A2N – The Turbocharger for Manufacturing 3D Sheet Metal Parts and Assemblies

  • Advanced Manufacturing
With this new extended "Assembly to Nesting" (A2N) technology, Lantek introduces a tool that enables sheet metal manufacturers to complete tasks in minutes that previously could take hours. The software can process 3D drawings of individual parts and entire assemblies with multiple components, unfolding them and calculating production requirements.

Digital Factory: digitization of the supply chains

  • Advanced Manufacturing
In this Industry 4.0 era, the new integral production strategies adopted thanks to the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning cloud solutions; at the plant, in terms of the sensorization of machines and processes and the Internet of Things (IoT); and in products, in terms of 3D modeling and simulation systems (Digital Twins, Augmented and Virtual Reality) allow total management of the product life cycle in the digital supply chain.

Metal parts around the clock

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Two years ago, Hollandsteel started producing metal parts for the Dutch market in a brand-new factory. Its machines are running 24 hours for an ever-increasing number of clients and its concept could be trendsetting for the industry.
