Modern machine visualization in practice: Brink & Lenze

Today's interactions such as wiping, zooming and swiping have long since arrived in the industrial environment. The present design philosophy focuses on user-friendliness and technically driven developments are increasingly becoming a thing of the past.

Machine builders want to offer their customers a modern machine visualization that enables an optimal "user experience" and thus ensures smooth machine operation and safe operation.

How can machine builders implement this in concrete terms? When are web-based visualization solutions the tool of choice? And what does it actually look like, the "perfect" user interface?

This is exactly what we talk about in this webcast with the machine manufacturer Brink and the web visualization experts from Lenze. The Dutch-based manufacturer of automation systems for the injection moulding industry has completely rethought its operating concept and implemented it with Lenze.

Decentralized frequency inverters - the perfect supplement

Who does not know, rough environmental conditions like dust and wetness, but nevertheless the machine must function reliably and perfectly.

Under such conditions, decentralized installed drive technology can be a decisive advantage. This webcast will show how increasing customer requirements can be realized quickly and efficiently with a customized machine, and explain the trend towards a growing, decentralized installed base.

On October 28, our experts explained to you what effects this will have on existing and new machine generations to be planned, and what recommendations for action can be derived from them.

From the simulation to the production of machines and systems

Implementing customer-specific machines with ever-increasing software complexity in less time and avoiding cost-intensive rework during commissioning – how can this be achieved?

In this webcast, Lenze shows how virtual commissioning enables interdisciplinary development and, above all, how control and IOT software can be tested and validated on a virtual machine in early concept and development phases. In future, this will provide OEMs with extended possibilities of digital engineering in the design, development and production of machines and systems – and can thus reduce costs and time-to-market.

This session will focus on which options and tools are available for this, what concrete support Lenze offers here and how small and medium-sized companies can also integrate them advantageously into existing processes.

Real-time monitoring of machines today and in the future

Collecting and interpreting the available data is already a sound way of monitoring the condition of machines. This requires a deeper understanding of the machines and processes so as to generate meaningful information from the "bare" data. Analyses based on Machine Learning (ML) and AI can help identify anomalies faster.

In our webcast, we also explain the model and data-based approach to analyzing the condition of machines, or the question of where the data can be evaluated – in the controller or cloud.

We also present how the drive can become a sensor and how you can easily implement condition monitoring and obtain comprehensive information on the "state of health" of your machines and systems without additional, cost-increasing sensor technology.

Or, why not take the opportunity now to optimize your machines and plants sustainably?

Efficient end-to-end processes – from the initial idea to the commissioning and operation of the machine

In the age of Industry 4.0, machine builders and producers are facing great challenges: digitization efforts of companies often do not ignite properly and often do not get beyond a pilot phase. At the same time, many companies are experiencing a shortage of skilled workers in key disciplines, which is why there is often a lack of software developers in the engineering departments of machine manufacturers.

Digital transformation depends on the closer linkage of available data – not only during ongoing production, but already during the development of machines and systems.

This live webcast focuses on the options and tools available for this and how they can be integrated advantageously into existing processes.

Or, why not take the opportunity now to optimize your machines and plants sustainably?

Another challenge for mechanical engineering

Energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important topic in mechanical engineering and is currently gaining additional relevance due to global developments and concrete legal requirements. In our live webcast we will illuminate and discuss this topics:​

How do global climate agreements influence legislation and how do they actually affect everyday life?​

Which framework conditions apply where and what do they mean, for example, in an international context? ​

How can you efficiently meet the new challenges of the ErP Directive by the July 2021 deadline and, above all, what can you do to remain competitive? ​

Or, why not take the opportunity now to optimize your machines and plants sustainably?

Heading towards Industry 4.0

The Asset Administration Shell (AAS): theoretical concept or genuine support in industrial automation? ​

Our experts say: Industry 4.0 is only made possible with AAS and discuss this in detail in our live webcast.​

The AAS collects the relevant data for each asset, e.g. descriptions of the mechanical-electrical properties, documentation and certificates, software, behavioral description. This information pool serves as a basis for applications within the framework of Industry 4.0 and must follow standards to enable cross-manufacturer cooperation and communication.​

So there is no Industry 4.0 without AAS! The webcast also discusses a concrete example of the consistent use of data, which is made possible by using Lenze EASY System Designer, for example. ​

The Smart Factory is getting closer.

Industry 4.0, digitalization, IIoT have been on everyone's lips for years - the only thing missing so far is the implementation of concrete and integrated solutions that really enable more flexible and productive manufacturing. But the pressure is increasing: More individualization, smaller batch sizes, more frequent configuration changes, the production line should be as cost efficient as possible.

A great challenge, no question!

This talk will focus on the solution: Plug & Produce.
