Achenbach – Digital Aluminium Milling

Achenbach Buschhütten, a leading manufacturer of aluminium rolling mill technology, set out to deliver more value beyond machine delivery. Together with SOTEC, we set up OPTILINK – a cloud-based platform that turns machine data into actionable insights. scitis.io ensures smooth and reliable operation of the platform, helping Achenbach enable smarter processes, remote monitoring, and new service-driven business models.

The Challenge

In order to ensure customer satisfaction even after a machine has been delivered, Achenbach needs to improve the insight into the operation of their products.

The Solution

scitis helped Achenbach set up OPTILINK – a cloud platform that continuously collects live data from the production line. It delivers insights into process efficiency and detects potential interruptions.

The Result

OPTILINK now allows Achenbach to remotely monitor and maintain their delivered machines – eventually providing their customers with a knowledge base for process optimization and helping them to reach their product goals.
