Automatically improved performance through modernization

Production processes have proven themselves, competitive advantages have been secured, and yet sooner or later the time will come: The machine has a certain age forcing to think about adequate measures: replacing or retrofitting?

Before a threatening machine downtime will bring everyday production to a standstill, a decision should be made and ideally should already has been implemented. Supplying spare parts for older machines, in particular, regarding electronics is hardly possible or even not possible at all because these parts are no longer available on the market. Various upgrading or retrofitting levels enable an automation process, corresponding to the current state of the art and increasing the efficiency of the plant substantially.

These modernization measures for mbk machines of an older generation increase and secure the operational reliability, thus reducing the operating costs considerably. Hence, it is possible to extend the field of application and to increase the production output.

New technologies such as touch screen, modern computers, and control systems as well as optimized programs relieve the users substantially. Solutions for automation are not reserved for large-scale production only; automation technology is also possible and interesting when it comes to the production of small-scale series or even a single piece by using highly flexible systems.
