2 Market TruConnect The working world is changing... and hence the expectations of your business. The trend towards individualized products does not stop for any branch. Every day sees the appearance of new networking solutions that offer tremendous potential for optimization. Together, these megatrends permanently change not just our lives and our working world, but sheet metal processing as well. The complexity of your production system is increasing Customization In a society that grants us more and more individual freedoms, values are changing. This is also reflected in consumer behavior, as people increasingly prefer customized products. This, in turn, is shaping the economy: markets are being divided into an ever increasing number of smaller segments. You can feel the effects. You get smaller orders with greater variety. How do you produce small lot sizes economically? Digital Transformation The fourth industrial revolution is also changing sheet metal processing fundamentally. We see new networked production solutions daily. They connect man, machine and information both within the production facility and beyond. The factory of the future optimizes procedures and reduces process time drastically. What path will you take to networked production?
TruConnect Processes 3 Big or small, make every job pay off You can optimize your manufacturing the most in indirect processes which account for around 80 % of all operations. If you can manage to match the time and expenses incurred by these indirect processes to reflect dwindling batch sizes, you will once more be able to make even the smallest job profitable. What are indirect processes? On top of just one hour processing time, there are around an additional four hours for supporting activities such as planning and administration. These processes account for around 80 % of your production time and offer the most potential for optimizing your manufacturing operation. How do you optimize your indirect processes? Below we outline some of the potential savings from a study we conducted together with Fraunhofer IPA: Planning and administration lntralogistic and set-up Operator organization 75 % 50 % 80 % Create offer automatically online Plan more efficiently with intelligent production control Program jobs faster Process shipping automatically Important information always at hand Manage tools digitally Set-up machines automatically System support with warehouse management Use the best processing strategy to produce parts with optimized set-up Less waiting time Easy access to production relevant information Use electronic real-time job scheduling Mark parts with codes to launch programs and provide feedback Computer-assisted part sorting
