Smartest Factory: Digitalisation across the complete value chain
In the ‘Digital Services and Software’ area, ARBURG is showcasing its comprehensive portfolio of digitalisation solutions across the complete value chain. The focus is on how its customers are supported on their journey towards their ‘Smartest Factory’ goal with products, services and comprehensive expertise – from smart injection moulding, through automated production cells, to digitally interlinked plastics parts production. On display will be, for example, GESTICA lite and new features of the arburgXworld customer portal as well as ARBURG‘s own MES.
The in-house developed MES (ALS) will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2026. A new feature is an MES cloud solution hosted by ARBURG. Furthermore, ALS now offers new functions incorporating artificial intelligence (AI), for example in program analysis and management. The AI-supported, automated analysis of key indicators at the touch of a button is particularly helpful.
The arburgXworld customer portal can be integrated with the MES or used independently of it. Its numerous apps covering all injection moulding tasks – from the selection of the right machine and process optimisation directly on the personal computer to providing active support in the event of malfunctions – simplify day-to-day work, prevent errors and boost productivity.
All exhibits will be equipped with several assistant or pilot functions. These guide the operator safely through the processes, enable predictive maintenance of moulds and machinery, and ensure the required part quality, high process stability and reduced unit costs, even in the face of changing conditions and materials.
The new ‘aXw Control FirstShotAssist’ e.g. supports the set-up operator during production start-up. This reduces the time required to produce the first good part and does not require any specialist knowledge. The ‘aXw Control DoEAssist’ for process optimisation brings structured validation directly to the injection moulding machine.
