      Our solutions

      Always keeping an eye on the specific benefit

      Challenges and optimisation potentials of our customers are the motivation of all Krones solutions. No matter where you want to start in your production - we know the levers with which we can get even more out of your line. So you will quickly see particular improvements or savings from our digital services. 

      Always keeping an eye on the specific benefit
      Downtimes
      • Lack of raw materials
      • Unplanned machine downtimes
      • Planned downtimes last longer than expected
      • The actual cause is hard to find
      • Critical information is hard to detect and often noted too late
      Go to digital solutions

      Downtimes

      Always keeping an eye on the specific benefit
      Waste
      • Poor production planning results in raw materials and already produced products being wasted 
      • Waste of consumable material due to small batches
      • Frequent change-over causes wastage
      • Quality problems lead to already produced products being wasted
      Go to digital solutions

      Waste

      Always keeping an eye on the specific benefit
      Maintenance planning
      • Planned downtimes are simultaneously used for regular maintenance tasks
      • Parts are replaced even though they are still fully functional
      • High storage costs through the provision of spare parts
      • Unplanned downtimes due to neglected maintenance work
      Go to digital solutions

      Maintenance planning

      Always keeping an eye on the specific benefit
      Production parameters
      • Different products require different settings
      • Machines are operated at reduced speed to avoid downtimes
      • Manual optimisation requires qualified personnel and tests
      • Adjustments must be synchronised separately on all machines
      Go to digital solutions

      Production parameters

      Always keeping an eye on the specific benefit
      Employee training and knowledge
      • Mistakes during machine operation
      • Fluctuation leads to a loss of know-how and high amount of training
      • Employees are not always at the right place to be able to react quickly to problems in the line
      • Operators must take care of multiple machines at the same time
      • Knowledge is widely scattered and not put into the right context
      Go to digital solutions

      Employee training and knowledge

      Always keeping an eye on the specific benefit
      Change-overs
      • Many interventions on multiple machines by many operators
      • Manual activities are prone to error, lead to deviations and scarcely plannable change-over times
      • Individual machines are often not adjusted in line with one another which then leads to longer downtimes and more wastage
      • Making adjustments to the machine and changing handling parts require experience and training
      • The non-existence of universal guidelines lead to the incorrect prioritisation of tasks
      Go to digital solutions

      Change-overs

      Always keeping an eye on the concrete benefit
      Consumption
      • Sustainability requires a reduction in the consumption of processing and operating materials, e.g. air, energy, water
      • Rising prices for processing and operating materials lead to a drop in profitability
      • Raw material wastage must be counteracted
      • Unnecessary waste and reworking must be avoided
      • Machines are in operation even though they are currently not being used
      Go to digital solutions

      Consumption

      Always keeping an eye on the specific benefit
      Material management
      • Poor material quality leads to problems with the machinery
      • Manual tasks such as sorting, emptying or refilling require human intervention and are prone to errors
      • Safety stocks create high storage costs
      • Complex production with small batch sizes is hard to handle

      Perfect, because newer lines are equipped with the Edge Device ReadyKit as standard. This means they have the required interfaces to collect and use all data in a standardised way.

      No problem - although your systems are not yet equipped with an edge device, it can be retrofitted if necessary. By the way, the same also applies to lines from other suppliers. To check this in detail, simply make an appointment with your Krones contact or use the contact form on our website.
