The CoboLoad is the ideal complement for production environments where manual loading is the bottleneck.
SOMIC Lifecycle Services – Your comprehensive, worry-free package
Our commitment to the highest reliability and performance does not end with the installation of your SOMIC 202. Our experts support you throughout the entire lifecycle of your SOMIC machines — from helpdesk support and remote maintenance to training, spare parts service and preventive maintenance programs. This ensures maximum machine availability and performance in daily operation.
With our digital services we go one step further: SOMIC Eagle, our camera diagnostic tool, makes causes of malfunction visible through multiple integrated camera perspectives combined with real-time machine data – for precise analyses rather than vague conjecture. SOMIC Connect enables the automatic transmission of all relevant diagnostic data directly to our Remote Service in the event of a fault via the "Help me SOMIC" function on the HMI. Problems can thus be quickly narrowed down and targeted solutions implemented – without detours and with minimal downtime.
