The fourth edition of B&R Innovation Day, a flagship annual conference on trendsetting automation technologies, was held at Hotel Hyatt Regency in Pune on 19 January. 

“For years, we have relied on B&R for the technological innovations we need to make our custom filling and sealing lines competitive in the international market. Their expert technical support and fast response times help us reach our goals quickly

A new visualization tool from B&R accelerates development of automation solutions featuring its SuperTrak industrial transport system. The tool displays a 3D simulation of all SuperTrak shuttle movements, as well as synchronized subsystems such as robotics and CNC.

B&R has further expanded mapp technology framework with the new mapp Tweet function, which allows a machine application to send information via text message or email. The increased intelligence boosts machine availability. Set up with just a few clicks, mapp Tweet can easily be connected to other mapp components. This enables the mapp AlarmX component, for instance, to automatically notify a maintenance technician when an alarm requires immediate action. mapp Tweet can supplement the message with additional information, such as troubleshooting instructions that allow the technician to quickly and efficiently resolve the cause of the alarm. This is an effective way to achieve a targeted reduction in machine down-time.

At this year’s interpack, B&R plans to showcase SuperTrak, a versatile, intelligent conveyor system that represents a key contribution to Packaging 4.0. This smart manufacturing revolution promises CPG producers unprecedented levels of OEE and reduced TCO.

At K 2016, to be held from 19–26 October, B&R will be demonstrating how to simplify the development of applications for injection presses, extruders and blow molding machines (Hall 12, Stand B16). Modular software blocks can reduce development times by an average of two-thirds.
