Energy Monitoring as a Service Component in Production Automation
Today we have concrete answers from an internationally active machine and plant manufacturer belonging to the HEITEC Group, HEITEC PTS GmbH – represented today by Thomas Baumann (Head of Service). With IoT partner SMC Germany – a leading manufacturer of pneumatic and electric automation technology and a true expert in IoT. In various industries such as the automotive, electrical, medical, packaging and food industries as well as machine tool manufacturing, SMC uses its product range of more than 12,000 basic models with over 700,000 variants for individual customer solutions. SMC understands exactly how its customers use components and equipment today and can use this knowledge to generate real added value for its customers. How exactly? That’s what Oliver Prang (Digital Business Development at SMC) tells us in this podcast episode with user HEITEC PTS. SMC Germany has installed its monitoring solution in a machine from HEITEC PTS. Specifically, this episode is about monitoring the compressed air consumption of existing machines at a German manufacturer of alloy wheels. Since 2010, HEITEC PTS, as a regional and owner-managed company, has been the largest machine builder within the internationally operating HEITEC Group. The company’s expertise is in standard automation, software development and industrial X-ray technology, as well as robot handling and plant engineering. This podcast episode impressively shows how digitalization is changing service departments at machine builders.
Saving energy and CO2 with smart pneumatic components – About wear of rubber seals and consumption measurements
Bringing together the expertise and strengths of different companies to create excellent solutions for customers: This is exactly what Software AG, Dell Technologies and SMC have succeeded in doing. In this podcast episode, Madeleine Mickeleit talks to Baktash Modabber (Software AG), Oliver Prang (SMC) and Sayed Maudodi (Dell) about their successful collaboration using two real-world use cases. First, Baktash, Oliver, and Sayed describe an IoT use case from the food industry. The companies will show how they can assess the condition of pneumatic cylinders in bottling plants using data from displacement and flow sensors and thus detect defects in good time. They explain how this technology makes it possible to counteract costly production downtimes in good time. The second use case presented in the podcast deals with sustainability. Sayed, Oliver and Baktash explain how they use compressed air monitoring to determine the energy consumption of machines and thus identify potential energy savings. Finally, we take a look at the future prospects for the collaboration between the three companies and discuss how the business model can be further developed in perspective. An exciting podcast episode with interesting insights!
