Fastems FPC & FPM Fast and easy way to improve productivity PressGATE
Fastems is the leading supplier of factory automation. Our business idea is to improve our customers competitiveness through automation and to get the most out of the 8760 production hours that are available each year. Fastems Oy Ab Fastems Oy Ab is a privately-owned Finnish company founded in 1901. Our annual turnover is 81 million Euros and we have 430 employees worldwide. Our headquarters is located in Tampere, Finland, and we have subsidiaries in seven countries in Europe, as well as in the United States and Japan. Fastems professionals are highly educated and committed to meet any factory automation needs. Our constant focus on customer satisfaction has gained us a strong position as a proven automation supplier for the aerospace industry. In addition to the aerospace industry, our important customers include construction & mining ry industries, built-to-order vehicle manufacturers, general builders (such as printing, food, forest s, and tools), mechanical engineering companies (such as gear wheels, engines, and instruments), and component manufacturing and assembly factories. Spindle hours up Fastems automation makes it possible to automate production with tools and thus enables unmanned production. At the same time, the production capacity and utilization rate of the tools is increased. Stand-alone tools typically achieve less than 2000 spindle hours a year whereas tools integrated into an FMS system are able to exceed 6000 spindle hours per year. The best flexible manufacturing systems have reached over 7200 production hours a year in continuously changing batch production. Increased spindle utilization rates together with lower operating costs enable rapid return on investment (ROI). Fastems makes it easy to integrate your tools into an automation system that optimizes their productivity. Using an FMS is easy: you just need to enter the order and its due date, and the system takes care of the rest. Run your production just the way you want! Fastems can help you get your production running the way you want, whether your goal is agile or lean production with the just-in-time (JIT/JOT) approach, kanban, mass production or variable batch sizes with steady quality, or 100% traceability of the manufactured parts. With Fastems automation, you can reduce your cycle times and increase your productivity and utilization rates while keeping the WIP small. More cash flow through improved lead times Fastems automation frees tied-up capital, cuts personnel costs, and improves quality at the same time. Efficient material management and logistics together with advanced production planning features make it possible to run production with only a little presetting and fewer operating personnel, yet still improve quality as there are fewer human factors affecting the production. This enables short lead times and small batch sizes, while preserving the benefits of mass production. Zero setup times with ready-to-use fixtures for repeatable jobs make batch sizes as small as one viable for profitable production. The system saves factory floor space as materials, fixtures, and pallets are stored within the FMS. h PRODUCTIVITY CASH FLOW 8760 Stand-alone solution Automated solution Unmanned production Productive time Non productive time 0 Break even Cash flow Automation Cash flow Stand-alone Setup time Solution type 1 2 3 4 Investment YEARS With automation, zero setup times and unmanned production periods provide higher productivity and cash flow.

Fastems FPC FPC a cost-effective investment The FPC (Flexible Pallet Container) provides suppliers with a complete FMS installed in a container and designed for a specific tool type. Each FPC contains all the equipment required for an automated pallet storage and handling system. This Fastems innovation provides an advanced and cost-effective alternative to conventional pallet systems, turning your machining centre into a small automated FM system. An intelligent investment The FPC allows suppliers to sell FMS solutions in accordance with customer plant requirements. The system is easy to expand with additional pallets, tools and new container units to better meet future challenges. Compared to conventional pallet systems, the FPC is an economical way to add more production capacity. FPC provides tool manufacturers with an excellent opportunity to sell expandable solutions with low investment costs. For instance, FPC is the optimum choice for component manufacturers with diverse or large production series and changing needs. The FPC product is an OEM product and it is sold through our partners, the tool builder and tool suppliers. For detailed information and quotations please contact your supplier. Benefits of investing in an FPC Extendable up to a two- system immediately or in the future High storage capacity due to two-level storage (except FPC-3000) Pre-assembled and tested FMS system provides short installation and start-up times Advanced FPC Cell Controller for unmanned operations Good user ergonomics and safety Automatic coolant handling Extendable from one to two containers 4 5
