INDUSTRIES
Over the years, we have successfully undertaken diverse assignments in a wide range of industries. Our extensive experience allows us to understand the unique characteristics and challenges of these sectors, enabling us to deliver tailored services and solutions to our clients.
-
Discrete manufacturing involves the creation of unique products, where the level of automation can range from disconnected production cells with substantial operator efforts to fully automated production lines. Challenges within this sector often revolve around optimizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), refining production planning, streamlining product changeovers, and enhancing quality control processes.
-
The chemical industry is catalyst for innovation, producing diverse compounds for various sectors, from pharmaceuticals to agriculture. Challenges frequently encompass the need for a delicate balance between the extreme precision and speed demands placed on assets. Operating round the clock leaves very tight opportunities for preventive maintenance, while simultaneously necessitating high technical availability to support integrated production lines. It’s critical to have best-in-class planning & scheduling and well utilized shut-downs in place.
-
The electronics industry spans various sectors, including consumer electronics, telecommunications, computing, etc. This industry drives technological advancements, innovation, and the development of electronic products that shape our modern world. Challenges often involve the combination of extreme precision and speed requirements of the assets. 24/7 operation leaves very little to no time window to perform preventive maintenance, yet high technical availability requirements due to integrated production lines.
-
The pulp and paper industry involves the production of various paper products by processing wood fibers obtained from trees or recycled materials. It encompasses activities such as pulp production, paper manufacturing, and paper-based product development, serving sectors like packaging, printing, and tissue products. Typical challenges are: extreme cost of lost production time, a high safety risk for employees, shutdown management, inventory optimization and standardization across plant sectors.
-
The food and beverage industry plays a vital role in providing nourishment, and culinary experiences, and satisfying consumer demands for a wide range of food and drink products. It encompasses various sectors like agriculture, food processing, restaurants, and beverage manufacturing. Challenges often involve aspects like food safety, energy efficiency, increased pressure to increase automation level, product traceability, difficulties in measuring OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), lack of reliable data to improve productivity.
-
Mining plays a vital role in supplying raw materials for industries such as construction, manufacturing, and energy production. Challenges in the mining sector often revolve around ensuring worker safety in hazardous environments, implementing sustainable mining practices, managing environmental impacts, optimizing operational efficiency, and boost for autonomous work through various robotic and automation solutions.
-
The metals industry plays a critical role in manufacturing various products, ranging from automobiles and infrastructure to consumer electronics and packaging materials. Challenges are often managing complex supply chains, optimizing production processes for efficiency and quality, addressing environmental concerns such as emissions and waste management, and adopting innovative technologies to enhance productivity and sustainability.
