21.07.2014 Industry 4.0 comes to weigh-filling

Haver & Boecker’s Machinery Division, Oelde, Germany, has developed intelligent filling systems which operate in accordance with the Industry 4.0 concept. Industry 4.0 is defined as being the fourth industrial revolution and is characterised by the networking of intelligent machines that exchange information on their own, activate actions, and control each other. The production processes are horizontally integrated, which means the various components of the value-adding chain interact with each other and ensure efficient and flexible work processes.

With the company’s networked filling concept, weighing and weight checking systems communicate with other machine components and control the bulk product filling process. The weight checking scale immediately delivers feedback to the filling spout and thus ensures the prescribed weight range is adhered to. This guarantees minimal deviations from the precise target weight and results in money savings for customers. The documentation of the process provides extensive analysis possibilities and allows further optimisation. The weight checking scale continuously transmits the actual bag weight and accurate-to-the-gram suggestions for achieving a precise correction of the filling amount. www.haverboecker.com
