In the planning phase for the new powder coating plant, WAGNER Industrial Solutions launched the COATIFY information and management platform. This system exactly meets Fox Laser’s expectations for modern process monitoring. The web-based Internet of Things platform COATIFY visualizes the powder coating process intelligently and continuously. The system’s performance data can be captured at a glance on the clear user interface with descriptive diagrams and graphics. Relevant production data are easily prepared and logged, providing the user with a perfect overview of the process. The platform can be accessed via PC, tablet or smartphone and enables secure access to internal production data from anywhere. COATIFY optimally complements the components of the WAGNER powder coating system and makes the coating process even more efficient and economical. With COATIFY, service measures can be planned in good time in order to increase system availability and thus save costs. “For us, COATIFY came at just the right time. With the continuous provision of important production data on various end devices, we have the possibility to carry out an extremely reliable production monitoring. This improves process reliability and increases productivity,” says Dako Lisichkov, Managing Director at Fox Laser. Thanks to the clearly structured and graphically comprehensible system information, seamless monitoring of production is ensured at all times. Timely information on upcoming maintenance, malfunctions or deviations from individually definable limit values increase quality and system availability and thus reduce costs. The system operators at Fox Laser can also access the current operating manuals of the systems at any time via COATIFY. If a question cannot be answered on twitter: @surfaceworldmag site, the customer sends a service ticket directly to WAGNER which provides system data and running times of the components electronically. If required, WAGNER service staff can also carry out remote maintenance. “With COATIFY, we now have full control over our coating quality and can intervene immediately if a parameter changes. This transparency increases process reliability, which will also have a positive effect on cost accounting,” Dako Lisichkov is convinced. Visit: www.wagner-group.com 2020 - 2021 179
