Cognitive T-slot sensor concept: Increasing forming machine efficiency with cognitive transformation of industrial processes

Anhand eines Umformpressen-Demonstrators können sich Besuchende live ein Bild über die Funktionsweise des intelligenten Nutensteins machen. Die vom smartNotch übertragenen Prozessdaten werden dabei auf einem angeschlossenen Terminal visualisiert.

Forming presses are widely used as key elements of industrial production processes. From automotive technology to refrigerators, almost every product we encounter contains formed parts. The purchasing costs of these machines can reach double-digit millions, and it takes a great deal of time to set up and adjust precisely as needed. Given such a high level of investment, buyers expect machinery of this kind to keep running efficiently for a long time without any loss in quality. At the Hannover Messe 2022, the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Internet Technologies CCIT will demonstrate how cognitive transformation of industrial processes can improve the efficiency of forming machines (Hall 5, Booth A06). The technology that serves as the basis for the exhibit is smartNOTCH – a cognitive T-slot.
