Robotics at 247TailorSteel: future efficiency

With the advent of Industry 4.0, robotization, among other things, has gained a more prominent role in our contemporary existence. For the metal industry, this has many positive implications. This quickly becomes clear when we zoom in on the production processes at 247TailorSteel; market leader in the Netherlands and a leader in the field of customized metal sheets, tubes and edge parts.

Robotization in the metalworking industry

Robotization is a process of integrating robots and automated systems into the production process to automate and optimize human tasks. In the metalworking industry, robotization has had a significant impact on production efficiency, accuracy and process flexibility. Similarly at 247TailorSteel, where robots support and enhance people's work.

Automated production processes

Deliver within 48 hours with a delivery reliability of 99.7%. That may sound like an impossible promise to keep. Yet it succeeds 247TailorSteel. How? By using artificial intelligence, or Artificial Intelligence - AI for short. The company's online software, Sophia®, is able to calculate exactly how much time and money it will take to process an order. And so customers know exactly where they stand.

In addition to this invisible robot, robots are also visible on the production floor of 247TailorSteel. The AGVs - Automated Guided Vehicles - ensure that materials are delivered and removed. An edge robot will also soon be available at the Varsseveld headquarters. This will be used to take over the heavy lifting from the employees, but also to further automate and thus accelerate the production processes.

247TailorSteel has successfully embraced the benefits of robotization to optimize their manufacturing processes and better serve their customers. As leaders in the metalworking industry, they have proven that robotization is an essential factor in gaining competitive advantage and providing high-quality products and services in a rapidly changing world.
