RNA receives first order for digital feeding system
24.03.2021
Shortly after the successful takeover of Hofmann & Stirner Zuführsysteme GmbH, which now operates under the new name of RNA Digital Solutions GmbH, we received our first digital order. The early proof of concept gave the customer the decisive advantage, since the part to be fed was not yet physically available for testing. Using simulation software and artificial intelligence developed by RNA Digital Solutions, we were able to give confirmation to our customer about the feasibility of their part and associated feeding solution directly and in real time. All that was needed was a 3D model of the part to be fed.
First IoT ConnectBoxes installed in demo factory at RWTH Aachen University
11.03.2021
Retrofitting at its best! In the demo factory of RWTH Aachen University, we were able to digitize three existing production units. A wide range of sensors were installed in order to pick up the required data via the IoT ConnectBox and transfer it to our IoT platform. Furthermore, the data is integrated into the demo factory’s ERP system with the help of interface programming.
Centrifugal feeders BaseType Z
06.03.2021
Our feeding system BaseType Z is based on a centrifugal feeder, which was integrated in the complete machine. Through the standardization of additional components, we were able to further optimize the system and meet our customer's requirement of approx. 400 correctly oriented lids per minute. Due to the size of the parts, with a diameter of 70 mm, we used a feeding system from the BaseType Z product range.
