Upgrades to Industry 4.0

P.E. Labellers has restyled the structure of its labeling machines taking into account the Industry 4.0 paradigmas.

The actual technological revolution involves the possibility of using futuristic tools for the maintenance and management of machine productivity, which are connected to devices such as tablets and smartphones, equipped with dedicated Apps (currently available for iOS software and, from 2018, they will be developed also for Android systems).

Controls and solutions in real time
The augmented reality system installed on the Modular Top uses an iPad with a dedicated app that allows the operator to frame the machine, monitor its operating status, and display any alarms, signals or maintenance to be carried out.
With this device, the interior of the electrical cabinet can also be viewed to check its status without having to stop the machine and actually open the cabinet.  
The Sleever, instead, will be equipped with a Pocket Sercos system for online troubleshooting. The system uses both an iPhone and iPad with a dedicated App and Wi-Fi or 3G connection.
In case of problems, the machine sends an alarm signal on the application and the operator can send it directly to the P.E. Service in real time. In this way, the problem can be identified directly and a solution is provided quickly and directly with a temporary password, in order to set the parameters with guided support.
This system has another added value, namely, machine data reading, performed in the language of the current geographical position of the machine.
