The networking of the systems in the course of the "4.0 process" is of central importance for the metal and electrical industry.
Of course, these developments do not happen overnight. On the contrary: depending on the operating equipment, some of them are already a reality, some are still at their beginning.
In addition, constantly change and further development are at the core of industrial production in your company.
The finishing of the surface is often the last step in production process.
Maybe is there a functional reason to avoid corrosion or to minimize wear.
Or an optical reason requires a high-valency appearance, for example chrome plating.
It is also possible that both reasons exist. For example, a powder coating can be applied to add color to the product while protecting it from corrosion.
Time and again it goes through the specialist world that electronics production in Germany is not worthwhile.
Different products are often compared. Which machine manufacturer would like to have components in its control that are widely scattered in tolerance and service life?
None of them.
Modern SMD or hybrid production can easily keep up with the costs from Asia. And large THT assemblies are hardly used anymore.
And on-site production with its short distances has great advantages and makes more independent.
Plastic parts are in almost every product today. And even if plastic is criticized more and more, it will remain so for a long time. And that's just as well.
The materials will change. There will be increasing use of plastics that are less harmful to the environment, because they will be biodegradable, or are easy to recycle.
But not only pure plastic is processed today, materials such as porcelain (CIM) and metal (MIM) are already being processed into high-quality products with the help of injection molding.
And in terms of costs, modern manufacturing can easily keep up with that in Asia if both use equivalent materials.
Assembly is one of the most important departments in a manufacturing company. The work contents range from the assembly of one or more assemblies to the finished end product. Adjustment or calibration settings are almost always required.
Manual, semi-automated and fully automatic assembly are used here.
It is essential for all assembly processes that the operations are correct and economical.
An AI software that takes over control always keeps a clear overview even in an apparent chaos, and ensures the shortest possible throughput time and the lowest possible costs.
Almost every product has a printing in one or more places. Be it to represent a scale, to label something, or to put a identifier or symbol to the product.
Pad printing or screen printing, or hot stamping, or thermal transfer printing, or ink / laser jet, or needle marking can be used.
Sometimes uneven places like as bevels or curves often have to be printed. And this by economic cost.
A particular focus is when pictures must be printed by the 4 color in europe colors stil. Accuracy is very important.
The logistics are divided into internal and external logistics.
Internal logistics is about having the materials available in the right place at the right time.
External logistics is responsible for ensuring that the goods get from the location to the customer as quickly as possible.
The warehouse can be organized with fixed storage compartments, or an IT system specifies chaotic storage spaces. Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages.
In production, certain parts are often also worthwhile, e.g. B. DIN-parts, in stock according to the Kanban system.
Your entire company - including customers and suppliers - is digitally mapped and can be networked processed. Connections and effects quickly become transparent.
Where can something save on or optimized? Real results help you to make precise decisions.
This shortens your response time.
