The economic success of machine builders is increasingly determined by their ability to differentiate themselves through additional digital offerings and new business models. But how can SMEs in particular benefit from the digital transformation at machine and plant level despite high costs, pressure to innovate and three major ‘construction sites’ – demographics, digitalisation and decarbonisation? The answer, explains Lenze product manager Annekatrin Konermann lies in sustainable connection of IT and OT as well as in tools that make IT easily manageable for the mechanical engineering industry. The machinery safety landscape is ever evolving, bringing with it a raft of changes to current legislation to cope with issues such as increasing digitisation and flexibility requirements. Pilz safety specialist Jason Reed will summarise the changes – covering the migration of the Machinery Directive to the Machinery Regulation plus standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 62061 and ISO 14119 – and will explain what these mean in practical terms to machine builders and end-users alike. RBTX is a new platform to configure and cost a full automation system or robot using parts from many industrial companies. Guaranteed compatibility and fixed cost, all production and factory engineers should know about this latest technology. Igus managing director Matthew Igus will highlight the main different types of robots, explore how to configure a robot using RBTX.com, and provide a glimpse into the future – starting with the application, not the product.
Machine builders are shifting their focus from machine sales to service sales. This requires them to think beyond the traditional product offering and get into the customer’s shoes. Ixon UK and Ireland country manager Daniel Phillips-Fern explores how IIoT enables machine builders to provide best-in-class service and upsell additional service models to boost customer satisfaction and create highly profitable, recurring revenue streams, long after the warranty period is over.
With manufacturers producing an ever-increasing number of SKUs, the demand for faster, more efficient changeover processes has never been greater. Omron marketing manager Stuart Coulton explains what machine builders can do to optimise their machines to ensure a smooth transition between products in their complex manufacturing processes.
