Continuous monitoring

Manufacturing

The challenge Blickle has always prided itself on the superior quality of its wheels and castors. To further enhance this quality with modern technology, the company decided to migrate its production processes to Industry 4.0 standards. This planned transition should have minimal impact on the three-shift production operation, while maintaining flexibility and openness for future digitalization initiatives. The solution Blickle IT developed a concept to enable a sustainable and gradual transformation. At the heart of the strategy is edbic, which enables condition monitoring. Acting as a central data hub, edbic seamlessly extracts data from the machines, transfers it to the ERP system and provides full production transparency. The result With the implementation of edbic, machine data no longer reaches IT incomplete or delayed. Immediate data analysis enables rapid problem resolution. Automatic punching presses are monitored to determine output results, missing parts, quantities and more. By eliminating most of the Excel lists previously used, edbic has significantly streamlined operations. In polyurethane production, edbic identifies and corrects problems, contributing to Blickle's high quality castors and wheels. In addition, edbic is now being used beyond production, facilitating connections to payment providers in the web shop and establishing a communication link with SAP. Outlook for the future Blickle plans to further refine the system by using machine data comparison for predictive maintenance. In addition, the company is considering implementing the compacer IoT gateway to take communication between machines and the ERP system to a new level of automation.

IoT gateway and Industry 4.0 application

Industry 4.0, Manufacturing

The challenge: BURKHARDT+WEBER is renowned for its expertise in large machining centres. Headquartered in Reutlingen, Germany, the company has a global presence and supplies its products to customers around the world who place a premium on quality. For 130 years, BURKHARDT+WEBER has focused on developing state-of-the-art production solutions for the demanding machining of steel, cast iron and titanium components. The development of these machining centres is the collaborative work of interdisciplinary teams, and all essential components, as well as in-house developments, are manufactured within the company. The compacer IoT solution, built on the edbic platform, is planned for future integration into BURKHARDT+WEBER machining centres. The installation of the compacer IoT gateway enables data collection from the machine's control system. In the long term, BURKHARDT+WEBER machines will offer a wide range of data that can be examined in real time to provide a detailed overview of the machine's condition and efficiency on a dashboard. The solution: An IoT hub will process the collected data, enabling a variety of assessments and ensuring that the operator is kept informed at all times. With machines connected to the compactor solution, condition monitoring is possible, paving the way for the implementation of predictive maintenance. With this approach, BURKHARDT+WEBER enables its customers to successfully implement upcoming digital transformation projects within their production processes.

Automation

All

Here we are talking about automation, what google calls toil, annoying repetitive tasks that eat up your time preventing you from focusing on what matters. Software engineering can help you automate these tasks and focus. You can sleep well at night knowing you will not be disturb since you have implemented automation with the support of Clair Services.

Use case

Talleys

Food, Beverage

Working with our Italian partner Automha and local Racking Partner StorePro, PHS Innovate’s scope included all the racking, automation equipment and conveyors in and surrounding the Cool store. The system scans wrapped and labelled pallets and communicates with Talley’s inventory system to retrieve details for the pallet. The system then stores the pallets in rack locations based on Batch and date for optimised future retrieval. When a truck or container load is needed, Talley’s inventory system communicates with our automated handling system to request specific pallets. Our solution then retrieves and delivers the requested pallets to a designated area for the forklift driver to load into the truck or container.

Custom Electronic Design

automotive, E-mobility, automation, industrial automation, machinery, industrial machinery, smart industry, industry 4.0

Electronic design frameworks Electronic design starts from the component layout specification. Also, it consists in the definition of interconnections and PCB technology. Finally, component selection is formalized (BOM, Bill of Material), such as the circuit schematics and the layout of PCB traces (gerber file). If the Electronc Systems is composed of multiple circuit boards, electronic design includes the description of the interconnection schemes, and the instructions for the wiring manufacturing. Adgenera develops electronic circuits tailored and suitable for any application. It selects the most valuable technology for the peculiar field of application, in order to ensure the maximum reliability. Electronic design frameworks Custom-designed electronic solutions can be found in many sectors, covering various fields of application and meeting Client needs. The most frequent requests are: design “from the scratch” miniaturization of an existing circuit board cost Reduction electronic board update, when components are no longer available engineering a prototypal board, either partially or completely working functional improvement (for example, adding a wireless interface) performance improvement (for example, power consumption reduction) Other elements increase the complexity of the electronic design: legacy firmware for the previous version of board need for a custom / legacy interface to other electronic existing systems availability of the components on the market within a certain amount of time project constraints due to standards or certifications The steps of the Electronic Design Electronic design aims to respond to the request of designing and producing electronic circuit boards. First, the customer is interviewed on the characteristics of the electronic system to be designed.. The customer is actively involved to identify the best design choices. This preliminary phase leads to the correct identification of development times and costs, allowing the customer to verify the compliance with his needs and to create a preliminary project planning. Now the electronic scheme can be designed. Specific skills of our designers are applied to correctly select and size the components. Once the scheme has been designed, the electronic components available on the market are selected. Then, they will be soldered to the electronic board during its production phase. We select the most suitable package of components depending on the layout, the space available and the type of application. This design phase leads a draft of the BOM (Bills of Materials) necessary to supply and solder the right components. The electronic components chosen are placed on the board surface. Their positions strictly match design constraints principles to guarantee the correct functioning of the electronic system. Usually several alternative arrangements are evaluated. Finally, the chosen one is the one that leads to the best result once the electronic card is produced. Once the components are finally placed in the board, it is necessary to draw the connections (tracks) that appropriately connect the pins of the components themselves. The tracks design needs to follow many rules and best practices: although there are infinite ways to connect the chosen components, only a few solutions guarantee a good quality card. The preliminary electronic design project is ready: the first board samples are created to check the functionality and performance of the designed electronic system in the laboratory. During the tests, the laboratory instrumentation verifies that each quantity measurable on the card corresponds to the value theoretically calculated during the electronic scheme design.
