Project: R3GROUP
Publisher: LMS
Technology: Digital twin
Industry: Manufacturing
INTRODUCTION
This advanced Digital Twin technology revolutionises the copper extrusion industry by providing complete process visibility and real-time insights into the production cycle.
By integrating data from manufacturing operations, companies can enhance resource management, minimise waste, and improve the overall quality of extruded products.
This solution also empowers businesses to optimise production by predicting product quality outcomes based on different manufacturing parameters, ensuring better decision-making and driving a reduction in scrap rates by at least 15%. With a focus on precision and efficiency, it is adaptable to various materials beyond copper, enabling a broader range of applications.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
The main features of this solution are:
- Prediction of quality variation in the product, depending on the drawing steps selected to manufacture it.
- Scalable architecture able to include different quality features depending on the end-user application.
- Real-time part traceability.
- Integration and detection of systematic errors in the production that affect product quality.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The main benefits of this solution are:
- Full, real-time traceability for all extruded products in the factory.
- Cuts down lead times, contributing to faster market delivery.
- Lowers scraps rates, enhancing material utilisation and cost-efficiency.
- Improves overall equipment effectiveness for heightened productivity.
