Fascinating opportunities of digitization - future projects

KRAUSE works intensively on Industry 4.0 or Internet of Things solutions to utilize the fascinating chances of digitalisation as added value for us and our customers. As a CTP specialist KRAUSE has set early on digitalisation and additive manufacturing.

Industry 4.0 technologies which are consequently used in the KRAUSE machines

  • Digital design of the KRAUSE systems in modern CAD systems
  • Multifunctional 3D printing components simplify operation and streamline processes  
  • Software with open interfaces for better integration and control of digital components improves the functionality of the systems and their degree of automation
  • Sensor data is collected and communicated and allows better control and monitoring of the devices
  • Assistance systems, such as app operation, built-in cameras or the RemoteMessaging system support the operator in certain situations when using the system
  • In the KRAUSE machine and service Cloud data is collected and provided. It can be provided as backup or used with artificial intelligence to evaluate large, complex and unstructured data volumes for condition monitoring and reporting to the customer, so that disturbances on our platesetters do not occur at all and customers get a precise cause finding immediately in case of a problem.    
  • KRAUSE SmartService offers remote support up to Augmented Reality solutions for our machines, with which our service technicians can guide our customers' technicians all over the world to solve problems.
  • So we achieve shorter reaction times and significant cost reductions for our customers. In the future we want to expand and share this know-how with other machine manufacturers.
