But even industry leaders know that staying ahead means embracing innovation. A remarkable result of this close collaboration is the Cigno—a compact, high-performance packaging machine designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s food industry. With a changeover time from one product to another of just two minutes, the Cigno is flexible and extremely cost-efficient.
Synergy
The Cigno has been developed as a result of G. Mondini’s deep industry expertise and Lenze’s advanced automation technology. The Cigno is equipped with the same high-quality Lenze hardware and software as the Lenze v450 and c520, Lenze FAST, the Lenze i700 and MCS. This ensures top productivity and performance in a space of just 1.6 meters—over 50% smaller than industry-standard machines, with no compromise in output. All components are compatible with other machines, ensuring cost savings and easy maintenance.
Intuitive operation
Ease of use is another hallmark of the Cigno. Thanks to the intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) developed by Lenze, operators can manage the machine with minimal training. “We removed all the complexity thanks to the HMI that Lenze developed for us,” says Paolo Mondini, owner of G. Mondini. The modern Web Panel Lenze v450 offers modern visualization and user-friendly controls, making daily operation simple and efficient—even in times of skilled labour shortages.
A partnership that moves things forward
The Cigno is more than just a machine—it is a testament to what is possible when two industry leaders join forces. Lenze’s adaptable portfolio and customer-centric approach empower G. Mondini to stay innovative and competitive in a rapidly changing market. This partnership is proof that automation, when done right, is a winning strategy for everyone.
