Digitalisation and networking within the production line are playing an increasingly important role when it comes to efficient and high-quality manufacturing. This is because the more reliably the entire film production process is controlled and monitored, the higher the film quality that will be achieved in the end. In this, we rely on our proven process visualisation software ExVis (Extrusion Visualization). With the expansion of Version 5.0, a number of features have now been added that further improve the programme and enable intelligent system control.“
