Metal Casting & Foundry
The metalworking industry is one of Germany's key industries. With the aim of being a strong player in a toughly competitive market and addressing the challenges associated with the age of cyber physical systems, these manufacturing enterprises need to maximize efficiency along the entire supply chain. This high level of transparency is achievable by implementing a smart IT solution like the iTAC.MOM.Suite.
Market players in both the metal and steel industries face severe challenges nowadays. Raw material shortages result in fluctuating prices, whereas the energy prices are still on the rise. In their endeavors to maintain sustainable and efficient production operations, companies are forced to reduce average throughput times and accommodate flexible to any emerging changes.
Nowadays, the customer’s requirements become more specific and special, which usually results in a low order quantity. The increasing variation diversity however leads to a poor level of productivity for manufacturing companies. Preparing the material and setting up the machines takes a lot more time with small production batches.
In order to gain and maintain a competitive advantage, companies in the metal processing industry must be prepared to plan, control and operate across all sites. A high level of efficiency for personnel and machines needs to be maintained to meet the challenges that come with the era of Industry 4.0. Flexibility, sustainability and productivity are just some of the key factors that contribute to a successful business development.
