Joint Consortium Standardizes Common “Power Consumption Management” for the Shop Floor

A new interface standard for the acquisition of energy consumption data in industrial manufacturing is being developed by ODVA, OPC Foundation, PI, and VDMA based on OPC UA. A key objective of the future mechanical and plant engineering sectors is to achieve climate-neutral production. This is backed up by the European Union’s “European Green Deal”, which aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050. To achieve this goal, and to implement many other use cases, energy consumption data in production is an important prerequisite.

This Tray Former Is Only Open for Efficiency, PILZ’s International Success Story

Extreme flexibility and fast format change are the distinguishing features of the 1200 s tray former from Sema Systemtechnik: the cardboard blanks are fed in at one second intervals and folded, glued and sealed in several production stages. From a risk analysis it was clear that an effective safety solution had to be found for the situation where there was “no cardboard in front of the feed opening” – a solution that would restrict neither the operator nor the process. SEMA opted for Pilz’s TÜV SÜD-certified solution for safe cardboard feed.
