Advanced digital capabilities improve wet-grinding systems
The SmartPro suite of solutions provide improved process control for the company’s wet-grinding systems. SmartPro Cockpit uploads data into a high-security cloud, allowing seamless data access anytime from any location. To ensure traceability, all data are linked to a manufacturing batch identification. SmartPro Statistics detects changes of defined parameters, which alerts operators if the process performance deviates beyond the target window. The system either creates an alarm messege or adjusts single or complete sets of parameters to optimize production. SmartPro Optimization uses optimization algorithms to help operators assess and manage product properties, such as quality (for instance, particle-size distribution, viscosity and more), and allows the behcnhmarking of processes, machine locaions or even industry competitors. — Bühler Group, Uzwil, Switzerland
