Cross-manufacturer, efficiency-enhancing, digital.
SweetConnect GmbH -
Industry 4.0 platform for the confectionery industry
The aim of the project was to jointly develop a cross-manufacturer IIoT platform for the confectionery industry and set new standards in a network of machine manufacturers and Industry 4.0 experts.
By centralizing all production-relevant data via a cross-manufacturer machine platform, processes can be monitored and optimized in SweetConnect, plant efficiency can be increased and analogue documentation can be digitized.
SweetConnect was initiated as a joint project of leading companies in the confectionery machinery industry (including Theegarten-Pactec GmbH & Co. KG, Sollich KG, Winkler und Dünnebier Süßwarenmaschinen GmbH, OKA-Spezialmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, Chocotech GmbH) and bundles the shared knowledge and expertise of the network in one platform.
"With fresh approaches, in-depth expertise and industrial sector knowledge, elunic is a valuable partner for us and has enabled us to take a big step towards smart products in a short space of time."
