Future-Ready, Scalable Systems
Modular software building blocks and digital platforms let you expand and adapt your systems to new requirements at any time.
Industry Use Cases
- Challenge: An existing injection-molding system produces inconsistently, unplanned downtime occurs frequently, and spare parts for the old control system are barely available.
- Solution: Modernization of the control system, drives, and sensors; integration of a modern HMI; and connection to the MES. Enhanced with camera-based quality inspection.
- Result:
- 80 % reduction in unplanned downtime
- 15 % increase in production capacity
- Real-time quality control directly on the line
- Challenge: A company with automated storage and conveyor systems experiences frequent disruptions due to outdated position-control systems and confusing data flows.
- Solution: Implementation of modern position control and cloud analytics, revision of the control software, and integration of predictive-maintenance functions.
- Result:
- Significant reduction in downtime, by 70 %
- Predictable maintenance and proactive troubleshooting
- Full integration of the conveyor technology with ERP systems
- Challenge: A mid-sized metal-processing company struggles with high energy costs and untapped optimization potential. The system runs reliably, but energy-efficiency data is insufficient and manual analysis too time-consuming.
- Solution: Integration of modern control systems with energy-monitoring sensors, and AI-based analytics tools that evaluate production and energy-consumption data in real time — detecting inefficiencies automatically and proposing optimizations.
- Result:
- Up to 15 % reduction in energy consumption through AI-driven process adjustments
- Automatic identification of energy waste without manual analysis
- Optimized production planning that factors in energy efficiency
- Full transparency into energy flows and savings potential
- Challenge: A beverage-filling system suffers from long cycle times, a high reject rate, and a lack of data transparency.
- Solution: A retrofit concept with a new PLC/HMI, energy-efficient drives, and intelligent process control — complemented with machine vision for inline quality inspection.
- Result:
- 20 % production increase at the same machine capacity
- Reduced rejects through inline quality control
- Real-time data monitoring for production metrics
Measurable, Lasting, Convincing.
