Lenze brings digitalisation solutions to Labelexpo

The printing industry is facing major challenges: high demands on the sustainability of materials, flexibility of machines and enormous cost pressure. Digitalisation provides the remedy. Lenze will therefore, alongside hardware and software, be presenting its digital services and platform offerings at Labelexpo.

“Digitalisation of the machine continues to increase – flexible software solutions, close to the automation, are necessary,” explains Marian Köller, global segment manager for converting and printing at Lenze.

Open automation platform Nupano is one example: it forms the bridge between the OT and IT and enables machine builders to bring apps into their machines. Köller says: “Nupano is key technology that makes it easy to leverage the potential of digitalisation at machine and plant level. Customers can use it to offer digital products increase the efficiency and sustainability of their presses and generate recurring revenue.”

Competitive advantages

Lenze has concrete digital offers, such as condition monitoring without the need for additional sensors. The data comes directly from the drive. Lenze also uses AI for machine optimisation and offers an Asset Performance Platform that creates transparency about the installed assets to ensure improved machine availability. If a fault occurs, the machine automatically creates a ticket to inform the service technicians at an early stage. “In this way, downtime can be avoided, throughput times optimised and the OEE of the machines increased,” says Köller, summing up the benefits.
