chine parameters, a guided setup sys- tems, and dynamic optimization. In addi- tion, thermoforming systems can connect to local networks and databases to query production-related data. ILLIG Assist com- plements these digital systems and helps the machine operator as a learning com- ponent to cope with occurring events in the daily workflow. In the past, compa- nies relied on notes and the ”tribal knowledge” of experienced individuals. The new application simplifies knowledge transfer through a clear and interac- tive graphic user interface. Creation of a knowledge database Messages from both connected ma- chines and machine operators them- selves are recorded and displayed chronologically. The system automa- tically provides a visual localization of events and offers detailed sugge- stions based on a solution database, initially populated by ILLIG’s deep global expertise. Furthermore, ope- rators can actively contribute their own suggestions and enrich them with videos and images. An integra- ted comment function allows users to comment on and evaluate propo- sed solutions. Users can also view and manage shift reports, mainten- ance information, and digital manu- als. This approach serves to build up a permanent knowledge database, prevents the loss of knowledge due to the departure of experienced ma- chine operators, and accelerates trai- ning for new employees. IIoT platform as a basis for connectivity ILLIG Assist is based on the IIoT plat- form ADAMOS and is expandable through a modular architecture of microservices that enable connecti- ons to external systems. Events re- ported to ILLIG Assist can be display- ed using any internet-enabled com- munication terminal and operators can be remotely informed. Event no- tifications are made by the operator or, in future versions, directly by the machine in the case of networked machines connected to the IIoT plat- form. Messages are automatically made available to other approved users inside the organization.
