Intelligent Communication within Production
Vacuum Generators ERP Networking in production means the gradual break up of hierar-
chical information structures. An automation cloud is formed in
MES which intelligent devices and services interact with one another
and organize themselves via an IO-Link. Intelligent products
allow for communication with the user’s control systems in order
Valve Technology to adjust all process parameters for energy efficient operation.

Switches and Monitoring HMI Our Smart Field Devices Understand Industry 4.0
Vacuum generators like the SXPi/SXMPi compact ejector are
becoming central to such a cloud. With the aid of their diagnostic
and forecasting functions, they derive information regarding the
condition of the unit and detect subtle changes or imminent mal-
functions. This helps to prevent machine downtime and increase
Filters and Connections system availability.
