What possibilities does networking with the EDGE Device open up?
Activating the ENGEL EDGE Device gives you access to numerous functions:
With the shopfloor monitoring solution, you have an overview of your entire machinery. In addition, production data is analysed retrospectively and optimisation potential is identified at the touch of a button. The configuration effort of the monitoring is low. The monitoring of all machines runs independently of the manufacturer.
Keep an eye on the entire injection moulding cell process: With the process insights functionalities, you can make better decisions during sampling, start-up or root cause analysis. Achieve improved quality and efficiency in complaint analyses. Long-term effects are revealed through the simplest batch comparisons.
Competent online support, directly at your system. With the remote maintenance tool e-connect.24 you get qualified help for your injection moulding machine around the clock. We guarantee response time of 2 hours.
With the intelligent software solution iQ process observer, hundreds of process parameters can be monitored continuously and effortlessly across all four phases of the injection moulding process: plasticising, injection, cooling and demoulding.
