Smart Factory: An Easy Introduction to Networked Production

White paper: How to specifically improve productivity and part quality through small steps, compact store, and basic automation.

Many companies with small to medium lot sizes are still in the very early stages of adopting Smart Factory technologies, while also being under pressure from higher order intakes, a shortage of skilled workers, and rising material and energy costs. This white paper shows you how to get started with networked laser cutting and punching solutions without a large project and with manageable investments, while standardizing your processes, and ensuring production processes are transparent. 

  • First steps toward a Smart Factory for small and medium production volumes – practical and feasible 
  • Turnkey entry-level cells with TruStore compact store, automatic loading and unloading, and assistance systems 
  • Specific benefits: up to 100% more machine runtime and up to 40% lower part costs compared to individual machines 
  • Process model “Philosophy of Growth”: Gradual digitization without production risks 
  • Real-world examples: low-scratch processing, flexible geometries, higher part quality with varying materials
