• Complete production overview with LED machine status indication and video monitoring 
• Security light barriers for maximum safety

Job and Recipe Management Workflow

Connects the HMI SPHERE via the BOBST Connect platform directly to the back office, where job recipes can be managed away from the production floor. Then, the job recipes are sent to the production lines and equipments, ready to be downloaded. 

This system allows to increase uptime and proactively prepare shifts. Taking into account changes occuring during production, it ensures production consistency and continuous improvements across different shifts and operators. It also gives a real-time follow-up of the packaging production progress.

Monitoring and management

Analyse and improve your production workflow and planning with BOBST Connect. With Performance Management and Equipment Monitoring, reports provide data which give insights into productivity and output quality as well as a comprehensive production overview of all connected machines. 

Energy Monitoring allows to control the air and electricity consumption of the machine and identify eventual energy saving measures.
