Process monitoring for modern coating processes
Our process monitoring systems combine the workflows in industrial finishing, conveying and drying processes to create stable and reproducible production processes. At Venjakob, we develop PC- and PLC-based systems that precisely control Coating machines, conveyor modules, drying systems and peripheral components. Visualisation, recipe management and complete process data ensure high operational reliability and reproducible quality - even with varying workpieces, coating parameters and speeds.
VEN CONTROL system and machine control
Control logic for networked coating and drying lines
Our VEN CONTROL system and machine control system is a modular control platform for industrial finishing, conveyor and drying modules as well as networked coating lines - also for systems from other manufacturers. The architecture combines PLC, HMI and standardised interfaces. New process modules, workpiece types or changed coating and drying parameters can be flexibly integrated without having to adapt existing processes. Diagnostic, format and monitoring functions support efficient and trouble-free production.

Advantages of process monitoring
Modern process monitoring creates clear sequences in industrial finishing, conveying and drying processes, ensures reproducible results and increases system efficiency. At Venjakob, we develop systems that simplify operation, monitoring and process quality. Advantages at a glance:
- Stable processes thanks to precise process control
- High transparency thanks to a complete database
- Simple operation thanks to clear HMI structures
- Modularly expandable for new process modules
- Can be integrated regardless of manufacturer
- Live process data availability
PC, PLC and HIMI control technology
For stable processes in surface technology
PLC systems take over the logical sequence control of a machine or line. They define when movements are executed, how processes react and which statuses are monitored. HMI interfaces make these sequences visible: operators receive clear parameters, messages and functions for safe operation, fast retooling and precise analyses. In this way, the control system remains comprehensible without having to intervene deeply in the PLC logic.
Precise PLC control
Precise cycle signals and optimised controls keep coating and drying processes stable - regardless of material variants or speeds.
User interfaces (HMI)
Visualised parameters, clear messages and quick changeover functions support safe system operation.
Process data & quality monitoring
All relevant process data is continuously recorded and is available for quality assurance, energy analyses and maintenance planning.
Process monitoring in the Venjakob process chain
Line and system controls combine all modules of a coating line - coating, conveyor technology and drying - into a coordinated process. They guide the material flow, control transfers and keep cycles stable. External systems are also safely integrated via defined interfaces.
In the Venjakob process chain, VEN CONTROL expands these functions into a continuous coating line - from pre-treatment, coating and drying to exhaust air purification. The control system maps all steps transparently and supports variable workpiece types, speeds and modular extensions.
Process monitoring: sustainable and safe
Sustainable and safe production requires stable control systems, energy-optimised operating modes and clear monitoring mechanisms. Our VEN CONTROL process monitoring system supports resource-saving processes, controlled temperature and air volume management and transparent emission values. The architecture is durable, easy to maintain and geared towards future requirements.

Future trends in process monitoring
Innovative control concepts for complex coating processes
Process monitoring is developing into self-optimising, data-driven systems. AI-based analyses, adaptive control algorithms and model-based predictions increase process stability and energy efficiency. Decentralised modules and cloud-capable interfaces enable flexible system concepts and simplify maintenance and monitoring.
Can Venjakob process monitoring also integrate machines from other manufacturers?
Yes, Venjakob's process monitoring system is designed to integrate different systems and machines - including those from other manufacturers - into a higher-level line control system. The decisive factor here is the interaction of all process steps in the coating process. At Venjakob, we consider the entire process chain and network industrial finishing, conveyor, drying and peripheral systems to create a consistent, coordinated production process.
Which PLC systems are typically used?
Modern systems use PLC controls with HMI visualisation, diagnostic tools and standardised interfaces that are specially designed for the precise control of industrial finishing, conveying and drying processes.
How does process monitoring support quality management?
Process data is recorded seamlessly and is available for QA, energy analyses and maintenance strategies.
How does a system remain sustainable?
Modular concepts allow for extensions - such as additional modules, industrial robotics or Industry 4.0 functions.
