As demand for the shift to smart factories increases in the manufacturing industry, IO-Link technology is making a major contribution.
Newlong Industrial Co., Ltd.iNLIj, an industrial machinery manufacturer of bag making machines that produces paper bags, began installing IO-Link from ifm efector co., ltd.* in NLIe bag making machines in 2019 and has been taking advantage of the digital technology benefits of IO-Link not only during the manufacturing process but also after delivery to customers.
Recently, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Machine Industry, which supports the development of Japan's machinery industry as well as management improvement and technological development in the machinery industry, has introduced an example of NLI usage in an article titled "Utilizing IO-Link in Japan's machinery industry - The case study of Newlong Industrial's bag making machine." The article explains in an easy-to-understand manner, even for those who are not involved in machine control or industrial communication networks, the history of the introduction of IO-Link usage and the benefits of IO-Link digital communication. The author is Kaneko Minoru, Chief Researcher at the Institute of Economic Research.
