This lecture is about the use of internal and production data of packaging machines, the machine data. Using a practical example, Duranmatic, supplier of modular data gateways, and Ranpak, producer of packaging machines, show how useful collecting, analyzing and visualizing machine data can be.
For the machine builder who wants to monitor and analyze his machines worldwide for further optimization. And the end-user who gains insight into the current productivity, the OEE, of his machine.
All this is achieved with the help of EWON data gateways that independently collect machine (PLC) data and transfer it via the Cloud to a secure server where visualization/analysis software makes the information available to users via dashboards, apps and reports.
Ranpak is an American company that exists for more than 50 years and has produced more than 100,000 packaging machines. Duranmatic has been supplying systems and components for industrial automation since 1985.
