Industry 4.0 – Connecting globally with KePlast Smart Industry

Future-safe solutions with smart technologies

The KePlast c-series provides the latest Industry 4.0 (I4.0)

technologies which enable worldwide connectivity with

cloud-based data management and smart IT integration.

Both the hardware and software are optimized for die-cast-

ing machines. They offer numerous communication stand-

ards such as Ethernet with OPC UA, fast and secure data

storage for predictive analytics and maintenance as well as

further customer-specific adaptations.

Openness in a new dimension

The KePlast technologies are based on a Linux platform

with a strong community. Due to this open and secure

platform, the c-series’ controllers can be updated and the

latest technologies can be integrated anytime, making the

control solutions future-safe.

KePlast Smart Industy – I4.0 portfolio for the smart die-caster

Through the partnership with KEBA, the die-casting ma-

chine manufacturer benefits by having an expert at its side

who plays a pioneering role in various areas, including the

integration of Linux-based technologies and other cloud-

based assistance services.

‘KePlast Smart Industry’ consists of the KePlast ServiceNet,

which enables worldwide access to the machine and rapid

problem solving by experts. The Chinese servers guarantee

fastest communication. KePlast EasyNet monitors the ma-

chine productivity on stationary and mobile devices and is

understood as Manufacturing Executing System (MES) for

small and medium-sized companies.

You can rely on KePlast

KEBA customers rely on innovative automation solutions

with highest service quality. Over 30 years of experience

in the plastics & die-casting industry enable the compre-

hensive understanding including the markets, process-

es, technologies, and customer-specific requirements.

The long-term partnership with KEBA consists of initial

consultation on system design and installation up to se-

ries production support. The KePlast system is perfectly

designed for injection molding (i-series) and die-casting

(c-series) machines. Due to the related processes, syn-

ergies with the die-casting industry result from 30 years

of expertise in the plastics sector.

The KePlast system is a ready-to-use turnkey solution,

which contains a scalable hardware and a modular soft-

ware platform. Depending on the machine requirement,

customers are offered with various opportunities of mod-

ular or compact control solutions in combination with the

highest individualization in software. The integrated soft-

ware libraries provide the latest state-of-the-art technol-

ogies for controlling the complex process of die-casting

as well as modern multitouch machine operation.

Hardware solutions for all machine types

KePlast c-series cover the entire range of die-casting

machine types. Either hydraulic toggle-lever or complex

two-platen technology can be provided. Additional pe-

ripheraldevicescanbeeasilyintegratedviaI/Osorvari-

ous interfaces. KePlast SpeedPump is our solution for

energy-saving hydraulic servo pumps. The control appli-

cation can be used for open-loop or closed-loop control

machine concepts.

High-end quality European brand quality including latest hardware and software technologies

Quick time-to-market Customer support during the entire product life cycle

Available worldwide Global network of high-skilled application engineers

Extensive technology libraries

Part of the powerful software framework is the extensive

range of technology functions for controlling the die-casting

process and for implementing all these specific functions.

As a result of years of experience, a wide variety of technol-

ogy modules is available including valve or mold position

control. Highly complex applications can thereby be real-

ized in a very short time.

Software tools for die-casting machines

Programming takes place in a uniform, modularly struc-

tured development environment. The operating concept

and the scope of services are adapted to the performance

and the machine’s target market. In this way, the customer

receives an optimally dimensioned control system for each

machine type.

KePlast MachineSequencer - Software assistant for configuration

The software is a graphical online programming interface

for machine sequences. Its intuitive design allows the se-

quence program to be adapted quickly and cost-effectively.

The sequence of all machine movements is entirely flexible

and enables rapidly the set-up of new tools. The program

is ideal for use in high-quality machines with complex alter-

nating core sequences.
