Project description
Bizerba is the market leader in weighing and cutting technology in the trade and craft sectors and is one of the world's leading specialists in the field of industrial weighing and marking technology. M&M and Bizerba have developed the "Bizerba Cloud Platform" based on the Microsoft Azure Cloud For the improved and simpler monitoring of the weighing and labelling systems used primarily in the food industry, Based on the operating data and sensor data recorded on-site for each machine, the Bizerba Cloud generates a virtual data image, ie a digital twin, of the system. The recorded data is analyzed and the possible result "predicted", i. e. future failures of individual components are detected early and the system reports them independently. This enables the service team to solve problems, e.g. caused by wear, before the machine fails. Long downtimes due to unplanned repairs are a thing of the past.
End customer benefits
- Easy processing of service and spare parts orders through the central cloud platform
- Reduction of downtime costs by minimizing unscheduled shutdowns
- Current status and important information are available constantly and worldwide
