Maintenance: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Company-wide availability of engineering data

The standardized interface to ERP and PLM systems for the object-oriented cooperation platform Engineering Base from Aucotec shortens the time for integrations as well as data exchange.

Kisssoft

Release with new calculation methods

Kisssoft's 2020 release contains numerous new features, including additional methods for evaluating the reliability of transmission concepts.

Sustainable CWS workwear

Wood fibers against heat

A new multi-norm or multifunctional garment uses flame-retardant high-performance fibers, which are mainly obtained from beech wood from sustainable forestry.

Modular production

Machine and plant manufacturers who pursue a modular approach are often particularly successful. Harting's mechanical engineering customers want to design the modularization of their products as efficiently as possible, with interfaces playing a central role in these concepts.

Robots support logistics processes

Container unloading needs to be regulated

A sea container contains between 20 and 30 tons of cargo. Unloading them is a logistical, time-consuming and physical feat. This is where intelligent robot systems from Copal can provide support, with SEW supplying the appropriate drive and automation technology.

Where hoists and crane systems are maintained and repaired

The pneumatic and hydraulic hoists and crane systems from J.D. Neuhaus are built for extreme operating conditions. But what happens when the sometimes gigantic hoists need to be serviced or repaired? Workstation systems from Krieg have therefore been installed in the new service center.

Digitization

Supporting day-to-day production at a distance

KHS provides customers with digital solutions such as the ReDiS remote maintenance system, basic line monitoring for efficient production processes and augmented reality services.

Automated picking line

Relieved by five tons

The Japanese pharmaceutical company Takeda has started to use robots in packaging. A collaborative CR-15iA from Fanuc now relieves employees of five tons per shift in 24/7 operation.

Camera for gas detection

New lenses recognize even more gases

Flir's new GF77 Gas Find IR series offers experts the flexibility to use an uncooled gas detection camera for gas detection and thermal imaging inspections in the chemical and industrial manufacturing, power supply, natural gas supply chain, food and agriculture, and public safety industries.
