Based on the knowledge of the injection moulding machine and experience in application technology of ENGEL's application engineers, the newly developed ENGEL performance.boost sees ENGEL offer its customers the punch-packing expertise as a service for process analysis and optimization.

ENGEL performance.boost starts with an in-depth analysis of the running production process by ENGEL specialists. They record the process settings and the pertinent efficiency and quality performance indicators to identify the existing optimization potential.

While doing so, they take into account the improvements offered by, for example, smart assistance systems, condition monitoring solutions or other products from ENGEL's inject 4.0 portfolio.

With its expert knowledge, ENGEL identifies process optimization potential and provides user support during their implementation.

Based on these results, the customer decides which optimization steps they would like to implement with the support of ENGEL application technology. Users benefit from ENGEL's high level of expertise in systems solutions. The automation solution, the peripheral units and the upstream and downstream processes integrated into the production process can be evaluated in the scope of process analysis and taken into account in the optimization recommendations.

e-connect.24, the ENGEL solution for online support and remote maintenance, makes it possible to transfer screens from the machine control unit to an external computer via a secure remote connection in real time, allowing virtual collaboration at the customer's request.

“Process analysis and optimization have never been so efficient,” stressed Harald Wegerer, Vice President of ENGEL's Customer Service Division. “Thanks to e-connect.24, even travel time and costs can be saved in many cases.”

Digital solutions are playing an increasingly important role at all levels of the product life cycle. ENGEL is already helping its customers to leverage efficiency and quality potential along the entire value stream with numerous established and proven products and services from its inject 4.0 portfolio.
