Reducing production times

  • Optimized processes in machine and control cabinet building shorten the installation process of machines
  • This reduces your production times and you can deliver your machines to customers faster
  • The configuration and planning phase takes up a large amount of time in machine building
  • A continuous data flow from article selection to startup brings considerable competitive advantages

Overview Reduce production times in machine building

Interactive image map: Reducing production times in machine building
Digital product selection
The reduction of production times already starts with the digital product selection. Therefore, it is important that all products are described digitally in full.
Digital product selection
Planning and simulation of the machine
With the help of the machine’s digital twin, all processes can be tested even before construction. This identifies possible sources of error and danger at an early stage and allows them to be eliminated before the machine is built. This shortens production times and speeds up machine startup.
Planning and simulation of the machine
Construction of the machine
During the assembly of the real machines, worker assistance systems, digital installation instructions as well as innovative connection technologies and professional tools help to shorten machine production times.
