OMET boosts productivity in tissue industry with innovative converting line

Omet, manufacturer of multi-process printing presses and tissue converting machines, has made significant advances in the overall optimization of the production process, promoting technological efficiency and innovation to improve the benefits offered to customers. 

To ensure long-term sustainability and maintain a lasting competitive advantage, OMET understands the crucial importance of not just optimizing individual solutions but also considering the entire production process as an integrated system. 

The revolutionary OMET XV Line, the result of meticulous technological research and innovative patented operating principles, represents a leap forward in optimizing production capacity and the efficiency of the conversion process. This machine not only boosts productivity but also streamlines workflow by eliminating the need for a slitter to cut rolls into narrow widths, significantly simplifying the workflow. 

Thanks to its exceptional modularity, the XV Line can be tailored to the specific production needs of each customer, offering an unparalleled competitive advantage in the industry. 

OMET, renowned for producing mechanical folding units, has introduced innovative mechanical technology on its wide-web machines. This new approach not only guarantees superior quality and speed on its lines but also contributes to making the production process more sustainable. The adoption of mechanical solutions not only helps reduce energy consumption but also demonstrates OMET’s commitment to eco-sustainable production practices.  

The XV Line embodies all the essential elements sought by users in the industry, offering high product quality, ease of use, and easy maintenance. With its extraordinary production capacity, the XV Line can generate an extra volume of napkins, reaching a production rate of 25,000 pieces per minute. OMET has included in this line all the control technologies developed in recent years, including vision systems and automatic register controls, to ensure flawless performance and optimal management of the production process. 

Digitalization has also played a fundamental role in process optimization. In this context, OMET has introduced SFERA, an Industrial AIoT (Artificial Intelligence Internet of Things) platform developed for managing and monitoring its machines and production lines. Integrable across all OMET lines, Sfera offers a comprehensive range of features, such as efficiency analysis, bottleneck identification, process telemetry, energy consumption monitoring, and preventive and predictive maintenance. The raw data produced by the machines are transformed into valuable insights through Sfera, offering a strategic advantage to end customers. This platform thus becomes the key to optimizing the production process and maximizing overall productivity. 

Sfera offers a series of benefits that revolutionize the way companies manage their operations. Through this platform, users can compare actual production with the ideal one, identify potential causes of inefficiency, and provide targeted solutions to improve performance. Thanks to integrated artificial intelligence, Sfera can automatically recognize and prevent abnormal machine behavior, ensuring optimal operation and minimizing downtime. Additionally, it offers advanced tools to analyze consumption trends and assess the impact of various cost factors on production, allowing companies to optimize their financial operations. Finally, Sfera supports corporate sustainability goals, enabling companies to increase revenues and margins by producing more efficiently and responsibly from an environmental standpoint. 

The OMET XV Line, enhanced by the integration of the Sfera platform, offers an intelligent production solution. This combination allows customers to achieve high-quality products more efficiently, ensuring a competitive advantage in the market.
