Accompanying our customers throughout their digital transformation involves constantly adding value. Only through innovative products and services adapted to the needs of each customer can the level of competitiveness required by a smart factory be reached.
Visibility and scheduling for smart production
To respond to the challenges of the digital factory, Lantek has developed a solution that allows plant data to be made available and analyzed, thereby improving decision-making. Combining the powers of a traditional manufacturing execution system and data analysis, makes up the basis of smart manufacturing.
Compiling the information that comes from the machines and manufacturing processes and cross-referencing it with descriptive and historical data prevents errors and can even help events to be anticipated. Quick, smart data-based decision-making is fundamental to the sector’s digital transformation.
The analytical management solutions developed by Lantek allow what is going on in the plant to be viewed and they can also be integrated into other systems such as the management ERP and the scheduling CAD/CAM itself, generating a robust management model that can be adapted to any scenario. In short, smart scheduling.
We want nothing but to make the path to digitization easier for our customers and to help them be more competitive in the challenging era of Industry 4.0. New technological enablers make it possible for any company in the sector to get on board with digital transformation, and the sooner we get on board, the more opportunities we will have to lead this revolution.
When a company decides to go ahead with the digitization of its processes, it tends to be aiming for greater visibility, traceability and optimization, which generally implies improvements in efficiency and decision-making.
Interview with Mr. Austin Jarret, Managing Director of the British company SSC Laser Cutting. SSC Laser Cutting has three plants and manufactures laser cut and folded parts for agricultural and body on to chassis manufacturers in the UK. The company has recently started its digitalization process.
We keep reading about digitization in manufacturing. But are we there yet? We might be closer than you think. Success now relies on efficiency and productivity to drive down operational costs. Companies that will be successful now, and in the future, understand the role digitization plays in optimizing efficiency and are transforming their businesses right now.
