The revolutionary line concept

Our new digital automation architecture enables highly efficient individual machines to be networked together in a line to generate the greatest possible automation: from preform in-house manufacturing through the high-speed bottling of still water with the ErgoBloc L to the autonomous supply of materials and intelligent packaging systems – always with a close eye on production.

To digitally network existing machines or an existing line, the Connect and Secure service agreement is required. In combination with the Krones Operating Platform, the machine’s integrated operating, control and communication system, it creates the foundation for secure access to the digital production world. That makes the existing line part of the digital world of Krones – visible, networked and able to be maintained remotely. With the Krones.world(opens external link in a new tab) platform created, both customers and Krones have access to relevant production data at all times. The combination of digital tools, expertise and partnership-based cooperation makes it possible to reliably and securely achieve jointly defined performance promises.

An alliance stands for a partnership between individuals and/or organisations who pursue a common goal and both contribute to achieving this goal. The basis: Trust, reliability, and responsibility. With the Lifecycle Alliance for Ingeniq, Krones is entering precisely such a partnership with the customer. The goal: To achieve the agreed line efficiency together.
