With the launch of the i-Series product line, networking and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) will be introduced into dry ice production with ASCO pelletizers. Thanks to the use of sensor components and state-of-the-art communication technology, ASCO offers a wide range of services in the areas of remote access, remote data and remote management. With immediate effect the ASCO Pelletizers P28i, P75i and BP420i pelletizers are equipped with IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Among other things, customers can monitor their production quantity, production time and LCO2 consumption. Remote assistance is offered in the event of machine malfunctions and production interruptions. ASCO technicians can remotely assist the customer to correct the error or take the necessary steps to get the machines back into operation as quickly as possible. ASCO customers thus receive faster support and more transparency about their production parameters. The i-Series product line will be standard for future ASCO products.

VPA and its three employees will delve even deeper into Industry 4.0 and develop technical solutions, interfaces for new product lines and automation projects for dry ice production centers.
