About The Customer
Livetech is a leading company in the design and manufacture of robotic packaging systems for the food industry. The company is committed to building efficient, sustainable machines that meet the evolving needs of the food industry. Livetech's machines are used by food companies worldwide, and the company is known for its innovative solutions that enhance the efficiency and sustainability of food packaging processes. Livetech's commitment to innovation and sustainability is evident in its adoption of the latest EcoStruxure Machine technologies, including the Lexium MC12 multi carrier system and digital twin software.
The Challenge
Livetech, a company that designs and manufactures robotic packaging systems for the food industry, was facing several challenges. The company needed to reduce the changeover time of its machines to enable faster time-to-market for its mechatronic module machines. Additionally, Livetech was seeking ways to optimize energy consumption of its machines to make them more sustainable and efficient. The company also wanted to reduce the physical footprint of its machines without compromising their performance. These challenges required a high-performance digital solution that could enhance the efficiency and sustainability of Livetech's robotic packaging systems.
The Solution
Livetech adopted a full EcoStruxure Machine solution to address its challenges. This included the next-generation Lexium MC12 multi carrier system, an innovative transport system for moving, positioning, or grouping objects in machines for discrete processes. The solution leveraged the latest linear motion and digital twin technologies to design faster and more flexible machines with a smaller footprint. Additionally, Livetech used EcoStruxure Machine Advisor and EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisor apps, analytics, and services, along with PacDrive and Harmony Edge Box for edge control. The connected products used in the solution included P4 robots, T3 robots, motors, and drives.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of the EcoStruxure Machine solution resulted in several operational benefits for Livetech. The company was able to design faster and more flexible machines, which enabled a faster time-to-market for its mechatronic module machines. The solution also made it easier for Livetech to maintain its machines, thanks to the high-performance digital solution. Additionally, Livetech benefited from strong worldwide service and support, which ensured the smooth operation of its machines. The solution also included embedded cybersecurity, enhancing the security of Livetech's machines.
