| 14h30 – 15h00 | When Automation Takes Over – Draw2produce Presented by Joris Ide and delaware. More info Customer: Joris Ide Partner: delaware Speaker: Bart De Vogel Synopsis: Purlin production is labour-intensive. From receiving a customer order to manufacturing the final purlin, there is quite some room for error. To produce, a technical drawing is required for the machine operator. This drawing was previously created, up to three times, by three different people, which increased the risk of errors. Now via the implemented integrated solution, the technical drawing is created by an online application, and automatically interfaced with both SAP and CADCAM software and forwarded to the machine operator. This reduces human intervention and the probability of errors. The result is less scrap, less rework, more cost efficiency, and a machine that can produce at its full potential. |
