Operators of highly automated intralogistics systems such as warehouses, airports or mail distribution centers are faced with a perpetual challenge: how to ensure high system availability, avoid unplanned downtime and detect failures in advance while minimizing maintenance and inspection efforts?
At Lenze, we promote open standards and compatibility between systems. That is why all modern Lenze controllers support the OPC-UA standard for communication between components. Sometimes however, there might be controllers that do not yet support it. For this reason, our industrial remote access solution X4 Remote also supports a broad variety of industry standard protocols. Today we’re happy to add support for another protocol.
The Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is an important machine KPI to measure and understand the output of a machine. Implementing systems for calculating the OEE will not only be useful to machine builders when it comes to technical support, for example, but can also be a convincing argument when talking to end customers.
