ENHANCED TRANSPARENCY, QUALITY AND ABILITY TO PLAN IN FORM MANUFACTURING
CYON is a data-based software platform for optimizing gravure form manufacturing. It digitalizes cylinder production and provides a clear overview of all processes in real time. CYON improves your ability to plan, simplifies sequences and supports comprehensive, seamless tracking of the entire production operation.
CYON is available on a license basis and is a modular solution. The individual modules can be combined to suit specific customer requirements. CYON Chemistry Individual is a stand-alone variant that is available alongside these modules.
CYON can be integrated seamlessly into existing K.Walter master and process automation systems, with digital networking, data-based control, real-time display and comprehensive K.Walter process know-how taking cylinder production to a whole new level.


DIGITAL PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT
CYON offers the following advantages in the digital production environment:
- Higher efficiency / higher cylinder output thanks to improved utilization of the installed equipment
- Better quality thanks to standardized processes, fewer deviations and built-in expertise
- Lower costs thanks to fewer remakes, optimum manning and faster reaction times

CYON MODULES AND FUNCTIONS
Integrated modules that are possible (can be combined based on your specific requirements):
- CYON-P (Performance): Evaluation of equipment utilization, machine availability and cylinder production figures for individual machines and entire production areas (copper, engraving, and chrome)
- CYON-T (Transport): Evaluation of transport equipment based on the number of transport operations, utilization and availability for cranes, warehouses and shuttles, plus a job tracing function for all cylinders produced
- CYON-A (Alert): Evaluation of alerts
- CYON-C (Chemistry): Process monitoring for all K.Walter electroplating units, with an interface to external analysis in the K.Walter laboratory, a function for inputting analysis results, evaluation of analyses and suggestions for corrections covering all K.Walter electrolytes
- CYON-M (Maintenance): Maintenance status display for quality-relevant processes and a process maintenance prompt based on Ah/cylinder, plus a calibration status overview for defined measuring instruments, a related prompt function and documentation of calibration in accordance with DIN ISO 901
- CYON-Q (Quality): Display of process quality test results, including recommendations, and manual input masks for the relevant quality parameters of the process steps, with the option of output in the form of certificates
- CYON-D (Dashboard): Central cockpit display of the dashboards from the individual modules
Stand-alone module:
- CYON-C (Chemistry) Individual: This module is fully pre-configured on a micro PC unit. It works along the same lines as the integrated CYON-C module.
