Gateway to the future
通往自动化世界的关键
“Vertical integration into our customers’ world of automation” is the name of the game. Simply put, it’s all about making production data available that is as transparent, clearly structured and easy to interpret as possible. This data is provided, for example, by sensors mounted on a conveyor belt that count the number of parts produced or check product dimensions. When aggregated, the data offers insights into the quantity, errors, cycle rates, and positions for a tremendous range of products. When this information is analyzed intelligently, it helps customers optimize their control processes, minimize errors, and draw conclusions on how to make their processes more efficient. “For example, in our own production we measure the fill levels of adhesives containers and, on this basis, refill them precisely – without any standstills. In this regard, the SIG300 is the key to making data available transparently,” says Bruno.
“垂直集成到我们客户的自动化世界”是游戏的名称。简而言之，这一切都是为了提供尽可能透明、结构清晰且易于解释的生产数据。例如，这些数据由安装在传送带上的传感器提供，这些传感器计算生产的零件数量或检查产品尺寸。汇总后，这些数据提供了对大量产品的数量、误差、循环率和位置的见解。当这些信息被智能分析时，它可以帮助客户优化他们的控制过程，最大限度地减少错误，并得出如何提高他们的过程效率的结论。“例如，在我们自己的生产中，我们测量胶粘剂容器的填充量，并在此基础上精确地重新填充它们 - 没有任何停机。在这方面，SIG300 是透明提供数据的关键，“Bruno 说。
On real-world shop floors, you’ll rarely find “pure-bred” lines with components from just one brand. In practice, IO-Link devices like the SIG300 have to be integrated into various manufacturers’ control systems. Accordingly, SICK offers an IO-Link Function Block Factory online – a “generator,” so to speak, that allows users to create manufacturer-neutral function blocks. In this way, SICK is helping make the heterogeneous machinery landscape more manageable and greatly simplifying implementation for customers.
在现实世界的车间中，您很少会发现只使用一个品牌的组件的“纯种”生产线。在实践中，像 SIG300 这样的 IO-Link 设备必须集成到不同制造商的控制系统中。因此，SICK 在线提供 IO-Link 功能块工厂 – 可以说是“生成器”，允许用户创建独立于制造商的功能块。通过这种方式，SICK 有助于使异构机械环境更易于管理，并大大简化了客户的实施。
