Digital transformation

Digital transformation means modernizing and expanding machines and systems using advanced technologies. It involves the integration of digital solutions to increase efficiency, improve quality and make production more flexible. This change affects not only processes and products, but also the interaction with customers and the ability to adapt to market requirements.

AUTEFA is committed to a comprehensive digital transformation with a special focus on the development of a smart factory. This intelligent production combines classic and advanced automation, innovative solutions and lifecycle services. For our customers, this means not only more efficient processes and innovative solutions, but also end-to-end support throughout the entire lifecycle: from planning and implementation to maintenance and optimization, they benefit from customized and reliable services that sustainably improve their production processes and take them to the next level of digitalization.

Classic Automation

Classic automation uses a variety of hardware components that combine traditional and modern technologies. Classic sensors detect physical variables such as temperature, pressure, or position and convert them into analog or digital signals that are processed by programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Traditional actuators convert control signals into physical actions, such as opening a valve or driving a motor.

Smart sensors offer advanced capabilities such as built-in data processing and network connectivity. Smart actuators extend these capabilities with self-monitoring and advanced diagnostics over networks. These technologies enable incremental modernization of existing systems, helping to improve efficiency and reliability.

 

Advanced Automation

Advanced automation is the key to process optimization and quality improvement. By using advanced automation technologies, we reduce error rates and significantly increase the efficiency of production processes.

For process optimization, we use Recipe Sequence Control to optimize product changeovers and reduce waste by up to 70 percent. This not only increases profitability but also contributes to sustainability.

To improve the quality of our nonwoven production lines, we rely on line profiling with Webmax and a closed-loop system. Continuous monitoring and precise control of the entire production process ensures constant and accurate quality assurance.
