Bosch Packaging Technology will showcase Industry 4.0 solutions at interpack during live demonstrations on the booth. The central element for the connectivity of Bosch’s Industry 4.0 solutions is the HMI 4.0. This forms the basis of machine operation with comprehensive data collection, transfer and visualisation.
All relevant production parameters and data along with production targets and tasks can be presented on the Shopfloor Dashboard in real-time. The Maintenance Support System (MSS) enables automatic sending of service orders once a problem is detected. To support planning of maintenance activities, manufacturers can use the Condition Monitoring Service.
Data can be bundled and visualised transparently using the Shopfloor Management Cycle (SMC). Overall energy consumption of the facility can be viewed using the Energy Monitoring platform.
“Thanks to the optimum connectivity of machines and IT, we not only achieve higher transparency throughout the entire value chain, we also use digitisation to support companies and staff in optimising processes and workflows in a novel way,” said Dr Stefan König, president of Bosch.
