At Ligna 2015, Leitz featured networked tooling production and after-sale service excellence. Visitors to the Leitz booths also witnessed a number of innovations in tooling, including the ProfilCut Q profile cutterhead system.
With the slogan “Good as new”, Leitz installed a complete service station in its booth. “High-level tool service is the fundamental component of our service commitment”, said Alessandro Telesio, speaker for Management of the Leitz Group. Quality of service determines whether tools perform at the same level from the first day of use until the last and whether their lifetime potential is fully maximized. “Therefore we wanted to show our visitors what makes our service so special”, continues Telesio.
The main feature of Leitz’s other booth in hall 26 was networked production—Industry 4.0. Visitors could see the first prototypes of networked tooling. These tools contain tiny data chips with individual codes that are stored in a cloud. “There, tools will actively save individual data with ongoing updates”, said Telesio looking to the future. Machines, service technicians and users can easily access this data. Booth visitors also observed “eApps4Production”, a current research project. The objective of this project is to develop engineering apps which collect various information from production processes and provide this data to any end device. “The Apps will open up new options in process optimization“, predicts Telesio.
