Production systems + automation logistics,Oerlikon's combo offer

摘要

Oerlikon is integrating the AC-Automation GmbH & Co KG,which is headquartered in Bernkastel-Kues-automation solutions for large-scale systems into its technology portfolio.The company is thus taking an important step on its journey towards now being able to offer fully-automated factories digitally networked using Industrie 4.0 solutions from a single source.For many,mechanical looms are the embodiment of the first industrial revolution.Today-following the introduction of production line manufacturing and the advent of electronics within the production chain-the textile and fibre industry is on the verge of entering the so-called fourth industrial revolution-or Industrie 4.0 for short.With the acquisition of AC-Automation in Bemkastel-Kues and Augsburg,Oerlikon Manmade Fibers-the leading solutions provider within the manmade fibre manufacturing sector-has now set a further milestone on its journey towards fully-automatic,digitally-networked fibre production.In the future,Oerlikon textile industry customers will receive production systems together with the automation logistics-including packaging and high-bay warehouse solutions-from a single source.
