OPHIA and the robotic panel handling systems was in the spotlight on the Biesse stand at Xylexpo, the 26th biennial global trade fair for technologies for machining wood and furniture industry components, which took place in Milan from 8 to 12 May 2018. Biesse’s latest service platform, SOPHIA, provides users with the all in one tool for improving efficiency, as well as foreseeing future issues and preventing them from occurring. The platform has the ability to send realtime information and data on the technologies in use, optimising the performance and productivity of machines and systems. The data collected enables the production process and machine functions to be analysed in detail, detecting malfunctions, assisting customers in maintenance operations, ordering replacement parts in less time and ultimately preventing faults.
The speed with which SOPHIA is being adopted in the production sector is a strong indicator of the significant benefits that customers are enjoying first hand. The evolution of the platform and constant expansion of its functions, coupled with the
significant investment planned for the next few years, demonstrate Biesse's awareness of the current and future potential of this technology. SOPHIA represents Biesse’s desire to offer their customers constant optimisation of processes in real time, and reduction in the consumption of resources. Visitors to Xylexpo were able to take a closer look at how SOPHIA revolutionises production and simplifies the work of companies every day. But that's not all. The Biesse stand also provided all those present with a demonstration of the company's ability to transform production processes, courtesy of the high performance handling solutions it offers. “The results registered over these first few months demonstrate how the services we offer our customers help increase the operating time of a machine and promote a proactive approach by reducing diagnostic times by 80%,” states Stefano Calestani, the Group's new Service Innovation
