Goebel IMS opens innovation and application center in Italy

‘Our focus is not to sell machines but to support our customers during every step of the process: from the project idea, the machine outline and specification, to the development and the final implementation,’ said the company’s Luca Moreschi.

‘With MyLab, we have created an innovation incubator that offers our customers a portfolio of services with innovative additional value. Initial feedback from our first MyLab customers are extremely positive and we are looking forward to a full reservation book.’

At the heart of MyLab are machine demonstrations. Producers and converters can experience extensive performance, endurance and versatility tests of the latest equipment. The machine program at customers’ disposal includes slitting and winding systems for foil, paper, aseptic packaging, cigarette papers and alufoil.

The slitter rewinders operating at MyLab change regularly in order to cater to clients’ needs. Among the currently exhibited slitter rewinders are the Rapid D1, a high-precision slitter rewinder for paper, board and other materials, and the XtraSlit 2, a slitting and winding system for converting film and paper. In addition, customers can experience the multi-purpose slitter rewinder for thin and delicate materials RU 1 as well as the T 2, aimed at the paper and converting industries.

At MyLab, a team of engineers and technicians identifies with the customer their individual needs and specifications. Extensive machine presentations and tests are carried out to find the most suitable machine for the application, including specifications for slitting systems, loading and unloading units, robotics, auxiliary equipment as well as electronic and mechanical components. Once the machine design is determined, machine and system tests are carried out analyzing both performance and material output.

During the manufacturing process, Goebel IMS’ customers receive access to MyLab which allows non-stop monitoring of production progress.

Practical training and seminars, on maintenance or retrofitting, taking place in Goebel IMS’ modern meeting space, round off the MyLab services. The MyLab Academy is open to external participants, including employees of customers, and offers joint seminars with customers, suppliers and Goebel IMS representatives.
