Simple steps to digitalization – with a sense of proportion

on resulted in an order, Fritz Strom created the material list with pen and paper – a completely manual process. The necessary material was then ordered using gut instinct. "Using this method makes it [...] intelliDivide Cutting (optimization software for cutting), productionAssist Cutting (assistant for manual cutting) and materialManager (for material management). The only thing that is required is to get [...] cutting optimization software with consistent and complete information with just a click and no further manual entries. That would be a further quantum leap. In fact, I get the impression that the "PC-phobic"

"The old machines [...] which significantly improved stock control and production management. "Before, each CNC had to be manually loaded, placing all the onus on the operator," Lee said. "Now, all five CNCs are controlled and [...] so much more efficient. “Then there’s the health & safety side of things. The machines do all the manual lifting, and it’s all safety barriered off, so the operators are kept a safe distance from any potential

The lack of skilled workers often [...] complete production over longer distances without any personnel. Alternatively, the saw can be operated manually as usual, making it very flexible to suit your requirements. This hybrid concept was one of the
