In modern industrial laundries, strapping machines secure the laundry packs for transport back to the customer. For this process to function smoothly, all steps must interlock perfectly - and all machines involved must automatically recognise and assign the laundry items. This also applies to the network-compatible strapping machines from Mosca GmbH.<\/p>\n

Private individuals who take an item of laundry to the dry cleaner want to get it back clean - and packed quickly and safely for transport home. Business customers place the same demands on industrial laundries - but on an industrial scale. A hotel, for example, sends hundreds of tablecloths, towels, sheets and service uniforms to the laundry overnight. The challenges for cleaning and logistics are therefore great: on delivery, everything should not only arrive at the right hotel clean, but also sorted by linen type and bundled.<\/p>\n

In modern industrial laundries, laundry is washed, dried and ironed fully automatically. At the end of the complex line, a folding machine folds the individual items and suitable machines secure the laundry packages for transport. Network-compatible strapping machines<\/strong> from Mosca are used by Kannegiesser, a specialist in laundry technology, as the final component of lines.<\/p>

\u201eTogether with our customers, we explore the possibilities of Industry 4.0<\/strong> out. One challenge is certainly to make the customer aware of the problems that networking can solve. Once this hurdle has been overcome, we can develop completely new solutions,\u201c emphasises Reinhard Broghammer<\/strong>, Head of Electrical Engineering Development at Mosca.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Self-controlling laundry<\/h2>\n

Kannegiesser, a supplier of laundry lines and technology from Vlotho in East Westphalia, meets these challenges with the concept of the \u201eSmart Laundry\u201c<\/strong>. \u201eThe term refers to the self-controlling laundry,\u201c explains Christian Wollmann, Product Line Manager Ribbon Systems at Kannegiesser. \u201eThanks to a centralised control system, our machines are optimally coordinated from the washing line to the folding machine and process the laundry fully automatically. As an intelligent solution, they are therefore able to track the laundry-specific data and allocate it to a delivery at any time.\u201c<\/p>\n

Open interfaces for a fully automated production line<\/h2>\n

Mosca machines have been used in systems supplied by Kannegiesser since 2012. Due to their Complete network capability<\/strong>, The use of common exchange formats such as JSON, the OPC_UA machine communication protocol and the open interfaces can make this possible. in automatic production lines<\/strong> be integrated. Scanners enable them to recognise incoming bundles of clean laundry and Strapping once or twice depending on requirements<\/strong>. \u201eWhat counts for our customers is the simplicity of the system,\u201c explains Wollmann. \u201eThey want to put it into operation quickly according to the \u201aplug and play\u2018 principle. The fact that Mosca machines can be perfectly integrated into our data technology pays off here.\u201c<\/p>\n

Networked machine generation<\/h2>\n

Industrial laundries are just one of many areas in which Strapping machines<\/strong> are used. These include the corrugated board and paper industry, the food and beverage industry, newspapers, mail order and logistics. The machines should not only be easy to integrate, but above all Easy to operate<\/strong> leave. Here Mosca relies on apps such as Remote Monitoring Interfaces<\/strong> (RMI), which can be used to access and control networked machines via computer browsers.<\/p>\n

\u201eA simple display of the machines, their components and programmes immediately makes the operator's work easier,\u201c explains Reinhard Broghammer, Head of Electrical Engineering Development at Mosca. \u201eFor example, they can immediately see which machine has a malfunction or which strapping programmes have been selected.\u201c The IT security<\/strong> in the foreground. Customers access the strapping machines via their intranet. This means that potential attacks from outside can be ruled out.<\/p>\n

Once around the world thanks to remote maintenance<\/h2>\n

If a machine does not perform as expected, Mosca can contact the customer via Remote maintenance<\/strong> get a quick overview of the problem. To do this, experts connect to the customer's computer, which is connected to the affected machine via LAN cable. This enables them to quickly carry out an analysis via the application already used by the customer. And globally. \u201eA colleague of mine is travelling the world every day,\u201c says Broghammer. \u201eThe Mosca Remote Service not only enables us to carry out a diagnosis, but also to operate all previous programmes in the same way as the user and install new ones.\u201c<\/p>\n

Ready for the future with RFID<\/h2>\n

Mosca's Industry 4.0 potential does not end with the strapping machines themselves. Similar to the laundry items, which are assigned to the correct pile and therefore to the customer in the industrial laundry, this also happens with the strapping manufactured in our own production<\/strong>. To this end, the company developed a system based on RFID tags in collaboration with ERP specialist PSI Automotive & Industry and the company Winckel. This allows customers to Tapes<\/strong> from Mosca Fully automatic storage and reordering<\/strong>. \u201eThe RFID system is a good example of what is possible for us under the umbrella term \u201aIndustry 4.0\u2018,\u201c explains Broghammer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In modern industrial laundries, strapping machines secure the laundry packages for transport back to the customer.
