Waterjet cutting systems
Smart dual solution
STM will be presenting machine-to-machine (M2M)-capable waterjet cutting systems in combination with active application consulting at Metav 2018 to make it easier for manufacturers to move into intelligent, fully automated production.
STM systems have been M2M-capable for years and enable data exchange via all currently possible interfaces. On the one hand, this is ensured by the SmartCut software, which enables data exchange with work preparation, CRM and process control systems. On the other hand, the systems can be connected to standardized interfaces such as ProfiNet, ProfiBus, UDP protocol or OPC server in order to network them with other cutting machines, pick-and-place machines or robots.
Now that M2M has been standard at STM for years, the company is concentrating on providing its customers with personal advice to remove the obstacles on the way to the "Industrial Internet of Things". STM's application engineers are prepared to explore all possibilities in terms of data exchange and intelligent data processing on an interdisciplinary basis. To this end, the decisive parameters are collected on the basis of efficiency studies, feasibility and cost/benefit analyses, made available to all departments involved and transferred to the system configuration. In future, factors such as wear, energy and time consumption can be automatically anticipated and optimized. cs
