Automation and Life Cycle Management for Converting Machines
13.02.2017
The Baumüller Group will be exhibiting solutions from the complete outfitting of a production system to support throughout the entire life cycle at ICE 2017 For the first time the Nuremberg-based automation and drive manufacturer Baumüller will be taking part in ICE Europe, the leading international trade fair for converting. The converting industry will be meeting in Munich from 21-23 March 2017 to learn more about the latest trends and innovations. In hall A6 at booth 221, the entire Baumüller Group will be presenting with Baumüller Nürnberg GmbH, Baumüller Anlagen-Systemtechnik GmbH & Co. KG, Baumüller Reparaturwerk GmbH & Co. KG as well as NÜRMONT Installations GmbH & Co. KG.

The Baumüller Group has many years of experience in the project planning and equipping of production facilities as well as in life cycle management for machines and systems for refining and processing flexible web-shape materials, such as paper, film, sheets and non-wovens.
Life Cycle Management 4.0
Using the example of a foil bag machine, which is automated by Baumüller engineering specialists and is equipped with a complete Baumüller system from the control unit to the drive, the automation and drive manufacturer shows how machine modules can be optimally automated for
the application and easily projected into complete machines and systems.
In addition to a rapid time to market, the machine manufacturer benefits from the realization of control software that is independent of the hardware. This affords the machine manufacturer a high level of scalability. It ensures the optimal adjustment of the overall system to the respective customer’s needs.
To maximize the availability of the machines and systems, Baumüller offers a suitable remote maintenance solution for all types of electric drive systems. Service incidents and downtimes can be greatly reduced by means of condition monitoring and preventive maintenance with external sensors or solutions that are integrated into the devices. Baumüller will present the new predictive maintenance system BAUDIS IoT for this sector.
BAUDIS IoT is an IoT-capable communication and diagnostic system, which allows for an intelligent networking of objects via the Internet and the analysis of data. The system can be used independently of the manufacturer of the automation components and the sensors and therefore can easily be retrofitted. The concept of BAUDIS IoT is quite simple: The motor state is detected by sensors. The sensor signals are processed by the BAUDIS IoT box and sent to the evaluation PC. This evaluates the data and informs or warns the user if necessary and provides recommendations for action.
