Whether from Maillefer, Rosendahl Nextrom, Troester, Davis-Standard, Nokia Maillefer, Brabender, Theysohn, Reifenhäuser, Kabmak, Extrusion Dies Industries (EDI), KraussMaffei, Coperion, or other manufacturers, many production companies in Germany operate high-performance jacket extruders whose machine data is rarely used — or not used at all.
The machines run reliably, but critical machine data from jacket extruders often remains hidden:
Especially with older jacket extruders, the foundation for effective machine data utilization is often missing:
From Maillefer and Rosendahl Nextrom jacket extrusion lines to Troester and Davis-Standard extruders, as well as Reifenhäuser, KraussMaffei, and Coperion systems, even machines that are more than 30 years old can now provide structured machine data for analysis, process optimization, and OEE improvement.
Do you operate jacket extruders from Maillefer, Rosendahl Nextrom, Troester, Davis-Standard, or Reifenhäuser — or even older systems from manufacturers that are no longer active?
In many production facilities, this is exactly the reality:
This is exactly where Novo AI comes in.
With Novo AI, machine data from jacket extruders can be captured quickly, safely, and easily. Our external AI sensors are mounted directly on the jacket extruder — regardless of manufacturer, machine type, or age. They capture high-resolution vibration, acoustic, and energy consumption data directly from the production process and make this machine data available in real time through the WatchMen platform — with optional integration into existing ERP or MES systems.
Many companies face the same challenge:
"We don't have our own IT department, and our employees are not digitalization experts – how are we supposed to capture machine data?"
The answer is simple: With Novo AI, it's not a problem.
Machine data from jacket extruders can be captured with Novo AI in the shortest possible time — without any intervention in the machine control system and without requiring specialized technical knowledge.
Our external AI sensor can be installed on each machine in less than 15 minutes.
All that is required:
- A power connection
- A Wi-Fi connection or LAN port
The sensor is mounted externally on the jacket extruder:
- No opening of the machine
- No connection to the control system
- No risk to warranties or certifications
Once installed, the sensor automatically transmits the captured machine data to the central WatchMen platform. There, you can immediately see what your jacket extruder is doing — in real time.
According to the VDMA, machine data acquisition forms the foundation of every successful Industry 4.0 strategy.
Typical machine states captured include:
Do you already use an ERP system such as SAP, proALPHA, ABAS, Microsoft Dynamics, PSIpenta, Infor, Oxaion, or an industry-specific solution? Perfect — because this is exactly where the machine data from your jacket extruders should become available and actionable.
With Novo AI, integrating machine data from jacket extruders into existing ERP systems is simple, secure, and efficient.
This means:
The machine data from your jacket extruders is then made available directly within your ERP system, for example for:
"Thanks to the AI sensors, we now have access to real-time machine data that helps us make better decisions every day. With Novo AI, we increased average shopfloor OEE from 30% to 60%—and in some cases even higher."
Salvatore Viola, COO
“Integrating all these machines initially seemed almost impossible—until we discovered Novo AI. Today, we have real-time visibility across our entire production and can identify optimization potential instantly. This technology has fundamentally changed how we operate. We can no longer imagine running production without machine data.”
Torsten Jörges, CEO
“Before Novo AI, we were forced to rely on estimates. Understanding how our machines actually performed was a nightmare. Connecting machine data to our ERP felt impossible and far too complex. Today, decisions are faster, more accurate—and daily operations are simply easier.”
Hermann Strathmann, CEO
“‘Made in Germany’ can only survive with automation and digitalization. With Novo AI, we now have intelligent machine data collection and processing—and were able to connect all our machines in record time.”
Frank Ringat, CEO
“Our mid-sized manufacturing customers are being truly transformed by Novo AI’s solutions. With minimal effort, they retrofit and digitize their machines intelligently—taking efficiency to an entirely new level.”
Dr.-Ing. Malte Stonis, CEO
“For highly efficient production, the systematic use of machine data is no longer optional—it’s essential. With WatchMen, Novo AI delivers a solution that turns data into real, timely, and easy-to-understand insights. That’s exactly what mid-sized manufacturers need to plan and operate more efficient factories.”
Dr.-Ing. Tobias Heinen, CEO
“Novo AI enabled us to network our machines within days and gain real-time visibility into performance. Implementation was seamless, and we quickly gained valuable insights to optimize our production processes and improve efficiency.”
Torsten Subke, CEO Werk Luechow
