Smart Factory

The Digital Factory is Calling Big Data Handling and Global Connectivity The goal of an intelligent factory is to produce a lot size of 1 in the same quality as larger quantities – and at a competitive price. This requires a lot of know-how in machine automation. The term "Smart Factory" stands for modern production facilities that can profitably manufacture individualized products even in small quantities, especially in high-wage regions – and with track­ble a processes that ensure perfect quality. As a machine manufacturer, you contribute to the implementation of intelligent factories with...

collected for higher-level systems and delivered on time as well as safely. Further processing of data collected by your machine or system mainly happens on a higher level, where the process data is evaluated and interpreted. Because for product optimization, business as well as application and machine data are required. Ultimately, the artistry lies in creating the right correlation, defining process figures and introducing measures for optimization. This area is the job of the specialists in your client's companies. ^)PC UA, Security/SSL AMQP, MQTT COMMUNICATION LAYER lalysis: Predictive Maintenance MES...

FLEXIBLY AUTOMATE MACHINES MODULAR, OPEN AND FUTURE PROOF A flexible control architecture, open interfaces and communication standards that make big data handling easy and safe are success factors for machines and systems in the networked, digital factory. One thing is clear: Even as a manu­ acturer f of complete automation solutions, we cannot provide ready-made automation solutions 4.0 – with machines used for flexible and networked production, there are numerous variables which must be individually adapted. We support you with an extremely compact, modular and scalable control architecture,...

High availability: PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are essential factors in the Smart Factory. Intelligent sensors combined with modern control systems make it possible to collect or monitor condition data from components, machines and systems in real time (condition monitoring). Examples of this are vibration, temperature or power. Predictive maintenance uses this data to predict the development of the machine condition and plan service intervals. For this purpose, the data are evaluated in a higer-level system (MES, ERP, Cloud) and compared with stored...

CLOUD SERVICES Since the complexity and volume of the data in an intelligent factory are enormous, local data servers and cloud services represent a future-oriented solution. There are options for the long-term archiving and aggregation of data, as well as extensive analysis for optimizing production. The connection to private networks or cloud services, such as those offered by Cisco, Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services for example, can be made via OPC UA or other standardized message-based communication protocols such as AMQP (Advanced Message Queueing Protocol) or MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry...

Simply implement the complex: ENGINEERING WITH LASAL The demands that networked, digital production places on machines and systems is closely linked with increasing complexity. In the future, the software will therefore gain importance. To implement complex applications so simple that anyone can operate them, provides a decisive added value according to the easy2use approach. In smart automation solutions, the modu­ la­ ity of the hardware must be reflected in r the software. The object-oriented all-inone engineering tool LASAL supports you with flexibly designed concepts – in all project phases....
