The Smart Log Analyzer reads the report and fault memory of the machine, then loads the relevant data to the Smart Hub, where it is subsequently analysed. The data capture ranges from higher-level information, such as the machine's productive time, right up to individual events that cause downtime. The Smart Log Analyzer is aimed not only at users of the machine, but also service technicians. In the event of a fault, the important data is available immediately to the service technician for troubleshooting, allowing machine downtime to be reduced to a minimum.
A high-end control tool for use by both the shift supervisor and the company management. The Smart Machine Report contains all the analysis reports for your machine, which are generated automatically and at regular intervals for downloading, and which can also be distributed to other people. These clear and informative reports allow comparisons to be made between machines and shifts, as well as providing information about recipes and recipe changes, and they also enable the performance of the entire packaging process to be evaluated. The data is stored centrally and can be called up quickly and conveniently at any time from a PC or smartphone.
You are always on the safe side with MULTIVAC Smart Data Backup!
Thanks to this really smart tool, the settings on a MULTIVAC packaging machine are always backed up automatically in a protected online domain. Smart Data Backup runs smoothly in the background without adversely affecting your packaging process. It can be accessed very flexibly from anywhere via a browser. All the settings can be downloaded in this MULTIVAC Smart Service at any time and easily restored as required.
MULTIVAC Pack Pilot is operated directly via the HMI 3 of the packaging machine. When creating new machine configurations or recipes, the user simply selects the corresponding features of the pack, packaging material and product. In conjunction with the data for the particular machine and die, a pack can be created to virtually the optimum operating point, and the corresponding recipe can then be loaded directly when required. The system generates the required parameters on the basis of a rule engine, which ensures continuous optimisation of the system.
Thanks to MULTIVAC Pack Pilot, the packaging machine is already set to the optimum degree when production is started, allowing high-quality packs to be produced immediately, without any appreciable start-up loss of material. This leads to significant savings as regards product, packaging materials and production time. Pack Pilot also makes it easier and more reliable than ever before to change a machine over to another packaging material.
The Belgian food company, Ter Beke, counts on digitalization – and on MULTIVAC – in its factory in Veurne. Thanks to MULTIVAC’s digital services, it has been possible to optimize the complex packaging processes for the different sausage varieties to a very significant degree – and within just the initial phase of…
