To ensure maximum efficiency of both its extruders and the entire production process in the long run, masterbatch manufacturer colorplasticchemie Albert Schleberger GmbH (cpc) in Remscheid Germany has enhanced its ZSK twin screw extruders with the Coperion C-BEYOND digital platform. This system records all the operational parameters of every ZSK extruder at cpc in a cloud, available in real time for valuable analysis.
With C-BEYOND, cpc can determine the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) value of both individual ZSK extruders, as well as the entire plant, at any time. Moreover, the cpc platform provides order planning support. Current production quantity data is available in real time. With C-BEYOND, the production process can be documented in detail and maintenance work can be scheduled to best advantage. In addition, C-BEYOND calculates both energy consumption and CO2 emissions per kilogram of masterbatch produced. The data it records significantly accelerates and enhances the efficiency of remote servicing by Coperion.
