Our digital solutions range from 3D simulations to Deep Learning and AR. We are happy to support you with customized offers tailored to your unique requirements. Optimize your processes such as training and commissioning with the help of digital twins and boost the efficiency of your production processes through AI. With K 4.0 – the digital solutions from KOCH.
INTUITIVELY CORRECT OPERATION: THE HMI PANEL
The optics of a tablet, 21"monitor, graphical switch panel and clear images of all relevant machine views and parameters: the HMI panel permits intuitively correct operation and fast setups – directly at the machine or via a mobile device:
- High flexibility for future applications
- Integration of Cloud and IoT solutions
- Extraction of Big Data for preventive maintenance
- Integration of remote service systems, e.g., service glasses or HoloLens
- Connection to machines – allocation of parts lists, CAD images, etc.
- Smart training systems
K 4.0 SMARTPACKS – SERVICE, PERFECTLY TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
Improved productivity, increased availability, and optimized efficiency of the entire system: these are the benefits of our K 4.0 smartpacks. We create digital service packages individually tailored to you and your needs so that you can unleash your full potential. Minimize unplanned downtime and permanently lower maintenance costs with K 4.0 smartpacks.
FASTER COMMISSIONING – ON A VIRTUAL MODEL
The so-called digital twin enables virtual commissioning by means of 3D simulation of the machine and original software. This technology is used for the development of retrofits, which reduces the downtime of the machines to be retrofitted.
The advantages of virtual commissioning or a digital twin: the machine or line is ready for operation faster and your personnel can be trained on the virtual model. This increases work efficiency, thus saving time and maximizing productivity. In the case of retrofits, the machine continues to run while one or even several retrofit variants are run through virtually before the best solution is physically installed in the machine.
SMART SUPPORT WORLDWIDE: SERVICE GLASSES
Service glasses permit immediate support at the machine when an on-site visit can be avoided. A secure voice and live image connection links one of our experts to your operator so he can be led through preventive maintenance measures or rectify a malfunction. The advantages: reduced outlay for support, fewer on-site visits, and significantly increased machine uptime resulting from the global support of our services specialists.
ACCESS DIRECTLY TO MACHINE PARAMETERS: THE K 4.0 SMART APP
With the K 4.0 Smart App, you have two options to access machine parameters at any time: Via a QR code, you receive all individual production data of your packaging: Via Beacon Scanning - automatic connection of mobile devices with small Bluetooth transmitters in closed areas such as your production halls - you can access the live data of your KOCH machine or line. All data are stored in a cloud and can be used for analysis purposes. The app includes comprehensive security features, with both network and application protection. The K 4.0 Smart App is available through iTunes and Google Play, system requirement is iOS7 or Android 4.3.
Advantages:
- worldwide access to machine and production data
- early fault detection and avoidance of longer downtimes
- easy product tracking
