Vecoplan to offer customers added value and at the same time collect important machine data, eg for future designs. Vecoplan found an answer to the question that many machine builders ask themselves: How do I convince my customers to keep the machines online?<\/p>\r\n<p><a title=\"Vecoplan\" href=\"https:\/\/vecoplan.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vecoplan<\/a>, based in Bad Marienberg in Germany, is a supplier of machinery and equipment for the preparation and handling of primary and secondary raw materials. With over 500 employees and 18 active patents, the company is a pioneer in its segment. Its customers include recycling companies, combined heat and power plants, companies in the primary and secondary wood industry and many more.<\/p>\r\n<p>In 2014, Vecoplan opened its own Technology Centre, one of the world&#039;s largest and most modern development centers in the field of circular economy. At the VTC (Vecoplan Technology Center), 220 tests are run per year. With 10 shredding machines installed, it&#039;s considered the center for shredding technology and tests for customer applications. Digital applications are also tested at this location before they are used by customers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ixon.cloud\/media\/hlrflx0s\/webp-net-resizeimage.jpg?width=1398&amp;mode=max\" alt=\"The Vecoplan Technology Center, opened in 2014\" width=\"841\" height=\"402\" data-src=\"\/media\/hlrflx0s\/webp-net-resizeimage.jpg?width=1398&amp;mode=max\" \/>\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n<em>The Vecoplan Technology Center, opened in 2014<\/em>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Back in 2008, Vecoplan offered its customers\u00a0<strong>remote access to their machines<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 driven by the new Technology Centre. However, plans quickly expanded and Vecoplan worked on its vision for machine connectivity. \u201cWe knew we could get a lot more out of connectivity,\u201d says Daniel Kessler, Head Of Electrical Department at Vecoplan. So in 2018, the vision was born not only to connect machines in the future, but also to collect, evaluate and visualize machine data in real time.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>Vecoplan Smart Center as central portal<\/h2>\r\n<p>The vision quickly turned into concrete development projects and test runs, until finally, in January 2021, all machines were equipped with the IXON solution.

But in the end, the rapid implementation was decisive.

Nowadays, Vecoplan equips its machines with the IXrouter as standard. As a result, Vecoplan can now offer more efficient service. \u201cCurrently, we mainly use the VPN and notification functions. However, we would like to enrich our portfolio with further added values and smart services,\u201d reports Kessler. \u201cIn addition, we are establishing a connection to a camera\u00a0<strong>via an HTTP tunnel<\/strong>\u00a0so that we can look into the machines live via the IXON Cloud.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ixon.cloud\/media\/f1lnyzrh\/vecoplan-camera-app.jpeg?width=1398&amp;mode=max\" alt=\"Live transmission from the machine via an HTTP tunnel\" width=\"841\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"\/media\/f1lnyzrh\/vecoplan-camera-app.jpeg?width=1398&amp;mode=max\" \/>\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\n<em>Live transmission from the machine via an HTTP tunnel<\/em>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The company from Rheinland-Pfalz offers the latter to its customers as an option. \u201cThe camera is in use when the customer books the option,\u201d Kessler explains. The special thing? This service is\u00a0<strong>free of charge<\/strong>\u00a0for customers. \u201cWe offer this service so that the customer has a greater interest in bringing the machine online. In the past, we often had the problem that the customer only wanted to connect the machines in case of an acute problem.

The camera feature helps to check the machine level and\u00a0<strong>optimize the machine<\/strong>\u00a0for the material thrown in,\u201d says Daniel Kessler.<\/p>\r\n<p>But what motivates Vecoplan to offer this service free of charge? \u201cBecause the machines are always online, we get feedback on the performance of our machines in the field through the live machine data.
