Gestica lite, a new control variant that is interesting for standard machines, was celebrating its premiere at K 2025. It features a distinctively robust industrial panel. The software basis is identical to Gestica and their data records are fully inter-compatible. The new version is reassuringly easy and intuitive to operate using the extended user interface, even for non-specialists; at the same time, flexibility is maintained for experienced operators.

The “Dashboard” is a distinctive new feature on the user interface. The screen homepage clearly displays all the crucial functions for day-to-day work in a clear format. Those functions include information on the job, the current process and direct access to the most important parameters and key figures - all supported intelligently and actively by assistance functions. The touch function can be used to jump directly to the detailed parameter pages for the clamping and injection unit, temperatures and robotic system.

The new “Status Center” offers added value with access to all pending alarms, while the “Help Center” provides access to online support. The “Tasks” area is dedicated to maintenance, material supply and parts disposal. Here, individual notes can be added to the digital “Pinboard” for collaborative work, eliminating the need for paper notes on the machine. This is complemented by simplified navigation and search with AI functionality as well as rapid support for the operator when troubleshooting thanks to assisted workflows with visual solution trees. Assistance and pilot functions such as the “aXw Energy Assist” or the “aXw Control Recyclate Pilot” are available as options. At the K 2025, four exhibits - the electric Allrounder Trend and the vertical Allrounder 475 V — are already equipped with this new control variant. Individual features can also be explained on a demonstrator monitor.
