SMART FACTORY by KOMAX: innovation for Industry 4.0
Trends
Long before terms such as Industry 4.0 or the Internet of Things became commonplace, Komax was developing intelligent products. With SMART FACTORY by KOMAX, it continues the tradition of innovation.
Key insights
Mega-trends such as smart mobility present the industry with new challenges – including in production.
With SMART FACTORY by KOMAX, innovative solutions and products are available to customers in response to this.
The range of products and services is constantly being expanded and provides considerable competitive advantages.
The mega-trends of smart mobility and smart cities are increasingly determining our everyday lives. At the same time, many products are becoming ever more intelligent and complex. Komax customers are involved in these developments and supply the industry with key components. In doing so, they need to overcome major hurdles: despite increasing complexity, they must reliably deliver consistently high quality. At the same time, costs need to be kept as low as possible. As an innovation driver in the industry, we have recognized these trends and challenges and have created SMART FACTORY by KOMAX.
Innovative solutions and products with numerous customer benefits
SMART FACTORY by KOMAX offers products and solutions that significantly reduce quality costs and greatly increase productivity in wire processing. It is characterized by four properties:
- It is intuitive to use.
- It automates production as well as material and data flow.
- It is self-regulating in the production processes.
- It is connected in a network.
In concrete terms, this means demonstrably fewer errors occur in production and efficiency is increased, even for complex production tasks. The bottom line is that SMART FACTORY by KOMAX provides our customers with additional competitive advantages.
An example of one of our Smart Factory solutions is the Q1250 Quality Tool – the digital eye. Thanks to intelligent image analysis, this module controls crimp quality fully automatically, eliminating painstaking (and error-prone) visual inspection by the machine operator. Other important new elements of SMART FACTORY by KOMAX are the products and services of the Komax Connect series and the Sigma 688 ST. This machine has the highest degree of automation in the production of twisted wires.
The innovation continues: self-regulating systems
As a pioneer and market leader in the field of automated wire processing, we are further investing in intelligent, reliable, optimally cost-effective wiring solutions for smart-mobility and smart-city applications. The SMART FACTORY by KOMAX product range is being continuously expanded. In the future, systems will be able to adjust themselves and thus regulate the production process independently – even across different plants. We are doing further work with our customers to make life simpler, more convenient, and safer.
