Company insight
At the head of the process digitalisation
Production management and live data access is becoming central to modern packaging lines, and Berhalter, with its coterie of die-cutting products, stands at the forefront of that shift. By getting on board with internet of things technologies, it is encouraging packaging production companies to push ahead in their sectors by making use of Berhalter’s invaluable stock of efficiency-raising, cost- depressing data access.

erhalter claims to be the number one in the die-cutting industry. It passionately supports die-cutting companies, packaging and converting companies, print shops and food manufacturers to automate and optimise their processes. Berhalter’s die-cutting machines, die-cutting tools and innovations are consistently and deliberately designed for efficiency and a long service life.
The die-cutting systems are the basis for numerous packaging solutions, and are constantly striving to be better, expanding existing die-cutting technologies with new, trendsetting systems.
automation-created data, the fourth industrial revolution is about translating data into information. As societies, we are experiencing the fourth industrial revolution, which started over a decade ago and has gained major momentum over the last seven years.
Digital transformation and industrial internet of things (IIoT) are mechanisms used to turn data into information. Digital transformation is the digitalisation of businesses, and provides information whenever they need it. The best example of the internet of things is in the smartphone. Entire lives are based on phones now, where users can do
“The Berhalter high-performance die-cutting machine is the first and only that can be connected to this intelligent IIoT service platform. It makes production processes clearer with access to live machine and tool data in real time.”
It focused on automation at an early stage. In 2010, it started to develop BEAMstack, the first fully automatic handling and packaging system in the die-cutting industry worldwide. The BEAMstack system separates a precisely counted lid or label stack, and places the stack at a predetermined position automatically. Therefore, a perfect customer-specified, automatic packaging solution can be created, which results in significant personnel cost savings and increases production capacity.
Fourth estate
Industry 4.0 means movement. If the third industrial revolution was
everything they want to. IIoT is basically the same concept but on an industrial capacity. It is a function of changing the way people currently do business. It digitalises life and businesses. Companies and organisations have to sign up for this service. And in order to do so, they may have to adapt their old security policies to allow information technologies to be merged with operational technologies.
Bespoke systems
The innovative and revolutionary IIoT service platform product CUTcontrol offers customers particularly high economic benefits. Indeed, recently, the Swiss

television channel SRF put Berhalter’s CUTcontrol in focus because it paves the way to IIoT, and is characterised by smart integration and a clear focus on die-cutting machines and their performance indicators. CUTcontrol assumes the role of a support system, and uses diagnostic tools for data analysis in order to increase production performance. The Berhalter high-performance die- cutting machine is the first and only that can be connected to this intelligent IIoT service platform. It makes production processes clearer because of the access it grants to live machine and tool data, and in real time. Machine efficiency and capacity increases as data analysis improves planning because of precise condition monitoring.
New productivity metrics The unique digital platform is a measure of productivity and efficiency, and uses diagnostic tools for data analysis in order to increase the production performance. Additionally, target-oriented service, in combination with good spare parts management, improves machine utilisation rates.
Digitalisation redefines collaboration. When linked intelligently, data provides meaningful conditions and performance information. To make the right decisions, businesses need transparency. The goal is a prompt correction of faults and early determination of the service parts required. This allows them to access key figures at any time and keep an eye on productivity. And with Berhalter, access is child’s play via a PC, tablet or smartphone because of intelligent Swiss- made die-cutting technology. ●
