There is much to catch-up on, from innovative components to the most recent developments in smart manufacturing, which mixes both the virtual and the physical world. On the component side, there is an “MXC” 120mm extruder for Low-voltage applications, an “ECH 12/20” crosshead, Round and Topography Scanner technologies for Catenary and Vertical Continuous Vulcanization, and the new compact fibre pay-off “PM 265” to mention a few exhibits visible on the stand.

 Meanwhile, “Smart Monitoring”, “Smart Buffering”, Industry 4.0 bring forth a working mix of hardware, virtual reality and artificial intelligence into a progressive manufacturing environment. Maillefer will be providing a VR experience into a fibre cable factory with a secondary coating line that features smart technology. Its AI augmented package is designed to identify and predict process anomalies before they get out of hand.

 Since the last edition of Interwire, much has transpired in business. The manufacturing environment has changed. New tools are available. The expectations for modern infrastructure, environmentally friendly solutions, and manufacturing efficiency are driving them towards uncharted territories that hold much promise.
