How to optimize raw material consumption in a sheet metal factory

  • Advanced Manufacturing
This post focuses on making savings in raw material consumption in the sheet metal industry, something that’s crucial in this sector.

Waterjet, oxycut, plasma or laser, which cutting technology should I use?

  • Digital Transformation
There is significant competition in the market between different cutting technologies, whether they are intended for sheet metal, tubes or profiles. There are those that use methods of mechanical cutting by abrasion, such as waterjet and punch machines, and others that prefer thermal methods, such as oxycut, plasma or laser.

  • Advanced Manufacturing
The changes in the sheet metal sector start from the plant itself, connecting all the machines and areas in real time to make it more productive, thanks to the capacity of anticipation, prevention and prescription that the data emanating from the factory allow when visualised together. This optimisation is only achieved using advanced software, the Manufacturing Execution System, known by the acronym MES. A program that models all processes and machines and has the capacity and technology to communicate with them according to each machine.
