Plastic industry looks to “smart factory”

Companies looking to the digital transformation of their production from a very early stage - prepare and secure your competitiveness. What is needed to implement this? Online production organisation and management combined with flexible automation, process control, integration of order and process data are all components for networked production.

Sequences can be implemented, enabling fast and secure data exchange between machines, tools, products and peripheral equipment, and process and ordering management systems, based on cloud solutions.

Plastic, like many other industries, is more than ready to use all the benefits of the “smart factory”.

Traceability is important, from the finished part back to the granulate. Meet the increasing documentation requirements such as those in automotive or medical manufacturing.
