Remote Service Capabilities

Schwabe® Industrial Die Cutting & Molding Presses come equipped with a remote access device that allows a secure connection between Schwabe® and your press.

The Ewon Cosy is an industrial remote access gateway that is designed to offer scalable and secure remote access to machines in the factory. This device allows Schwabe® to troubleshoot machines, debug PLC programs, upload projects, and gain remote control of an HMI or an IP camera, all without going on-site. This drastically reduces support costs.

The Ewon Cosy establishes a secure VPN connection from the machine to anywhere in the world via Talk2M, a cloud-based remote connectivity solution. The router seamlessly communicates on the local area network with the PLC and the HMI, and allows remote connection from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Ewon Cosy and Talk2M make connectivity easy and does not require the user to be an IT expert to take advantage of the time and cost saving advantages.
