With VA IN­DIGO, we will as­sist you in dig­i­tal­iz­ing your work­flows in con­nec­tion with the ma­chine op­er­a­tion - from in­stal­la­tion and train­ing to op­er­a­tion, main­te­nance, trou­bleshoot­ing as well as ser­vice and sup­port.

The world is getting more and more digital and the industry with it – a development that is often referred to as Industry 4.0.

One aspect of Industry 4.0 is the digitalization and networking of machines, logistics, periphery systems and resources based on collecting, analyzing and transferring data. This will enable the optimization of not just one production step but a complete value chain - thereby facilitating new modes of operation and new ways of producing goods more flexibly. Furthermore, it will open new ways of providing products and services.

Based on this worldwide development, VON ARDENNE will support customers in fulfilling future requirements such as autonomy, connectivity, productivity, predictability and flexibility – and help you enter the next era of production.

With our experience of more than 60 years in PVD technology and PVD equipment manufacturing, we know our machines and components from A to Z and how to use the generated data. This know-how in combination with our expertise in engineering, machine and system design as well as individual services has led to our new digital product and service portfolio: VA INDIGO.

The VA PROCESSMASTER is the ideal solution for automated process setting and control for all layer systems. It follows a novel approach in process control and leads to best results without operator interaction. It also allows for a fully-automated stabilization of the sputtering process and improves product quality.

This tool enables our customers to create complex and attractive product recipes. It also helps them increase the uptime of their coating equipment, as it enables a faster adjustment to a new recipe.

Our electronic spare part catalog helps you optimize your spare part management, because it makes the identification of spare and wear parts faster and more precise.

Furthermore, it helps avoid faulty orders caused by incorrect identification. Delays in the ordering process, for instance those caused by the identification of parts, will be a thing of the past.

VA CATALOG will enable you to access to the most recent data in real time around the clock.
