Lenze opens door to digitalisation at ITMA

Lenze is using ITMA as a platform to showcase how textile machine providers can exploit the opportunities of digitalisation and be ready for future challenges with today’s solutions.

From energy saving optimisation, to scalable portfolios with standardised interfaces, Lenze’s comprehensive and flexible automation solutions will be on display, alongside Lenze’s latest NUPANO cloud-based machine and app-management platform.

Flexible automation whatever the need

• Energy savings due to optimised dimensioning and DC coupling
• Continuous feedback on product information on a machine’s performance, losses and energy consumption
• Modern visualisation with database link for purposes of quality control and documentation
• Flexible and modular machine design supported by a highly scalable portfolio that includes standardised interfaces and software frameworks
• Easy engineering solutions due to verified application templates (FAST) for web and yarn handling
• Greater productivity due to fully automatic and fast adaptation when material is changed (Servo Inverters)

Maximising digitalisation potential

Thanks to the open automation platform NUPANO, any in-house or publicly available applications can be easily embedded into the machine and mastered through NUPANO’s integrated app management software, enabling the equipment to be securely and remotely updated and maintained in the field.

Lenze’s NUPANO opens new business opportunities. Lenze’s NUPANO:

• Eases IT and OT collaboration – At the machine development phase, NUPANO harmonises information technology (IT) and operations technology (OT), offering intelligent sharing functions for testing and validation
• Enables app tailoring for competitive advantage – Through open IT standards, such as Linux (with native Docker as container technology), NUPANO allows for the integration of publicly available apps and the integration, management, and protection of tailor-made machine-specific apps
• Allows for security by design – The source code of the apps managed in NUPANO always remains with the user.
• Facilitates lifecycle management and revenue stream ownership – Each machine can be securely updated with new app versions throughout its life cycle in the field using NUPANO, while ensuring ownership of any associated digital revenue streams is retained by the OEM
