The next generation of extruder control
A major aspect of networking and digitalisation, the development of OS5 is a critical step towards optimising processes.
It is based on Siemens hardware and combines state-of-the-art methods of robust automation with innovative interfaces of digitalisation and Industry 4.0.
The intuitive system offers impressive functions including the extruder control with line capabilities, diagram functions, recipe management, automatic start-up and intelligently connects to NEXXT365 thanks to Euromap 84. The result: effective networking of individual machines and systems as well as faster, flexible processes in industrial production.
