Known as combiLink, the new solution was developed to address the challenges associated with multiple reporting systems, obsolete data, manual data collection and a lack of filling line insights.

SIG’s combiLink connects filling line machines to collect data in customised reports outlining operational and technical efficiency. Customers can also track downtime incidents from their desktops, tablets or smartphones, which helps avoid bottlenecks and downtime.

“It is a smart factory solution that offers a completely new way of monitoring and analysing the efficiency and productivity of a filling line.”

SIG’s automation and digitalisation senior product manager Ayed Katrangi said: “56% of companies intend to increase efficiency by more than 20% over the next five years. combiLink can make a decisive contribution to this.

“It is a smart factory solution that offers a completely new way of monitoring and analysing the efficiency and productivity of a filling line, enabling customers to take on-time decisions fast and to automate operations to meet the needs of Industry 4.0, improve filling line overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and optimises total cost of ownership (TCO), based on ISO 2240 standards.”
