OUTLOOK
W hat would happen if tools could simply report their
location instead of have to be searched for? If they
could issue a warning signal when exeeding limits
before ending up in a crash? Or could communicate with pro-
cessing and tool presetting machines making identical data
available everywhere and optimizing processes? Correct,
that would be pretty clever! This may soon be possible with
Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) – the technical university
Darmstadt is presently working with partners from industry
on developing these smart tools. Also involved is ZOLLER, to-
gether with companies such as Heidelberger Druckmaschinen
AG, Siemens AG, Gühring and Haimer.
Process sequences can be
optimized through intelligent
linking in production.
Smart Tool –
pretty clever!
The next step in direction of Industry 4.0
