Even modern production equipment require manual activities in order to fully utilize the flexibility and performance.
For many laser cutting systems, unloading or sorting the cut-outs by employees is still the best option.
High-performance machines often lead to high demands on employees. However, this often has a negative impact on quality and productivity.
Digital assistants can visually support employees
- The system projects relevant information directly onto the components after cutting.
- Order numbers make it possible to differentiate between very similar parts.
- Different colors facilitate easy recognition.
- At the same time, this makes it easy to allocate parts to subsequent processes.
Digital assistants increase efficiency and quality
- Employees can work more efficiently and have less stress.
- Machine utilization increases.
- Throughput times are reduced thanks to better sorting quality.
Flexible and easy to integrate.
- The system utilizes standard projectors and can therefore also be used independently of special hardware manufacturers in the long term.
- The digital assistant uses the same data as the existing laser cutting system. Complex interfaces or data preparation are not necessary.
- The system can be flexibly adapted to the production process in a company.
- This solution can be used for cutting equipment for various materials such as sheet metal, plastics and wood.
Advantages
- Faster unloading. Fewer errors when allocating parts to individual orders.
- Improved working conditions for your employees.
- Utilization of existing machine data.
- Simple installation & commissioning. Very intuitive operation.
- Customizable. A safe investment.
Pilot installation together with RK Metalltechnik
By introducing the digital assistance system, our partner RK-Metalltechnik was able to achieve several positive effects and productivity gains:
- Shortening the processing time of orders by 2 working days.
- Enormous increase in production capacity, as time-consuming search and sorting processes are avoided.
- This innovation has further improved workplace attractiveness and employee satisfaction.
