The path to a smarter wire production

摘要

Together with View Systems GmbH, German manufacturer of wire-drawing machines Koch develops solutions for setting up intelligent production. This offers customers numerous advantages in the production process and increases the availability of wire drawing machines. Big Data, Digital Twins, Cyber Physical Systems, and the Internet of Things: In the field of production, these terms stand for one vision - products control themselves through their own manufacture and automatically correct possible process errors. But how does an existing wire production become a digital production? Koch provides the answer in cooperation with the software specialist View Systems. While Koch manufactures integrable wire drawing machines, View Systems develops platforms for integrating the production level and setting up intelligent production. A solution that enables customers in the wire industry to make their business processes smarter and more efficient. "For several years now, we have been working on merging existing data from machines, measuring systems and other software products such as ERP, CAQ and CAD on a single level," explains Bernhard Rohe, Managing Director of View Systems. "This creates a platform for intelligent production. Based on this, we implement Industry 4.0 in existing manufacturing environments."
