Eder construct unique transport vehicles of the highest technical level, in-house. Manufacturing ever new models from beginning to end, is logistically very demanding. For a long time, Eder relied on the classical "Insourcing" method: parts were produced by suppliers and delivered to Eder. Due to the high administrative outlay and long waiting times, the company took on laser cutting and bending themselves a few years ago.
Challenges
Vehicle manufacturing at Eder came increasingly under pressure due to the fact that required parts from external suppliers were not available fast enough. The in-house bending machine also turned out to be a bottleneck: it was no longer able to keep up with the required speed. A custom solution for laser cut parts and a faster solution for bending parts was necessary.
