The benefits of production automation at 247TailorSteel

Manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly automated. This industrial automation includes the use of advanced technologies, such as robots, computers and automated systems to make production processes more efficient and effective. Also at 247TailorSteel is central to this. By automating production, they provide exceptional efficiency that brings customers many benefits.

In the production halls of 247TailorSteel is already immediately apparent that automation is everywhere. AGVs - automated guided vehicles - drive back and forth. They take care of the supply and removal of materials in order to relieve employees and increase productivity. Moreover, everything runs on the Sophia® online software. Requests are automatically processed and converted into a suitable quotation. When this becomes an order, it is transferred to the advanced machines controlled by skilled employees.

The great advantage of automated systems is that they are perfectly capable of working 24/7 without getting tired. Moreover, automated production processes are more flexible than traditional processes. This therefore means that production processes can be easily adapted to changing market conditions. This makes it possible to react quickly to trends and developments in the market without immediate major disruptions or delays. 247TailorSteel can thus efficiently respond to their customers' demands. Ordering is possible day and night.

In addition to having high productivity and flexibility, the output is also of high quality. Automating production processes reduces the likelihood of errors occurring, so the products are often of higher quality than with manual production. At 247TailorSteel they strive every day to produce products of the highest possible quality. They can provide those because of their online software Sophia® combined with final inspection by their own employees also guarantee this. Satisfied customers are most important to them.

A bending robot will soon be installed in the Bending Department at the Varsseveld facility. This will ensure even further automation and acceleration of the production process. Moreover, it is a real innovation that fits in with current developments in the field of robotization.

In addition to the main branch in Varsseveld (NL), this metalworker has recently started operating in Oud Gastel, North Brabant (NL).
