Schuler’s live demo reveals immediate return on investment from VDP’s capability to detect foreign objects, inspect processes and monitor die functions. A live demo of Schuler Connect showcases remote service and troubleshooting support via smart glasses, smart phone or tablet. And, Machine Applications demonstrates digital press-shop planning practices that provide predictive maintenance to avoid efficiency losses and damage risks.
