customized to our customers’ needs. Our process<br />

control system Prod-IQ ® is effective and helps to save<br />

resources. The system’s versatile modules cover such<br />

areas as production data management, quality control,<br />

maintenance, and service. Production fi gures are<br />

clearly represented and evaluated. The advantages for<br />

our customers: Process modeling and online quality<br />

control result in material savings (>2.5%) and<br />

increased production speeds (3 to 5%) while reducing<br />

the scrap material rate by 1%!<br />

Prod-IQ ® <strong>2009</strong>: more effi cient than ever<br />

Against the background of the fi nancial crisis, Prod-IQ ® could<br />

prove its superiority in <strong>2009</strong>. This process control technology<br />

proves to be an essential instrument for our customers. By using<br />

all process and production data provided by this system, the<br />

customers can make the best use of their production plants.<br />

Especially in economically hard times, this proves to be a trump<br />

card.<br />

All new ContiRoll ® lines are equipped with Prod-IQ.basics. In <strong>2009</strong><br />

we focused on the detailed inquiry of all material and energy<br />

consumption data for individual machines and aggregates. The<br />

evaluation of this data leads to an optimal and need-driven design<br />

of the plants. This saves customers investment and operational<br />

costs.<br />

With the order to fully equip two more plants (Prod-IQ.basics +<br />

business + quality including SAP-connection), Egger has continued<br />

its successful cooperation with <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> in the area of process<br />

control technology. A predominant part of all Egger plants is now<br />

uniformly equipped with Prod-IQ ® . This means Egger consistently<br />

counts on quick and need-driven data in favor of complete transparency<br />

and reproducibility of production processes.<br />

Management g data from Prod-IQ<br />

Other business relationships of previous years also led to expansion<br />

projects in <strong>2009</strong>. Laminex (Australia) ordered a second<br />

Prod-IQ.basics system for another plant after a fi rst system had<br />

been installed in 2008. Giriu Bizonas in Lithuania commissioned<br />

us to add the Prod-IQ.business module to a new plant that<br />

originally started operation with Prod-IQ.basics. The goal is to<br />

generate all needed evaluations and <strong>report</strong>s with Prod-IQ ® only.<br />

Our developmental focus of Prod-IQ ® in <strong>2009</strong> was on further<br />

simplifying the system with the goal to reduce the commissioning<br />

work. The implemented SOA-Technology (Service-Orientated<br />

Architecture) in connection with the standardized scripting based<br />

on Microsoft.NET technology ensures not only a high technical<br />

system standard, but also simple and fl exible adaptability by the<br />

customer. This allows, with little effort, the use of our process<br />

control technology system including all its advantages with other<br />

machines, such as short-cycle and metal forming presses.<br />
