ENGEL will present its inject 4.0 programme at K2016. The aim of Industry 4.0 is a smart factory. With the help of the networking and integration of production systems, the systematic exploitation of machines, process and production data and the use of decentralised, intelligent assistance systems, the manufacturing processes in a smart factory continuously optimise themselves, making it possible to react very flexibly to the ever more quickly changing requirements. The result is greater efficiency, productivity, machine availability and quality.
Engel is making it possible to actually experience the smart factory at K2016. For all three areas of the smart factory – smart machine, smart production and smart service – Engel has solutions to support processors to enable their processes to tackle the new challenges.
Engel will demonstrate how the potential of smart machines can be optimally exploited in practice with the manufacture of inject 4.0 logos on an all-electric, tie-bar-less Engel e-motion 80 TL injection moulding machine. Fluctuating process conditions will be simulated in the CC300 controller in order to monitor the automatic readjustment of the intelligent assistance systems on the injection moulding machine display.
