STOLL launches another innovation package with a focus on the machine's software

Operator interface with more functions

With a special feature of the new, now third STOLL innovation package, the functionality of the user interface can be expanded. The goal of the expansion is more digitization and less paper in processes around the machine. For example, documents for viewing, such as customer documents, images and videos, can be loaded onto the machine display via access to external information systems. In addition, digital maintenance plans (Fig. 2) and comprehensive activity descriptions are displayed on the operator interface to help with maintenance work. Downloading to the screen instead of printing on paper saves time and resources, increases clarity and ensures secure access to important information.

Machine management with more efficiency

Another solution from the new innovation package optimizes communication between networked machines in production. Specifically, more content can be exchanged during data import and export, e.g. in the course of a pattern change, thus, reducing the set-up times of the machines. New articles can be introduced to the market faster and with less effort.

Another upgrade concerns the screen saver, which can now be designed individually on each machine.

Production of technical textiles with more patterning and automation possibilities

Customers from the technical textiles sector benefit from a convenient full-text sintral editor that allows them to make changes in the machine language extremely effectively. Modifications to patterns for special applications can also be implemented more easily than before. The basis for this is a separate instead of bundled loading, saving and visualization of the three program parts Sintral, Jacquard and Setup, which are required for converting pattern data into machine data. This unbundling makes significantly more flexibility possible.
