      DataNavigateApp: Analyzing production data without programming

      The DataNavigateApp is an application specifically developed for the intelligent function module of the MELSEC iQ-R Series C. It combines operational, energy, cycle, and alarm analyses within a single environment. A particularly innovative aspect of the application is its ease of setup and use. Without any programming effort or prior expertise, it enables the immediate visualization and analysis of machine data. Four different standardized apps provide various perspectives on plant and machine operations: 1. Time-based operational analysis 2. Energy analysis 3. Operating cycle monitoring 4. Alarm analysis This significantly simplifies the first steps toward the digitalization and analysis of production processes. The results can be accessed via a web browser, making information available without the need for additional visualization devices or complex IT projects. As a result, opportunities for improvement and optimization can be identified more quickly during ongoing operations. The DataNavigateApp helps companies simplify access to machine data and facilitates the adoption of data-driven production optimization and digital transformation initiatives.

    2. Dauerlaufprüfstand

      Dauerlaufprüfstand

      Endurance tests are crucial for quality assurance because they simulate real-world operating conditions over extended periods, allowing for the early detection of potential problems. They serve as quality tests for suppliers and manufacturers and enable the validation of development results. However, since each test specimen requires its own test bench, this results in significant space, personnel, and cost expenditures – making endurance tests, despite their importance, a considerable economic and organizational challenge.

Our decentralized system eliminates the need for time-consuming installation. Set-up times and error sources are eliminated. Service and down-times are adjusted to your production cycles through predictive maintenance. Sounds complex, but Murrelektronik makes it quite simple! The future of automation is cabinetless.

    4. Digital shopfloor meeting

      Digital shopfloor meeting

      Regular team meetings are the core principle of successful shop floor management, where team members can discuss the most important things in a concise format. This includes an overview of open tasks and who is responsible for them, a summary of the status of work progress, and conclusions about the further course forward. In addition, the team also checks relevant key production figures or disruptions that occur in the value-added process. The aim of a shop floor meeting is to minimize information gaps and make work processes more efficient. This also reduces the stress placed on the employees because they are not constantly “putting out fires.” Instead, you can act preventively. More transparency in your processes If a conventional whiteboard stands at the center of your weekly shop floor meeting, you are probably also struggling with outdated or lost information. Thanks to our low-code software, Peakboard Designer, you can set up a customized digital dashboard for your meeting in no time and keep an eye on all of your team’s tasks at all times. To get started even faster, you can use our ready-made template to create new tasks, assign them to individual employees, and change the processing status. Whether it’s a standard monitor or a touchscreen, you can interactively update your dashboard if a process changes. Best of all, the data is also written back to the pre-configured data sources, eliminating the need for duplicate maintenance. In addition, you have the option to display other dashboard views that show relevant production information, such as safety and quality indicators, downtimes, scrap rates, cycle times, or OEE values that you can discuss at your shop floor meeting.

    6. Frameless Motors

      Frameless Motors

      Frameless motors have only two main components - stator and rotor - in common with conventional motors. This is a decisive advantage when it comes to tailor-cut design and individual integration into customer-specific systems. Due to the direct integration into machines or device assemblies and the hollow shaft concept with cable, compressed air, vacuum, fiber optic and laser feedthroughs, frameless motors require very little space. At the same time, they are highly efficient and durable and run stably and reliably in quiet operation. The KOCO MOTION motors are characterized by an immediate peak torque of up to 2400 Nm, a maximum motor speed of up to 900 rpm and a high level of user-friendliness. The frameless motors are also highly precise. They are backlash-free during high-precision and high-speed operations and have an extremely high level of positioning accuracy. KOCO MOTION supports and advises on the optimal design and integration of the modularly configurable frameless motors into customer systems. Since the compact motors are used in a wide variety of industries, such as robotics, mechanical engineering, packaging technology, semiconductor manufacturing or medical technology, it is important to precisely adapt and select all the necessary motor components. This is the only way to really get the best out of the frameless motor.

    7. High-efficiency BLDC Motors

      High-efficiency BLDC Motors

      in Englisch übersetzen The brushless DC motors from Groschopp, also known as BLDC motors, combine the characteristics of a DC drive with the advantages of maintenance-free three-phase synchronous motors. With this technology, the rotor is equipped with permanent magnets, while the stator consists of coils. An integrated electronic system precisely controls these coils, creating a continuously rotating magnetic field that drives the motor efficiently. In contrast to classic DC motors, this design concept completely eliminates mechanical carbon brushes. As a result, typical brush sparking is non-existent, meaning that neither disruptive sparks nor fine brush dust are generated. This feature makes the Groschopp drives ideal for use in highly sensitive environments such as cleanrooms, the textile industry, or optical applications. Another significant advantage is the extreme durability of the systems, which easily achieve 10,000 operating hours or more. Since there are no wear parts other than the mechanical bearings, maintenance efforts during continuous operation are reduced to a minimum. Furthermore, the BLDC motors impress with excellent energy efficiency, as they generate significantly less heat compared to conventional brushed motors while simultaneously achieving higher operating speeds. In terms of technical performance, the Groschopp portfolio covers a power range of up to 650 Watts at nominal speed ranges of up to 3000 revolutions per minute. The supply voltage ranges flexibly between 24 Volts and 48 Volts, while the compact motors deliver a torque of up to 2.1 Newton meters. For flexible application in modern mechanical and plant engineering, these brushless drives can also be combined directly with the manufacturer's matching gearboxes to create customized gear motors.
