In the 2020 version of Lantek Expert, this objective has become even clearer.
Savings in material, reduction in downtime, minimization of breakage risks... these are just a few of the advantages provided by our Lantek Expert 2020 version, which includes over 30 new improvements.
For Lantek Flex 3d, our CAD/CAM module for tubes and profiles, we have included valuable improvements in tube production. From improvements in usability, to an algorithm for the destruction of the scrap produced when cutting holes. Furthermore, a new head management algorithm makes it possible to avoid contours that have already been cut, preventing collisions and, cutting times are minimized by eliminating unnecessary up and down movements.
In real trials with clients, we have been able to verify that these new innovations, in both the configuration and the algorithms can prevent over 80% of downtime caused by collisions.
Additionally, the 2020 version incorporates the operation of new machines for automatic loading and unloading of parts, managing the supports and trays mechanically. New lead-ins, movement optimization, improvements in nesting times and memory used... A full package that turns this latest version into essential software for tube cutting specialists.
Regarding production planning packages, Lantek MES, and Lantek Integra business management, there are two major changes. On the one hand, we have been working on a new Look and Feel with new improvements in usability that make these programs easier to use, simpler and more intuitive. On the other hand, this new version enables integration with Lantek Analytics. Many of our clients told to us that they lose a lot of time gathering information for decision-making, both on production parameters and commercial parameters. And, when they did finally obtain the data, they never felt sure of its reliability, as it was generally gathered through arduous manual processes with a high possibility of human error.
For all of those clients, we have launched Lantek Analytics, a visual web tool, which can be accessed from any device and from any place and which, at a glance, shows the main KPIs for each machine, each line or each factory, with more than a dozen filter criteria and over 50 preset KPIs. From the OEE to the inventory, from the material usage percentage to the profitability of a client or an order: it’s a powerful module with which will always give you reliable and up-to-date information.
There are over 70 notable innovations in our products. But for us, the most important ones are the invisible improvements: advances in execution times, calculation, memory management times... and an innovative remote connection system with military-level encryption that will allow our technical department to quickly diagnose a problem, streamline a configuration or rapidly load a backup, making it unnecessary to visit the client’s facilities. Lantek offers an expert technical support team, in your own language which is able to resolve any problem quickly. Because we don’t want your production to stop.
And to top it all off, our 2020 version is well prepared for the contingency that we have all experienced over the last few months. To a greater or lesser extent, we have all seen our activity affected by the appearance of COVID-19 and the uncertainty surrounding what will happen in the months to come. If there is a second wave of the virus and we are forced to work remotely, this new version from Lantek is prepared to work in a variety of virtualization scenarios so that employees at a client’s technical or commercial office can continue using Lantek products from their homes. Lantek has developed a powerful solution for hosting customer’s programs and settings on a Cloud platform. We ensure that the programs work, and that the client’s technical or commercial team can access their information from any location in a perfectly normal way.
Lantek v2020. A version designed so that your production never stops working.
