid is the classification of techniques and systems for controls and provides the
different levels in production areas. The scopes of the control technologies are the levels of sensors-
/actuators (level 1), fields (level 2) and controller (level 3).

Logistic Systems
Production Control System
Interface and
functions have
to be defined
Shopfloor Control Systems

Daimler Integra Standard - Benefits
Benefits
• Tested processes, applications and interfaces • Quotations are comparable due to common rules
 Standardization department keeps awareness  Independence of supplier
about the processes  Reduced costs due to product partnership
• Same infrastructure in all center/shops  Reduced costs for Engineering (Templates)
 Known Hardware and software used
 Reduced amount of used hardware
 Same HMI and operating concept (look and feel)
• Integra Standard - Network
 “Know-how” transfer with Daimler
 Support by other plants  Knowledge base
• Integrated is a software environment for free to administrate, to maintain and to
 Exchange of urgent spare parts
visualize the plant facilities.

• Reduced variety and stock of spare parts

Standardization helps to reduce costs over the whole lifecycle. Integra was made to be operations and maintenance friendly

Daimler Integra Standard - Efforts
Efforts From Commissioning to Final Acceptance

• More effort to train the suppliers (in case of first time)

 PLC, HMI and Robot training
Documentation rules

Tracking
Acceptance
Process
Checklists

• More effort for acceptance tests

(therefor benefit for Quality!)

• In individual case oversized in small projects
