What do SACMI machines provide? Well, practically everything, or almost: human-machine interaction based on new controls, digital tools and AI will take center-stage on the SACMI stand at NPE – The plastic show, the USA’s leading rigid packaging technology fair, which returns to Orlando, Florida, from 6th to 10th May 2024.
Digital means ‘easy’ and profitable: the latest tools.
The primary goal of digitally advanced controls is to protect the customer's investment by making it easier for operators to manage SACMI machines and plants. Let’s look at ‘digital inside’ technology from three perspectives:
- Smart Pack 2. This is the latest advanced control package, available from 2024 on SACMI CCM cap presses. The goal is deep control of everything on the machines, from hydraulics to consumption, giving systems ‘self-adjustment’ capabilities and feeding valuable functional info back to process control. Another fresh feature for 2024 is the ‘prediction’ button on the press: this forecasts machine behavior over time, anticipating any production drifts and expediting proactive maintenance.
- Smart Care. An exclusive service on SACMI machines, Smart Care provides secure in-Cloud sharing of the main operating parameters; it ensures optimal decision-making on the line and feeds customers real-time suggestions and assistance from the SACMI team. This service augments the opportunities offered by SPACE, the gateway to all SACMI assistance services, provided in synergy with the SACMI USA team.
- Classy AI. A SACMI-led quality control revolution: part of the SACMI Computer Vision systems CVs suite, Classy AI automatically classifies defects, making it much easier to run plants and perform process control.
