Digital Suite Becomes Part of Metris

Schuler developed, and successfully marketed, numerous solutions for networking forming technology under the name "Digital Suite." These solutions can now be found on the Metris platform of Schuler's parent company, ANDRITZ, which already consists of many digital products for monitoring and controlling industrial systems. This means that Schuler customers now have access to an even wider range of products and, in return, Schuler solutions such as Track and Trace or Intelligent Notifications are now available for ANDRITZ customers.

"With the Schuler solutions, we have succeeded in significantly increasing the productivity and availability of our customers' plants," said Chief Digital Officer Rohitashwa Pant, who also holds the position of Chief Automation Officer at ANDRITZ. "ANDRITZ has a lot of experience with its digital products, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence, cyber security and plant autonomy. We, therefore, complement each other perfectly, and both sides benefit from the joint Metris platform."

As an example, ANDRITZ created a data ecosystem based on Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing via cooperation with Microsoft. The Metris Copilot detects anomalies and optimizes communication between man and machine. A chat interface provides real-time insights into the machine and is a decision-making aid. This helps to increase plant efficiency, product quality and resource utilization in production.
