Industry 4.0 - Import export

At ASCO, iSeries stands for networked production. Whether for fast and efficient problem solving and machine maintenance or for recording production and performance data, the iSeries offers a range of possibilities to connect Industry 4.0 and dry ice production. All iSeries models are equipped with the latest remote maintenance technology and thus offer a variety of services in the areas of remote access, remote data and remote management.

The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P55i is one of the most powerful dry ice machines from ASCO's iSeries line. Having a production capacity of 550 kg/h (1'212 lb/h) it meets the demands for high dry ice quantities plus quality and flexibility in the daily working process. As a model of ASCO's iSeries, it is equipped with stateoftheart remote control devices and thus is ready for a wide range of services in the areas of Remote Access, Remote Data, Remote Management. Be it for fast and efficient trouble shooting and maintenance or for gathering production and performance data the ASCO iSeries offers a wide range of possibilities to link Industry 4.0 with dry ice production. The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P55i is driven by two powerful hydraulic units, which are running independently by the push of a button. This allows the production of identical or different pellet sizes in combination with the offered extruder plates at the same time.

The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P28i is a compact and powerful dry ice machine from our iSeries line. Having a production capacity of 280 kg/h (617 lb/h) it meets the demands for higher dry ice quantities plus quality and flexibility in the daily working process. As a model of ASCO's iSeries, it is equipped with stateoftheart remote control devices and thus is ready for a wide range of services in the areas of Remote Access, Remote Data, Remote Management. Be it for fast and efficient trouble shooting and maintenance or for gathering production and performance data the ASCO iSeries offers a wide range of possibilities to link Industry 4.0 with dry ice production. The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P28i is driven by a powerful hydraulic unit featuring instant push button start. All functions are controlled by a Siemens PLC with touch screen.

The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P15(i) is a compact and powerful dry ice machine from our iSeries line. Having a production capacity of 150 kg/h (331 lb/h) it meets the demands for higher dry ice quantities plus quality and flexibility in the daily working process. As an optional model of ASCO's iSeries, it can be equipped with stateoftheart remote control devices and thus is ready for a wide range of services in the areas of Remote Access, Remote Data, Remote Management. Whether for fast and efficient trouble shooting and maintenance or for gathering production and performance data the ASCO iSeries offers a wide range of possibilities to link Industry 4.0 with dry ice production. The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P15(i) is driven by a powerful hydraulic unit featuring instant push button start. All functions are controlled by a Siemens PLC with touch screen.

The Nivector FTI26 is a cost-efficient point level switch for solids in the food industry and powder applications in all industries. The capacitance device convinces with the best build-up performance in class and a high sensitivity. All industry compliant certificates are available. In addition, the FTI26 is industry 4.0 ready with IO-Link communication.

These days, everyone's talking about Industry 4.0. Are we facing something unknown or unheard-of? In actual fact, the technologies involved in Industry 4.0 are well-known; the concepts are visionary but not new. Much ado about nothing? Interconnecting physical objects with the virtual world using modern technology produces new working methods and business models that, set against current trends, are more evolutionary than revolutionary. The momentum surrounding Industry 4.0, however, should not be underestimated. Equipping components and machinery with sensors and software makes it possible to acquire field data automatically. Interconnection means this data can be retrieved in near real-time and collated at a central point. What could previously be seen directly at the components and machinery on the shop floor can now be visualised and monitored using software on a single platform. The result is maximum transparency. All data is provided at application level, making it easy to...
