H2SITE inaugurates a new control room developed in collaboration with Siemens.
H2SITE is scaling up its industrial presence with projects deployed across several European countries. To ensure the performance and continuous optimisation of its membrane reactors and separators, H2SITE has launched a control and data collection room built in collaboration with Siemens.
The control room is already integrated and will be further developed as the start-up progresses with several ongoing and future projects, covering a wide range of market segments that reflect the versatility of H2SITE's membrane-based technology. In the field of ammonia (NH₃) cracking, projects such as EIC, APOL and KATA are integrating this tool to monitor hydrogen production efficiency and system reliability in real time. Within the waste-to-hydrogen conversion segment, the HYIELD project is applying the control room to optimise process parameters and ensure stable operation during the conversion of waste streams into clean hydrogen. In hydrogen recovery applications, including AREARA, HERMES and CleanToPureH2, the platform enables continuous performance monitoring, predictive maintenance and detailed data analysis, ensuring the highest recovery rates and operational safety standards.
The control room is based on the beta version of Siemens WinCC Unified Collaboration and Datahub software. WinCC Unified is a flexible and scalable platform that unifies visualisation, control and data management within TIA Portal. From this platform, H2SITE teams can easily and securely view key project indicators worldwide, such as operating hours, operational KPIs, hydrogen production, energy consumption, ammonia usage and live charts on temperature, pressure and hydrogen purity. Data visualisation supports agile decision-making based on precise, real-time information. In addition, the control room is designed to improve process analysis, data capture and storage, and operational optimisation through smart dashboards.
