The Bühler Virtual World is a unique online platform that integrates 3D visualisations of solutions and technologies, and a virtual event with keynotes and a conference zone with breakout rooms for presentations as well as individual online meetings. As a response to the corona pandemic, Bühler hosted its first Virtual World in May 2020 to engage with customers and partners. Encouraged by the success of this first endeavour, Bühler has expanded the approach building a 3D landscape world featuring all Bühler businesses. The Bühler Virtual World showcases a series of new solutions and product launches designed to delight consumers, strengthen competitiveness, and increase sustainability. Delightful – solutions for sustainable and tasty products, and sweet temptations For chocolate customers, the ChocoX modular moulding line is now commercially available. The first line has already been installed. More about ChocoX can be found here. This completely new line offers flexibility for super-fast adaptations of unlimited variations of chocolate products, addressing the consumer need for individualised products. Gaining the competitive edge with latest Bühler solutions Bühler’s customers range from the largest companies in their industry to up and coming entrepreneurs. For small- to medium-sized beer and malt producers, as well as beer start-ups, Bühler is introducing RimoMalt, a flexible concept for modular malt production. Customers can create craft malting solutions and quickly respond to changing demands with new varieties of locally produced beers. RimoMalt is modularly extendable, and the preassembled modules can be quickly installed. With RimoMalt, brewers are operating Bühler’s most modern malting automation system. Media will receive more information on RimoMalt on Wednesday, March 24. More profitability thanks to sustainable solutions Bühler offers inks and coatings manufacturers an "unbeatable duo". The high-performance bead mill MicroMedia Invicta,in combination with the pre-dispersing unit MacroMedia, saves 200kg of CO2 equivalent per ton of ink produced compared to today’s standard processes. At 10,000t/yr of ink, this corresponds to the CO2 inhaled by 80,000 trees/yr or more than 8000 return flights from Zurich to New York. Services are the game changerFor all these solutions and opportunities, services can be the game changer. Therefore, Bühler has worked out a comprehensive services portfolio focusing on uptime, capacity, and sustainability. Digital plays a crucial role, and all digital services are based on the platforms Bühler Insights and myBühler. Helping optimise the installed base of Bühler customers promises massive savings for factories running today. "Our mix of remote digital services and our decentralised network of service stations and partners makes our customers more successful, as their plants profit from increased uptimes and smart preventative services," says Johannes Wick, CEO Grains & Food at Bühler. Customers can rely on Bühler services such as TotalCare for inspection and maintenance, RemoteCare for remote support, upgrades to extend the lifetime of customers’ equipment, or CO2 assessment services. One highlight is the SmartRoll service, which connects rolls of a mill to Bühler Insights.
