Machine Connectivity: Revolutionizing Real-Time Automation

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Lantek has developed software that operates independently of machine manufacturers, with specialized interfaces that allow it to communicate with any equipment or cutting technology. Lantek’s new “Machine Connectivity” technology takes this flexibility to the next level, advancing toward Industry 4.0. It integrates machines into a comprehensive network, controlling them, collecting their data, and presenting it in a clear and accessible way for users.

Software for the coexistence of different sheet metal cutting machines at the same plant

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Typically, a second machine tool is added to plants in an attempt to increase production and/or diversify. However, we are also seeing it as a phenomenon aimed at resolving the issue with small series. This occurs when there’s a machine with a large automated production capacity which is expensive to interrupt in order to manufacture small series. To cover this gap and avoid interrupting serial production, many factories use an additional, cheaper machine, without automation but with greater availability.

Innovating within the concept of Smart Manufacturing

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Identifying behavioral patterns to increase sales, foreseeing possible problems in order to resolve them before they happen, managing stock in a much more efficient way or redistributing the workload automatically. These are some of the many smart manufacturing possibilities offered by this new concept in the Industry 4.0 era.
