We are shaping the future of the industrial production of composite components.

Process digitization for maximum quality and efficiency.

ALPEX Process Data Solutions was developed as a supplement to our tooling systems and offers a comprehensive, customized technical platform for data-based process control that is perfectly matched to our tooling systems.

All process-relevant data are recorded and processed in real time based on the process sensors integrated in the tooling system and the tooling status sensors in our ALPEX components.

In close cooperation with our customers, we create a systematic database that ensures consistent component quality and optimized production processes.

COLLECTION

Our tooling systems are enhanced by equipment that enables the collection and combination of signals from all process and tool sensors.

The temporal synchronization and individual sampling of the recorded signals in particular create the basis for resource-saving data storage and efficient further processing of the relevant parameters.

VISUALIZATION

All collected tool-specific parameters and process-relevant data are visualized in real time and shown on a display.

The display of the data and the selection of the output hardware can be configured according to customer requirements.

INTERPRETATION

The visualized real-time data are monitored within action corridors and standard values – derived from past production cycles – in a customer-specific cockpit. This feature enables our customers to track the long-term effects of individual process and tool parameters within our empirical values.

In this way, we make our 25 years of experience in toolmaking and process development systematically available to our customers.

INDIVIDUAL CONFIGURATION

The sensors in the tooling system as well as the data collection, visualization and interpretation are individually configured for the tooling system according to customer requirements. This results in a customer-specific full integration of data-based process control and optimization, which offers numerous new possibilities in terms of component quality and cost-effectiveness.

NO DEPENDENCIES OR WORKAROUNDS

Any hardware and software from ALPEX Process Data Solutions can be implemented and operated as a supplement to the tooling system and the entire production plant. Possible interfaces to peripheral equipment such as presses, injection units, heating, hydraulics or similar remain unchanged.
