Boosting efficiency through digitalization—almost no branch of industry can evade it. Also, operators of press shops are increasingly networking their production. But regardless of whether it’s a single press or press lines, it’s not always necessary to replace the entire plant in order to stay up to date.

Retrofitting existing lines, true to the principle of “sensible evolution instead of cost-intensive revolution,” is often the order of the day. With Visual Die Protection, Schuler Pressen from Göppingen offers a solution for avoiding expensive die damage and its consequential costs in stamping and forming technology—retrofittable for existing lines. Equipped with industrial cameras from IDS Imaging Development Systems and intelligent software, the production process can be monitored as required.
