Erhardt+Leimer launches wireless management system

‘All of the necessary devices in the network, i.e. sensors, controllers and actuators, are now networked via Ethernet,’ said Dirk Schröder, sales division manager at Erhardt+Leimer. ‘No external tools or operating units are required any more for commissioning and operation. Instead, all that is needed is an internet browser on a smartphone, tablet PC or other terminal. This means that operators now have wireless access from any location to the graphical user interface of the device in question, so they are no longer tied to the physical location of the machine.’

Production management and quality assurance can now access all of the required information at any time and from anywhere in the world via a web browser, allowing them to view production data quickly and easily in real-time.

The Erhardt+Leimer supplies sensor systems and open/closed loop control systems for production machinery automation in the fields of textiles, paper, printing, foils, corrugated board, tires and rubber, as well as nonwovens and packaging.
