Schwer und Kopka GmbH - effiziente Prozess- und  Werkzeugüberwachung Ihrer Produktionsmaschinen
Benefits:
  • Reduction of operating costs
  • Needs-based requirement
  • Extension of unit downtimes
  • Avoidance of energy waste

With the MES software SK-go!®, all auxiliary and supply units as well as energy consumers in production can be controlled as needed. For this purpose, we use an aggregate server via which the connected systems can be switched on or off on demand. For example in many production facilities, the exhaust air locks available for each machine are only open when the machines are actually in production. If a machine is not in operation, the airlock is automatically closed after an adjustable waiting time. Thus, the compressor has to generate less air volume and uses less energy.

The compressed air supply itself can, for example, be switched off completely or line-by-line in an unmanned trailing layer after the last machine has been stopped. Unnecessary air consumption through open valves (leakage losses) is avoided.

For this purpose, the auxiliary units can be controlled by time. The desired unit automatically boots before the start of the first shift scheduled on the respective day and switches off after the end of the last shift.
