Lenze demonstrates smart factory technology to Chancellor Merkel
Lenze had the opportunity to demonstrate its Industry 4.0/smart factory technology to Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydo at Hannover Messe.
The focus of attention was Lenze's new Easy Machine 4.0. This automation system incorporates Lenze FAST self-optimising application software, enabling an 80 per cent reduction in the time taken for machine automation and programming of motion functions, as well as continual self-optimisation during operation for efficiency. Merkel and Szydlo also saw the Internet of Things capabilities of the Easy Machine 4.0 for maintenance and software updates, saving Lenze customers up to 80 per cent on their warranty costs.
In addition, Lenze's Chief Executive Officer, Christian Wendler, spoke to Merkel and Szydlo of the important role people in industrial production and the employees of Lenze have in setting Industry 4.0 in motion.
