Down to a lot size of 1 – orders are becoming smaller and smaller

No two production processes are the same, but one thing they all have in common is that lot sizes are decreasing. At the same time, the requested delivery times are getting shorter. We therefore have experts who go on-site to analyze processes and optimize them so that even lot sizes of 1 will be worthwhile.

You can save a lot – make the most of your potential!

Planning & management

With intelligent production control, you can plan more efficiently, as well as process orders more quickly and using more automated processes.

Factory flow & set-up

Set up your machines using automated processes and manage both your store and your tools digitally.

Operator self-organization

Benefit from real-time electronic analyses and always keep an eye on all information relevant to production.

It's all about the big picture

Experience has shown: sheet metal processors often lack transparency concerning the order status, capacities or utilization. At the same time, the manual coordination and consultation outlay is also high and prone to error. In order to work more cost-efficiently and reduce throughput times, indirect processes also have to be optimized. From quote to shipment of the parts, we create an entire flexible and integrated system along with you.

Working alongside you, we develop goal-oriented solutions for sustainable optimization of your processes and implement your Smart Factory step by step.

Every order is profitable – whether big or small

For one hour of processing time, there are around four hours of indirect operation – the outlay for indirect processes rises at a considerable rate for increasingly smaller lot sizes. This is because they make up around 80% of all processes. This presents an opportunity for networked production. If you are able to adapt the outlay for indirect processes to the decreasing lot sizes, even lot sizes of 1 are profitable again.

Why are lasers the perfect 4.0 tool?

Fast, direct, flexible – digitalization needs a tool that can keep up with you

In a Smart Factory, for example, workpieces are given a data matrix code, which the system can use to determine the path the part is to take through the system and how it is to be processed. Transport systems and processing stations comply with specifications. In order for this to work, the production needs a highly flexible tool which is easy to control, just like a laser. The codes themselves are applied by a marking laser and are clearly readable on any surface by using camera-supported image processing during the marking process. The code contains all other information for complete further processing and traceability.
