Smart Molding International 2-2021

IML & IMD 25 www.smart-molding.com robot developments, especially the ultra-productive Double Concept se - ries, future-oriented control concepts, industry 4.0 compliant solutions. Ma - chine Learning, for example, will have a great future," the Sales Manager ad - mits. Robots and all other plant com - ponents are monitored by specific algorithms. Predictability of what will happen in the plant, how long it will optimally produce under the given conditions and/or when a component - by means of forecasting messages - has to be replaced. These are some of the elements of precaution and machine analysis. In the future and right now, a customer can use the online portal to see how the plant works, including acceleration curves, vibrations, paths, temperatures, cycles and other char - acteristics. He can thus move freely around the system virtually via aug - mented reality, looking through the VR headset, "... for example to order modification or replacement compo - nents ... add to shopping basket! Trade fair budgets - savings? "In simple terms, the total cost we had budgeted for the 2020 exhibitions, including FAMUKA, a seven-figure Euro amount, has been 're-labelled' to a large extent into factory moderniza - tion, acquisition of new equipment and the product and system develop - ments mentioned above," says Marco Marconi. With regard to "FAKUMA Virtual", the company is making final preparations and trial runs for an in - troduction of a freely definable virtual company tour, as well as a text and im - age presentation of the entire automa - tion range. "It's remarkable that one of the two IML systems was sold in the first few days of our open house exhibition. It is a cheese tubs labelling application. The system will meet the customer's re - quirements after minor modifications to the standardized components," says Marco Marconi. Campetella's IML technology is mod - ularly upgradeable to handle 16 cavi - ties: "Basically, CRC stands primarily for fully automatic, robot-supported label - ling, decoration, handling, completion and value-addition of any product from any industry. Everything comes from a single source, CRC, with identical programming standards, in the form of simple engineering solutions with high-tech content for the maximum achievable performance ratios. This credo is our constant guide," reveals the Sales Manager. Campetella – quo vadis? "We are getting used to the Corona restrictions. Everyone wears masks all the time, maintaining distance. This does not really interfere with our work. The optimistic point is that our order books are full until April 2021, triggered by the fact that we have been working very hard in the markets in recent years and have established or reinforced our service centers. Exam - ples in Germany are the new Peter Nel - len agency, in Hamburg, to serve the strong packaging market in Northern Germany and the expanded capacities of KT Sakkas in Aurachtal, Franconia/ Bavaria, and other new/expanding subsidiaries or agencies in other re - gions such as Hunter/USA as well as Cristian Lopez Alvarez, key account manager for Mexico,“ says Marco. He doesn't really want to commit himself to whether plastics trade fairs in 2021 - PLAST Milano, NPE, etc., and finally FAKUMA 21 - are a topic for Campe - tella: "We can always react quickly. In any case, our Campetella Calling Open House 2020 will pay off, and the next one as well". Main contract areas? Giacomo Svampa, Continuous Im - provement Engineer, who also has a voice in the Strategic Market Develop - ment Division, explains: "For example, with the CRC Customer Portal, an analysis and trouble-shooting tech - nology in detail, we will soon have an important tool in our hands for keep - ing the production line in operation without downtime. All parts are coded and can be immediately identified for various purposes. Plus many tutorial animations based on “Creo” and „Indy 40” to configure systems, give instruc - tions for disassembly and assembly of components such as EOAT and IML tooling. This is a bonus when gener - ating business in the area of labelling and handling small food packaging such as capsules and cups".
