Printing and converting needs digital solutions

The printing industry is facing major challenges: High demands on the sustainability of materials and the flexibility of machines as well as enormous cost pressure. At Labelexpo, Lenze will therefore be presenting not only hardware and software, but above all its digital services and platform offerings.

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

Lenze’s open automation platform Nupano is just one example: it forms the bridge between the OT and IT worlds and enables machine builders to bring applications (apps) into their machines without any IT know-how of their own.

Lenze can point to many other concrete digital offers and will show innovative solutions, such as for condition monitoring, for which no extra sensors are needed. 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 components and ensures improved machine availability.
