Lantech presents new monitoring software that enables companies to monitor and optimise their packaging process with real-time data. LINC is used to optimise the performance of stretch wrappers and case erectors.
LINC offers a wide range of functions that enable users to analyse the performance of their machines in real time. One of the core functions is uptime performance tracking, which allows the operating status of the machines to be continuously monitored. Operators can therefore intervene in good time in the event of problems, even before the packaging process is impaired. The system also provides Information on the number of erected cartons, the total cycles of the machine and the alarm log. Alarms that have led to an interruption in the packaging process are highlighted in red and provide the operator with useful links to help with troubleshooting.
In addition, the Compare actual output with planned production targets and historical trend data. If targets are missed, the company receives automatic notifications and analyses so that appropriate measures can be taken quickly. The LINC portal analyses enable the Technical Support Centre of Lantech better understand which problems exist in the event of complaints. The RemoteConnect system enables remote access to the Supports on the control unit of the packaging device to carry out checks or updates.
The system also analyses downtimes. This function can be used to investigate service interruptions and prioritise problems in order to Optimise maintenance and repair work. The aim is to improve the average recovery time (MTTR) and thus increase the efficiency of the entire packaging process.
LINC was developed to provide a Secure environment for data transmission to guarantee security. The system utilises a comprehensive security architecture that provides physical separation from the customer network. In addition, there is an architecture for security authorisations that provides a Structured approach to granting user access to the application's functions by site administrators.
The software increases system availability, reduces film consumption and optimises load quality. LINC analyses key performance indicators, Recognises inactive machines and incorrect winding profile settings and announces film roll changes. The online tool's data can be viewed in real time from anywhere via the Internet, so that any necessary adjustments can be made immediately. Users have the option of defining performance targets and comparing developments.
