With the aim of providing an overall view of technological solutions and combining industry experience along the plastics value chain, the following companies have joined forces to form “avidens”.
The company is cooperation between sensorics and AI company SensXpert, polymer processingand engineering company Schwarz Plastic Solutions, material and laboratory specialists NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing and the mold maker Precupa, specializedon sensor integration inprecision molds.
Avidens has been created as the overlap of “evidence” and the latin term “videns” as it defines the proven data of what can be observed during the molding process.
Expert ecosystem for solutions towards a successfulprocessing of recycled polymers–alongside thecomplete supply/value chain
Avidens support companies with the difficulties involved in using PCR recyclate components. In the event of quality fluctuations in the material and process, the consortium offers assistance in the form of various services, including sampling with highly digitized injection molding systems and tools with sensor technology for a look at material behavior. In addition, we are a point of contact along the entire plastics processing value chain.
Current technologies like pressure sensors cannot look through the material or the product and are handicapped to a certain degree.
Exactly this in-line detection of anomalies inside the molding process is the focus of AVIDENS. With new developed DEA (dielectric analysis) sensors, this technology looks at the behaviour of the polymer inside the cavity. The complete picture and behaviour around vicosityand plastification are monitored and collected during every shot.
