VR technology offers a wealth of advantages in plant design

AZO´s Digital World

AZO is continuing its strategy of digitisation, as already demonstrated at past exhibitions, at the K2019 trade fair. Further development of approaches is ongoing in order to supplement and improve new functions. The aim is primarily to offer better, practicable solutions with genuine added value for customers.

The first topic we are focusing on is virtual reality (VR). The engineering & services (AZO®e&s) division is presenting the latest version of the planning and digitisation tools, which can be used for planning systems and for services in the AZO®e&s area and hence also at AZO®Poly. Three different applications are demonstrated, which clearly depict the latest options for plant design in a virtual environment. 3D planning is used to create the model for virtual reality directly. In order to obtain an ideal basis for planning when extending or modernising plants, there is an option to create a point cloud via a 3D scan and to record the plant’s current status. This 3D scan has been made yet more detailed in the latest version so that even the most demanding design criteria can be recorded quickly and accurately and transferred to the digital realm. The time that is saved taking reference and interface dimensions can be invested in more detailed and accurate planning. In addition to the point cloud, a 360° photographic view represents additional added value from this service. A full 3D scan prevents incomplete documentation for supposedly unimportant areas and thus also potential additional expense for taking of measurements a second time.

The three applications can be chosen by visitors to meet their particular requirements. They give a clear overall picture of the broad portfolio, with which AZO can deliver intelligent solutions for its customers.


The second topic we are focusing on arises from virtual reality – augmented reality (AR). Here users are assisted in their view of reality with the aid of a computer, so it is their perception that is augmented. First and foremost, this technology can be used in the maintenance of plants.

We will be demonstrating our solution that provides a better understanding of plants and plant components with the aid of a tablet. Users can practically submerge themselves in the plant component. They obtain additional information, e.g. about components, wearing parts or functions that are on the interior and therefore impossible to see. Using a geometry-based comparison by means of a video camera, the tablet identifies the relevant component in the customer’s plant. Operating instructions, exploded-view drawings or simulations can immediately be shown for the identified plant component and be used for maintenance.

handling from AZO - resilient and wear-resistant Requirements •increase in overall productivity •high degree of flexibility in conveying materials thanks to vacuum conveyor •components chosen to make best use of overall height •simple, flexible design of conveying distances using pipes •modular concept •robust, cost-effective concept for wear protection •integration of existing technology •improved working conditions thanks to reduction in generation of dust •separation of residual dust The customer In founding the company of Dekura kunststoffrecycling GmbH in 2016, REHAU, the experts for polymers, and Tönsmeier, the plastics recycler, drew on their consolidated expertise in the recycling of PVC and disposal of old windows. The company takes delivery of offcuts from window production, in addition to old windows and roller shutters, and reprocesses them. The collected materials are used to produce high quality secondary raw materials, which can then be used again in the manufacture of window profiles

Innovative solutions require innovative partners
Automated production of wood-plastic composites Requirements •high plant uptime, designed for continuous operation •no restrictions when it comes to automating raw materials •high throughput rate •robust, high-quality construction •process and control engineering and after-sales service from a single supplier The customer Environmental responsibility and recycling technology were among the top priorities when developing the concept and deciding on investment for the manufacture of innovative and award-winning products in the UPM ProFi family of products. Having set themselves the goal of cost leadership, UPM then picked AZO as a partner, with whom continuous optimisation of processes is possible at any point. UPM is a global business with headquarters in Finland and is made up of six business units: Biorefining (biofuels & cellulose), Energy (hydropower plants), Raflatac (label materials), Specialty Papers & Communication Papers and Plywood. UPM Biocomposites’ business is the manufacture of wood-plastic

AZO: Sustainable Solutions for the plastics industry
Expert handling of demanding The requirements •Automation of difficult materials: Plant-based with fluctuating properties, Adherent, sticky, bridging Solid and liquid Sensitive for dust explosion •Tailor made production environment •Expandability for the future •Ideal material flow •Low production cost The customer BioLogiQ® Inc., a bioplastic resin manufacturing company specializing in sustainable plastic products made from renewable resources, was founded in 2011. The company’s intent was to create a useful plastic from the excess starch generated during potato processing. This led to the invention of a new kind of Thermoplastic Starch (TPS) called NuPlastiQ® BioPolymers. Using its proprietary process, BioLogiQ® makes a low moisture content plasticized starch resin. They make NuPlastiQ® in pellet form so plastic product manufacturers can use them like traditional plastic resin pellets on their standard production equipment. NuPlastiQ® pellets are designed to be blended with
