Always keeping an eye on quality with the end-of-line test bench 👀 

Manufacturing companies find themselves in a high-risk environment. Particularly due to today's competitive pressure, companies must ensure that every single product meets quality standards, thus guaranteeing customer satisfaction to the highest degree. However, many returns or even product failures due to manufacturing defects affect reputation and cause massive loss of time and money. Automated #qualityassessments are therefore essential for the manufacturing industry. 

✅ #EoL test benches are used to test the entire functionality of a product in the manufacturing process. They... 

...are located at the end of assembly and manufacturing processes

...check the newly built "test specimens" with regard to quality-relevant parameters

...have intelligent automation software at their disposal

👉🏼 In addition to the mechanical execution and control of the test, this software is essential to generate parameters and log measured values.

Here SCIO's corporate brand VESCON Gruppe supports customers with the SO3 Hiberion software.

Automation knows no (temperature-) limits ❕❄️ 

Food and beverage manufacturers increasingly rely on individual #automation solutions, to tap the still largely untapped potential for efficiency and cost reduction. 
However, a number of industry-specific requirements stand in the way of the transformation to the #smartfactory:

☑️ Using special materials, panels and installation techniques in the deep-freeze environment 
☑️ Realization of the highest possible storage density despite limited space & given building structure
☑️ Achieving the highest possible storage performance
☑️ Ensuring high availability

To meet these requirements, a high level of expertise is needed. Our experts from MFI Innovations demonstrate the required core competencies in a current project at its customers Coppenrath & Wiese.

Trends and challenges born from #automation implementation

Factory automation has been really high on the agenda for so many companies recently due to

❎ increased pressure from competitors
❎ fluctuations in demand
❎ the need to consistently improve profitability

In light of this, various trends are becoming increasingly apparent when it comes to businesses implementing #automationsolutions - but also major hurdles that have to be overcome and which have already caused numerous companies to fail⚡️.

#Smart Factory - The future vision of industry 4.0

In the context of the 4th industrial revolution, everyone is talking about smart factories. But what does "smart factory" mean? 

Our CEO Michael Goepfarth gives a definition:

➡️ A Smart Factory is a completely integrated production with highly automated processes on a real time data base.

➡️ It connects all logistics and production processes through the integration of hardware and software. 

➡️ Smart Factories meet all demands of the customers.

👉🏼 At the end, the company which implements these processes as fastest will have a significant advantage on the market.  

What's your smart factory definition? Do you have anything to add?

Lack of clarity in coordination, confusing project boards, time differences - Almost any company is familiar with the hurdles in everyday international project work. 

⚡️ It becomes particularly problematic when communication in #projectmanagement relies mainly on e-mail and telephone. Several thousand e-mails during different project phases and an overcrowded inbox are just a few of the difficulties that arise as a result. 

To keep an overview of current project phases and status messages, a suitable project management #software solution is needed that can also tackle other customer-specific problems like:

❎ International communication barriers
❎ Confusion about document versions 
❎ Cloud application with it still being a secure place for the data fed into the projects

To support companies in international project management, the SCIO corporate brand VESCON Gruppe developed #SO3. With the innovative project management software, our experts increase the efficiency of communication significantly and also enable visual project planning.

Production and logistics become smart - as a single unit

At the heart of the 4th industrial revolution, is the #smartfactory 🖤.

It is characterized by fully integrated production and intralogistics systems with heavily automated processes based on real-time data, which enable manufacturing plants and logistics systems to organize themselves without the need for human intervention. By doing so, the smart factory is capable of meeting all client requirements:

✔️ high quality
✔️ faster delivery timescales
✔️ exceptional customization

 👉🏼 As a result, production and intralogistics can no longer be considered as two mutually exclusive constituent parts. On the contrary: linking production and logistics is largely responsible for how successful digitization and automation have been to date.

Preserving tradition, complying with hygiene standards, increasing efficiency - #automation in the #bakeryindustry faces a myriad of challenges.

But the use of innovative automation solutions is worthwhile. In addition to supporting the production of baked goods, they also provide valuable services for packaging at the end of a production line:

☑️ Avoiding monotonous activity for employees
☑️ Increasing efficiency by saving time and reducing costs
☑️ Ensuring compliance with hygiene standards

💡For this purpose, the SCIO corporate brand @MFI has developed OCTA. 

OCTA is an innovative stand-alone machine that effectively replaces the manual packaging process for breads, while being able to take over the quality control of the baked goods.
