Making Film Logistics fit for Industry 4.0
Digitalisation in Film Logistics is playing an increasingly decisive role in determining how reliable, flexible and cost-effective a converting business operates. With our digitalisation process consultancy, we help you select the right technologies for your business and implement them effectively. The consultancy covers four areas.
The four areas of consultancy
- Cloud Consulting: By migrating IT systems, software and telephony to the cloud, you gain reliability and data security, as well as a flexible, scalable infrastructure that can be accessed from anywhere.
- IoT – Internet of Things: Existing machinery of all kinds can be connected to the cloud via mobile networks or Wi-Fi. Sensor data collected in this way enables predictive maintenance and prevents unplanned downtime.
- Network Infrastructure: We demonstrate which network solutions operate reliably even in a warehouse environment and how different sites can be interconnected.
- ConvertPlus2 control software: We integrate ConvertPlus2 seamlessly into your ERP system and use the analysis of log files to identify specific areas for optimisation.
Practical knowledge from our own business
Our recommendations are based on many years’ experience with logistics systems for film converting and on our own Film Logistics operations within the NEPATA Group, where we test new technologies ourselves. In addition to digitalisation, we offer consultancy on workflows and processes in Film Logistics. The article ‘Industry 4.0: Automated storage system for roll media’ demonstrates just how far automation can go.
