The Gerhard Schubert GmbH is looking back on a successful trade fair presence at the Anuga FoodTec 2018 in Cologne. The new digital platform Grips.world, which will significantly improve service and system availability, attracted the interest of many visitors. Especially the safe transfer of machine data with the industrial gateway GS.Gate, and the resulting reduction of unplanned interruptions stroked a chord with current demands.

Beginning in May 2018, all TLM machines from Schubert will be ready to connect to the digital platform upon customer request. In the mid-term, it will open up new opportunities for preventive maintenance and communication with customers.

With Grips.world, customers will soon be able to access TLM system production data from anywhere worldwide. Data sovereignty lies entirely with the customer. If an intervention by a Schubert service technician is required, remote maintenance can be activated by the customer. With the data collected, potential problems can be identified at an early stage, thus avoiding downtime and unplanned service calls.
