Intelligent connectivity for an efficient, employee-centered smart factory.
Digital Transformation.
Generated data is often not used to its maximum potential. The saying “data is the new gold” has not only become deeply rooted in people's minds, but is proving to be true time and time again. The cyber-physical production system (CPPS) continuously analyzes data. This enables systems to communicate with each other and coordinate their processes. This not only makes the work of machine operators easier, but also promotes stability, reduces risks and creates transparency and predictability throughout production.
Digitalization.
Old systems that have been in operation for years or decades often prove to be more robust and reliable than new ones. In addition, the purchase of new systems is associated with high costs. Retrofitting can bring existing systems up to the Industry 4.0 standard and integrate them into an intelligent machine network. This modernization makes it possible to equip older systems with the latest technologies without the need for a completely new system.
Our focus is always on people. We ensure that everyone in the company has easy access to the data that is relevant to them. This means that a machine operator can see all the important data for the process at a glance. Certain key performance indicators (KPIs) can be presented to the management in regular, automated reports. This enables the provision of targeted information that both increases efficiency in the workplace and supports decision-making at management level.
Conventional digital twins require large amounts of data. However, it is often not possible to generate these due to changing materials or geometries. For this reason, we rely on a “white box” approach. This uses data from sensors and calculates the models with the support of forming simulations. By using machine learning algorithms, almost real-time simulations can be carried out. Furthermore, this approach offers the possibility to understand the decision-making process and can be trained with the help of employees' knowledge.
Simulation.
When introducing new products and processes, the question often arises as to whether and how these can be implemented with existing systems. By using finite element analysis (FEA), we have the ability to simulate these processes and products in advance. This greatly facilitates our customers' decision-making process by allowing them to understand potential outcomes and requirements for the adaptation of equipment prior to actual implementation.
Existing processes often offer potential for optimization. Can material be saved? How much lubricant is actually needed? Can the final product be improved? Does the process work with maximum efficiency? With the help of finite element analysis (FEA) and our expertise in metallurgy and forming technology, we can answer these questions and make suggestions for optimization. Our expertise enables us to precisely analyze processes and material usage and thus not only increase product quality, but also reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Traceability is often difficult, especially with multi-stage processes. In order to better understand both the process and the material behavior, we rely on simulation techniques. These offer the opportunity to “look inside” the process, so to speak. Many real processes take place under conditions such as elevated temperatures, high speeds and hidden behind tools, which makes them difficult to observe and analyze directly. Finite element analysis (FEA) enables us to develop an in-depth understanding of these processes and thus create acceptance for the measures implemented and recommended changes.
