“The objective at Schubert is to network and further develop all digital solutions and platforms in a meaningful way.”
Digital processes are
becoming the standard With the
GS.Gate from Schubert’s subsidiary Schubert System Elektronik, an industrial gateway is already built into every Schubert machine by the time it leaves the factory. The server not only collects machine information, enabling, for example, a view of OEE data on its
GRIPS.world platform, it also offers a multi-secured interface to the internet. Customers can optionally make the data accessible to Schubert via the gateway. This opens the way for accurate analysis of machine performance, predictive maintenance and therefore higher machine availability over the long term. Display and connection via an app is also possible over time, if customers prefer to use their own company platforms.
3D printing is inextricably linked to digital services. Today, there is not a single Schubert machine that leaves production without certain machine parts – mainly robot tools – coming from the 3D printer. With the new PARTBOX part streaming platform, Schubert will be providing its customers with certified digital print jobs via the internet in the future.

service intervals or to programme alarms for deviating values. Especially for the producing sectors such as the food industry, the goal of digital services must include precise machine prediction models, combined with intelligent logistics for spare parts and 24-hour availability in support. Because then even insidious changes such as unnatural heat generation or rising motor currents in a system can be detected and eliminated so early that major downtimes are reduced to an absolute minimum.
In a set with a 3D printer
and PARTBOX access, a digital warehouse is created, which can provide machine parts as well as a range of operating resources. It is also possible to expand the platform to include common warehouse functions such as stock overview, reorder options and the like.
Digital twin Titan
The digital twin developed by Schubert – named Titan – promises an all-new league of processes and services. The machine builder does not want to focus solely on spatial representation, but also wants to
be able to configure systems in the shortest possible time and to fully simulate complex packaging processes in moving images. The changed work processes in development provide customers with tangible advantages. With the Titan, machine configuration becomes much more efficient, safer, and delivery times are shortened, according to Schubert.
Commissioning can be simulated in advance, which makes virtual factory approvals even easier. Once real machine data has been incorporated into the digital twin, it will be possible to make even more precise forecasts of upcoming
Schubert now offers a central customer interface for all concerns. Even the distinction between mechanics and electronics, which is somewhat complex for customers, is no longer necessary, as both areas are inseparably linked in the systems. Downstream of the hotline is also a newly assembled Technology Centre with second-level support. The objective at Schubert is to network and further develop all digital solutions and platforms in a meaningful way. This enables the company to offer customers a comprehensive and attractive range of mobile maintenance services that fit into the Schubert premise of integrated system solutions.
