With the latest innovations in terms of automation, the B & R stand in Ipack-IMA will be a concentration of innovation aimed at the packaging world, with a view to digitalization, with technologies designed for the manufacturing industry, as for machine manufacturers.
From the first concept to the mathematical model, to simulation, to virtual prototyping, to the machine that produces a continuous cycle, interconnected with the surrounding factory and with plants distributed throughout the world, each step is supported and facilitated by an integrated and open automation architecture.
In the orange space - Hall 5, Stand B28, will be presented, with working machines, how to take full advantage of a modern automation, declining its beneficial effects on every aspect of design and production: efficiency, performance, operation, safety, consumption, maintenance, time to market, return on investment.
ACOPOStrak, the intelligent transport technology for adaptive production
To make the mass-produced individualization of products sustainable in an economic way, the process of digitization in the factory is necessary and this must include, in addition to the machines, the supply chain, typically a bottleneck in production.
Hence the need for intelligent transport systems with which you can create adaptive lines and plants for a flexible and economical production, even when talking about small lots, up to the extreme of the personalized single product.
Towards digitization, each with its own pace
The growing variety of products, manufactured in smaller batches, makes it difficult to remain competitive on the global market. What will produce in an economically sustainable way are: digitalization, virtualization and connectivity, focus on B & R in the development of new technologies.
Digital Twin: from the concept to the machine working and optimized thanks to the virtual prototype
More and more complex functions in machine automation and a growing request for customization must now be compared with the need to contract the time of realization and testing of each machine, whatever the configuration.
