Supporting Watlow’s Integrated Thermal Loop Vision

The EPM platform, including EPM Data, is set to become a vital part of Watlow’s integrated thermal loop strategy, which connects heaters, sensors, controllers, power management systems and data recorders in a unified approach. This integrated loop will enable real-time data processing and machine learning capabilities, optimizing thermal processes and allowing users to respond instantly to changes, reducing energy consumption, and improving overall product quality.

Sebastian Girard, Executive Director Europe at Watlow, explains: “The future release of EPM Data will provide manufacturers with a powerful tool for real-time optimization and enhanced data security. This innovative solution will serve as a data collector to supply data analysis, report creation, machine learning, AI sketch and provide advised decision making to improve manufacturing processes in line with Industry 4.0 trends.  Our unified EPM architecture will span data management, process control, power control, and automation, enabling manufacturers to make truly informed decisions and drive continuous innovation.” Our unified EPM architecture will span data management, process control, power control, and automation, enabling manufacturers to make truly informed decisions and drive continuous innovation.”
