IFM ELECTRONIC MAKES IIOT EASY AT PPMA 2022
At PPMA, ifm electronic is focussing on its ground-breaking moneo IIoT platform on stand B14. This has been developed to provide a convenient solution to the challenge of converting the huge amount of data produced by modern plant and machines into useful information that can be used to reduce downtime, optimise efficiency and cut costs. IIoT solutions have the reputation of being costly and difficult to implement.
The moneo system eliminates these problems by making it easy to implement powerful and scaleable IIoT solutions at modest cost. At the heart of the system is moneo OS, which provides flow modelling
and automatic alarm functions as well as facilities for managing all of the other moneo software modules. These include moneo RTM which can be used to implement fully customisable user interfaces presenting plant and machine information in numeric, graphical or dashboard formats; moneo configure, which offers powerful configuration and management facilities for connected IO-Link sensors and devices; moneo infopoint which collects data from connected devices; and moneo edgeconnect which allows easy and secure interchange of data with IT systems. Visitors will also be able to find out about the company’s newest sensing
solutions. Among these are the longer length conductivity sensors for use with Tri-clamp connections in CIP applications, self-checking temperature sensors that are ideal for use in critical processes, and radar level sensors that have a measuring accuracy of ± 2mm at ranges up to 10m.

FESTO TO SHOW PROGRESS IN MOTION AT PPMA
The Festo stand (D100) will focus on key applications for the process and packaging sector. These include innovative process valve controls, servo-controlled flow wrapping, and a new solution for controlling web tension with dancing rollers. An OEM balancer will be introduced to make it easy for designers to integrate all the counter-balance controls they need with their own mechanical structures. An action packed production line will look at an assembly task
demonstrating connectivity and integration from the mechanics, sensors, actuators and controls linked to edge, or cloud monitoring for machine learning assisted predictive maintenance, energy reduction or quality monitoring. Energy costs are a massive issue for all UK manufacturers. So,
Festo has some great examples for monitoring and controlling compressed air usage to reduce energy consumption. New products are white elephants if the workforce isn’t adequately
prepared to embrace and maximise the technology. The new Festo LX online learning platform offers users access to a vast library of training resources. It is a powerful and yet extremely cost-effective subscription based tool to provide the perfect hybrid blend of online and hands-on upskilling. Festo Didactic is actively engaged in helping customers take their employees through the journey of embracing Lean
methodologies, streamlining and stabilising their processes before they uplift them to the next level of digitalisation technology. Festo
