Lean Transformation ~ “ THE RIGHT SENSE FOR INNOVATION”
Furthermore, AUTEC became active in the area of Lean Product Development
(LPD) and was able to optimize the allocation of resources
to the various steps of product planning. Shop Floor Management
visualizes performance indicators, progress of activities, allocation of
resources, priorities, action plans, etc. on display panels. "One of our
strengths," emphasizes Antonio Silvestri, "is that we fully plan our products,
which allows us to be fully autonomous and to satisfy the exact
requirements of customers without having to resort to other tools
dedicated to other functionalities. By doing so, we gain full control
over the development of various processes: from order receipt and
the production of individual components to delivery and after-sales
service. We continue to invest in our global facilities to provide customers
with immediate solutions and ensure the availability of products
and components manufactured in our plant."
AUTEC therefore looks to the future with great optimism. "In our sector,"
says Antonio Silvestri, "technological progress is vital. That is why
we are working on both the simultaneous management of multiple
signal types and improved integration of radio remote controls into
the data processing network, sensor technology and machine diagnostics.
Our systems are increasingly developing into complete "cockpits"
for overall machine control, offering the advantage compared
to stationary devices that optimum and safe remote control is always
possible even under the most adverse working conditions. By working
with machine manufacturers, we can guarantee ever-increasing levels
of productivity and safety."
Today, in addition to "simple" wireless controls, AUTEC manufactures
more complex devices that allow operators not only to control
machines remotely, but also to control and monitor everything that
happens around the machine. The new generation of radio remote
controls, soon to be launched, will provide users with a video control
panel that will allow them to evaluate graphics and presentations or
monitor cameras connected to the machines in a safe environment.
