SCHURTER aimed to visualize their machine and process data in a way that is targeted to various user groups, allowing them to quickly and flexibly address both current and future questions. The objectives of the ‘SCHURTER Digital Factory’ included process monitoring, stabilization, optimization, and quality assurance at all levels.
SCHURTER and Octotronic worked together to quickly create a solution proposal and evaluate various scenarios. This collaboration led to the development of two to three use cases that could be implemented within 2023.
Key Achievements
Needs Assessment and Roadmap Development: Detailed analysis of challenges, goals, and stakeholder requirements.
Custom Connectivity Standards: Integration of innovative in-house designed SCHURTER systems with third-party machines, including manual and hard-to-automate production steps.
