MAPLAN machines are known for their fundamental consistency, their user-friendly interface design and the versatility of their settings to configure and simplify the production process. The latest version of the intuitive touchscreen interface between user and machine boasts a 30 percent faster touch response time compared to
its predecessor. With only one basic control and operation method, all MAPLAN models can be operated in the same way. The MAP.commander functions as the central unit: no matter the upgrade level – from the smallest and simplest machine to the high-end system with full automation.

The advantages of networking and digitisation speak for themselves. Industry 4.0, which is sadly often only used as a buzzword, promises real advantages when it comes to production, planning, control and maintenance. In order to take full advantage of these benefi ts, MAPLAN production cells and machines can be connected to server systems to deliver production data to MES systems.
