Hugo Beck | Sustainable paper packaging solution

The paper e-com fit e-commerce packaging solution was upgraded to the latest generation Technology CPU and WinCC Unified in terms of control and HMI and prepared for Industrial Edge. In addition, various machine functions and processes were simulated to optimize the overall solution. The control cabinet was built in the Siemens factory in Chemnitz.
