With Connect|M, cutting-die manufacturer Marbach has developed a new system solution for digital die-cutting onto the market, which from a hitherto largely analogue process makes a digital one.
Connect|M is a system solution for packaging manufacturers, which digitally connects their punching machines, punching tools and users. The Cloud-based connection happens regardless of the manufacturer of the machines and tools used.
„On our new user platform you will find interested parties important information on the topic of digitisation in die-cutting, but also many valuable tools with which they can optimise their performance in the punching process can. With the system solution, we enable users to achieve performance Tracking and efficient tool management." Dominic Fischer, Project manager Marbach
The new system solution for packaging manufacturers consists of web-based software combined with various hardware and software components.Components, cameras, sensors and QR codes in packaging production. The The result is the cloud-based, digital connection of punching tools, Punching machine and user.
Connect|M Tool Management for tool management
The Connect|M „Tool Management“ module includes all functions that can be with the Tool management topic deal with. This is because the provision of tools must be efficient Packaging production work perfectly: The tool must be quick must be traceable, maintenance must be guaranteed and repeat orders should be placed quickly and easily. be possible efficiently.
„Tool management is about maximising Clear overview of the user's tools: CAD data, storage location and Maintenance management - the user has all this data at a glance, including Order history of the tools, recording of customer data and filing of Documentation data. Another highlight of this module: Enquiries and orders can be triggered quickly and easily in a semi-automated process. There are various packages (Basic, Pro and Expert) available for this module, which interested parties can order quickly and easily via our new User platform can book.“ Dominic Fischer, Project manager
Recognising trends with performance tracking
The Connect|M module „Performance Tracking“ is about recording and analysing key performance indicators in packaging production. The fact that the system solution connects the tool with the punching machine and the user means that performance figures for the tools used can be determined quickly and easily. All important key figures are clearly displayed in a performance dashboard and can be called up at the touch of a button.
Fischer: „The Performance Tracking module makes it possible to compare different tools with each other as well as to compare one and the same tool on different machines. The user also receives an automated message in the event of changes in tool performance. It is also possible to objectively compare the performance of several production sites. The result: Based on the key figures collected, users can Benchmarking, recognising trends, uncovering potential and thus increase the performance of their packaging production step by step. And at each of their sites.“
