As the leading provider of vacuum technology, Schmalz supports its customers on the way toward networked production. The company will be at Assembly 2017 in Rosemont, IL, from October 24 to 26, at booth #840. Schmalz will demonstrate how vacuum technology can provide the operator with important process data through various channels, make automation procedures transparent, and increase productivity.
Without intelligent devices in networked production, Industry 4.0 cannot be implemented. At Assembly, Schmalz will be showing a whole collection of such Smart Field Devices. Via a built-in IO-Link, they can record, monitor and analyze data relevant to energy and performance in vacuum systems.
