Dassault Systèmes launches Connected Factory to enhance technology adoption in Indian manufacturing

Key Highlight: Dassault Systèmes: Recent Milestones ∞ The company achieved a landmark of over 10,000 customers in India in its journey to digitalize the manufacturing sector in India ∞ The campaign is a technology showcase of a fully-functional factory assembly line mounted on a vehicle ∞ The campaign showcases transformational experiences on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that addresses future trends in manufacturing Dassault Systèmes recently launched the Connected Factory campaign in Pune

Dassault Systèmes launched the 3DEXPERIENCE On Wheels - Connected Factory campaign in Pune in May 2019. This is the second direct customer outreach campaign this year with the ongoing Connected Value Network campaign that is focused on the supplier ecosystem in manufacturing. The 3DEXPERIENCE on Wheels- Connected Factory is a technology showcase of a fully-functional factory assembly line mounted on a vehicle that showcase transformational experiences for a smart and connected factory of the future. 3DEXPERIENCE On Wheels- Connected Factory campaign will tour at various manufacturing hubs, industrial corridors, start-up incubators, and academic institutes.

Samson Khaou, Managing Director, India, Dassault Systèmes said “India aims at becoming one of the key manufacturing destination by 2020. To achieve this ambition, manufacturers must be more integrated and more agile than ever. We at Dassault Systèmes have the vision and strategy in Industry Renaissance and with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we are a game-changer, leveraging our capacity to help manufacturers in India to reinvent themselves.” The campaign breaks the barrier to show the integration between the virtual and the real through a set of experiences for Manufacturing Operations Management, 3DEXPERIENCE Twin, Advanced Planning & Scheduling, Lean Management and Analytics.While Lean Management showcases how digital technologies can empower a strong collaboration between operational teams in the plant Manufacturing Operations Management, Advanced Planning & Scheduling and Analytics demonstrate the benefits that real-time production monitoring with digitally connected equipment and tracking of key performance metrics are bringing to make right decisions for an agile & efficient shop-floor.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Twin highlights the value of connecting virtual world with real-time data to introspect, improve and analyze multiple production options in order to improve the productivity.

For longer chain service life: Re-lubricate – and prevent wear

iwis antriebssysteme, the Munich-based supplier of precision chain systems, shares valuable tips on the correct use of lubricants

The right relubrication for extended chain life

Key Highlight: iwis antriebssysteme produces precision roller and conveyor chains for industrial applications in the field of general machine engineering, plant engineering, the packaging, printing and food industries and conveyor technology.

For a chain to have a long service life without wear-related loss of performance, it needs to be serviced and lubricated regularly. Maintenance and lubrication intervals should be strictly adhered to: about two thirds of all chain failures can be prevented by suitable relubrication, so selecting the right (re)lubricant is the most important factor in guaranteeing a long service for the chain, since the individual links of a chain act as bearings while the constantly oscillating chain is in operation. Inadequate lubrication and additional contamination can cause a reduction of chain performance to as little as 20% of its full potential, thereby reducing service life more than any other influencing factors.

iwis antriebssysteme produces precision roller and conveyor chains for industrial applications in the field of general machine engineering, plant engineering, the packaging, printing and food industries and conveyor technology. In recent years, the recognized chain specialist has conducted intensive research into solutions that prolong chain service life, as well as developing its own range of lubricants. On the solid basis of countless trials on specially designed test apparatus and close cooperation with reputable lubricant manufacturers, iwis is a reliable expert partner for all aspects of chain lubrication. A combination of a suitable lubricant and the appropriate lubrication process ensures a measurable reduction of wear and additional corrosion protection.

iwis antriebssysteme and its engineers are at your service with help and advice on chain maintenance and lubrication, which contains checklists with possible warning signs, tips on optimum lubricant dosage, preparing chains for lubrication, applying lubricants and selecting the ideal lubrication point, and recommendations for the right lubricant – depending on the respective application and chain type used. The choice of initial lubricant is equally important and is taken into consideration accordingly. The iwis flyer also gives maintenance staff, for example, valuable hints for their day-to-day work – in a compact, well-organized form.

Furthermore, iwis offers solutions for applications that do not permit re-lubrication. The bushes of maintenance-free JWIS MEGAlife chains are made from sintered material, so the lubricant is retained in the chain joint long-term. Chains stay dry on the outside, but the joint is always well lubricated – and JWIS b.dry stainless steel chains require no lubricant whatsoever.

The Munich-based chain manufacturer iwis offers a wide range of products for all drive and conveyor technology applications. The comprehensive product portfolio includes precision and high-performance roller chains, conveyor chains, maintenance-free and corrosion-proof chains, accumulation chains, conveyor chains for special applications, leaf chains, flat-top chains and modular belts for industrial applications, chains and accessories for agricultural machinery, and timing chain drive systems for the automotive industry.
