Thanks to remote access and data, machine builders can improve on-site maintenance and promote the optimization of the new generation of machines. Let's look at the example of VAI Packaging, an Italian manufacturer of packaging machines.<\/h5>\r\n

The Italian packaging industry focuses mainly on exports, with a share increasing according to the UCIMA (Italian Association of Manufacturers of Automatic Packaging Machines)\u00a0up to 80%<\/strong>. This proves the high technological value of the machines produced by the Italian manufacturers. At the same time, this poses numerous challenges regarding the quality of support and service provided.<\/p>\r\n

In this context, the situation of VAI Packaging is relevant. They design and produce automatic and semi-automatic packaging machines for various sectors, from food to non-food. Their customers are mainly located in the United States, Europe and Israel.<\/p>\r\n

Challenge<\/h2>\r\n

The implementation of a\u00a0industrial IoT solution<\/a>\u00a0arises from various needs to provide customers with a solution for accurately managing production recipes. It is necessary to implement the interconnection of machines, adapted to the\u00a0customers' production settings<\/strong>. This can be done with various tools, from simple PCs to more complex infrastructures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Until four years ago, remote service was optional. Nowadays all our customers want to connect their machines. Federico Martal\u00f2 Project Manager at VAI Packaging<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nowadays all our customers want to connect their machines.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nFederico Martal\u00f2<\/em>\r\nProject Manager at VAI Packaging<\/em>\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\nThe main challenge for VAI's customers is the processing of large production quantities or small quantities of a large number of references. Usability and accuracy when\u00a0machine recipe management<\/strong>\u00a0therefore play a primary role.\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Solution<\/h2>\r\n

IXON Cloud's industrial IoT solution makes the connection between the PLC on the machine and the platform on the cloud. Here the manufacturer can\u00a0view operational data of the machine park<\/strong>. He can then also choose which data he wants\u00a0want to share with the customer<\/strong>\u00a0via the service portal.<\/p>\r\n

The technical functionalities of IXON Cloud made this type of implementation possible. It enabled VAI Packaging to realize the necessary interconnection to deliver structured\u00a0remote support<\/a>\u00a0to provide. And to use the remote control panel for direct intervention on the required drives.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\"V510SV510S HS packaging machine.<\/em>\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n
