TURNINGpoint: The customer magazine of the INDEX Group
Digitization is one of the central opportunities of the coming years. At the same time, it also presents many companies with major challenges.
This topic is currently being further accelerated by pleasing economic conditions: Companies are looking for (new) ways to use existing resources even more efficiently, not only for economic reasons, but also due to limited production capacities. The spectrum of approaches ranges from the generation of operating data, through centrally controllable maintenance of all installed machines, to early detection of possible machine and process faults – in short: transparency of status and process data. In this context, the aim is always to increase the utilization of existing resources by optimizing processes and minimizing downtimes. But it is also important to become leaner, more flexible and faster in the machine environment.
Machine manufacturers and users are equally challenged here. Machine manufacturers by offering secure connectivity with clear transparency and control for the customer with regard to the transmitted data. On the basis of this data, practical functions should enable more efficient handling of the machine. On the part of the machine users, the willingness to provide the necessary data for the desired analyses is required.
In all fundamental considerations regarding the structures and processes associated with this in the future, the first steps in implementation must now be taken quickly. At our Open House 2018 in April, we already presented exemplary apps that help you, our customers, to increase transparency and efficiency in your production. We are consistently expanding our range of services in close dialog with you. Already in September, we will present further, new possibilities at IMTS in Chicago and at AMB in Stuttgart.
Of course, we will also be presenting innovative machine concepts again. In addition to the INDEX G420 turn-mill center presented for the first time, the sliding headstock version of the INDEX MS22 CNC multi-spindle machine and new automation solutions will be the focus of our new presentations. Experience our innovations in advance on the following pages. We wish you an exciting read and look forward to your visit at IMTS in Chicago and/or at AMB in Stuttgart. We invite you to join us in a successful future!
