84 Extrusion International 5/2022 MEASURING AND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY correctly processed to support decisions and make process- es even more efficient is enormous. Having the right equip - ment for data management becomes essential. MOWIS is the software platform developed by Moretto to supervise and manage the entire production process. A modular and self-configurable tool, usable on-site or remotely, which through the OPC UA protocol creates total connectivity among machines, processes, departments and plants and makes the management of complex systems easy. The service that makes the difference Service, in Moretto business strategy, represents a real commitment to customers. A strategic phase to which the company dedicates high attention, optimizing the equip- ment use and performance involving specialized and con- stantly trained technical personnel. Moretto supports cus- tomers in every aspect related to the products management and technological content. A service guaranteed worldwide according to 4.0 principles and reachable with a click. Auto- matic warehouses, software and online platforms facilitate remote assistance, real-time monitoring of activities and the provision of timely interventions in case of need. Also a digital “identity card” is available for each ma - chine. By scanning a QR code, it makes available a detailed informative sheet. Important information for the operator that allows him to make the best use of the instrument, or- der any spare parts in real time, find answers to any opera - tional doubts through the dedicated FAQ section. Technology, sustainability and connectivity will charac- terize the new Moretto products that will be exposed at the K fair next October as the new dosing and feeding so - lutions for micro molding and small productions available also for use in the clean room. Thanks to their compactness they can be installed stand alone or on the IMM. Among the solutions dedicated to recycling, Moretto will present the new granulators of the GMK series which ensure uni- form and constant granulation minimizing the dust forma- tion. The small size structure allows it to be placed next to the processing machine, thus optimizing production spac- es. The implementation of more compact solutions then permit to increase production by reducing energy con- sumption and noise pollution. Among the novelties also the volumetric doser DVM8 which ensures the maximum perfection of microdosing. This is a small preview of what will be exhibited at the Moretto stand at K 2022.
