Pepperl will be bringing digital transformation at HMI2020

At HMI 2020, Pepperl+Fuchs will be presenting a whole range of examples and of approaches to the successful implementation of digital transformation.Pixel-Plus combines data streams from multidimensional TOF (“time-of-flight”) sensors with signals from high-resolution colour cameras, creating digital representations of real objects. These “digital twins” offer a much higher level of information than solely camera-or sensor-based solutions.
Together with the Linz Center of Mechatronics (LCM), an innovative digital approach to hydraulics intering presses that will achieve significant energy savings is being presented. In addition, cloud networking makes sensor data available regardless of location and thus enables effective status monitoring to optimise maintenance operations centrally and prevent unplanned down times.
