WEG is expanding its role in Türkiye’s agricultural machinery sector through a new automation solution developed in partnership with one of the country’s leading manufacturers in the segment. The cooperation introduces an intelligent fan speed control system powered by WEG’s CFW300 and CFW500 variable speed drives, marking another important step in a growing relationship that now transitions into continuous supply.
The solution is built around a dedicated application that uses the SoftPLC feature available in the CFW300 and CFW500 series. By processing real-time outdoor temperature data, the system automatically adjusts fan speed, ensuring that ventilation is delivered at the exact intensity required for maintaining ideal conditions inside the production environment.
This automation brings a tangible transformation to the OEM’s daily operations. Through precise and dynamic fan control, the system achieves:
- Automatic speed adjustment based on predefined temperature thresholds
- Optimized energy consumption
- Lower operating costs due to more efficient ventilation
- Better temperature stability across the production floor
In practice, this means that the ventilation system no longer runs at unnecessary high speeds, reducing energy waste and mechanical stress. The result is a more economical, reliable and intelligent operation — all powered by drive technology that is robust, compact and easy to integrate.
For the OEM, adopting WEG’s automation platform reinforces its strategy of modernizing machinery and internal processes. The company, recognized as one of Türkiye’s industry leaders, integrates the solution directly into its production site, achieving measurable improvements in efficiency while preparing for future upgrades as the cooperation evolves.
For WEG, the project demonstrates the strength of its drives portfolio in applications that require flexibility, intelligent control and strong cost-benefit performance. Even though there was no previous purchasing history, the successful deployment of this solution establishes a solid foundation for expanding WEG’s presence in the Turkish market — particularly among manufacturers seeking smart and scalable automation technologies.
While the supply is technically classified as standard, the impact it generates is far from ordinary. The combination of SoftPLC logic, precise temperature-dependent control and energy-efficient operation positions the CFW300 and CFW500 as key enablers for modern industrial ventilation systems.
As energy optimization continues to gain importance in manufacturing worldwide, projects like this show how intelligent drive technology can bring immediate improvements to daily operations. The ongoing cooperation reinforces WEG’s long-term commitment to supporting the development of smarter, more efficient and more sustainable processes across Türkiye’s agricultural machinery industry.
