DIGITAL MANUFACTURING

Here+ is the new digital suite designed to transform every plant into a connected, efficient, responsive smart factory. Easy to use, modular and scalable, Here+ solutions are ready to go right from the initial installation, providing essential functions and ready-to-use content.

The suite consists of functional packages that can be combined together and selected to match operational and strategic requirements. 

Digitalization of production is immediate, with automated processes, web technologies optimized for tablets and smartphones, and paperless management taking the plant towards Industry 4.0.

SMART GATE

Here+ Smart Gate: the intelligent digitalization of ceramic production

Here+ Smart Gate is based on a network of intelligent devices - ‘Smart Gates’ - located at key points in the ceramic plant, from forming to sorting. These devices collect, automatically and consistently, key plant productivity data at every stage of production.

As an alternative to Smart Gate devices, other Italvision inspection systems can also be installed: in addition to productivity data, this provides the quality data gathered by these machines.

THE ADVANTAGES OF Here+ SMART GATE

1

Reliable, consistent key data

Thanks to automatic detection of productivity data, the system performs accurate, consistent collection of information on plant performance. There’s no longer any need to manually update machines or worry about complex connections: information management is streamlined, allowing workers to focus on core production tasks.
2

Adaptability

This solution merges with existing factory processes and tools without changing the way operators work and without introducing elements that might hinder continuity of production. The devices can also be reused in the event of changes to/replacement of production lines, ensuring maximum flexibility.
3

Operational continuity

Supervision remains active even in the event of updates or changes to the machines, ensuring continuity of production and control that is independent of the machines.
4

Modularity and scalability

The solution is modular and expandable and can thus be integrated with other software packages over time.
5

Simplified maintenance

Fewer technical variables make maintenance simpler and less costly, streamlining management over time.
6

Ready to use but can also be integrated with other solutions

The Here+ Smart Gate solution offers ready-to-use functionality and data displays, but can also be integrated with other software in the plant, thus ensuring that all the key productivity data required for effective, reliable production line monitoring is available in one place.

They’ve chosen Here+

What we most appreciate about HERE is its true added value - its practicality. Firstly, it provides ‘big data’, interfacing it across multiple machines. This lets us calculate industrial costs more precisely, a crucial factor in running a modern ceramic factory. SACMI HERE immediately looked like the perfect partner as it was designed around the complexity and needs of the ceramic process.

Filippo Manuzzi

Managing Director at Ceramiche Sant'Agostino

The growing complexity of production lines and the need to monitor them continuously led us to seek a system that would give us control over production in its entirety. We chose HERE because we wanted both a software partner and an industrial one who knew all about ceramic plant engineering. HERE gives us a clear overview of the production plant. Moreover, a step by step approach meant we could deploy it to maximum effect..
