at the optima nonwovens stand, customers can follow the production applications of the latest virtual and technological developments in packaging engineering. fields of application range from the virtual display of moving machine functions to interactive operating instructions and spare parts catalogues, as well as condition monitoring. today, engineering in the project planning phase already benefits from virtual commissioning. the optima condition monitoring system omcs has advantages for production. by means of sensor systems in the machines any imminent defects can be detected in advance and thus unplanned shutdowns are avoided. the tcam total care asset management from optima goes one stage further the evaluation of data and connection to the service network, together with the virtual spare parts catalogue, lead to overall equipment effectiveness oee at an even higher level. no less innovative is the transport system optima srs. it links linear transport with the principle of magnetic levitation and provides a number of different benefits. cartridges containing the lined up nonwovens products can be discharged from the previously closed system. this enables, for example, the distribution of the product stacks to different packaging machines, the interlinking of machines or also the discharge to quality control. apart from this new flexibility, the system enables increased performance, in particular for small package sizes as well as more careful product handling. the transport system is placed in an optima machine cladding with red dot accreditation. major advantages here are the high level of soundproofing, a design without edges and corners, and clear view of the machine status. amotek and gevasthe international optima subsidiaries amotek italy, sierem france and gevas usa brazil are represented at index 2014 with two stands in their own name. the amotek is202, on display, processes prepacked flat or folded panty liners and sanitary towels. the products are counted, stacked in single or double rows and repacked for sale. the robust and flexible line needs almost no format parts and has an output of up to 90 packsmin. the gevas eco bundler gbw8 is an integral part of an extensive range of machines for the primary and secondary packaging of paper hygiene products in the lower and medium performance range. index 2014, 8.11.04.2014, in genevaoptima nonwovens hall 2, stand no. 2581amotek hall 2, stand no. 2679gevas hall 4, stand no. 4060
