In Industry, there are multiple procedures that allow to guarantee a good production. Among them are those that allow a wide variety of products to be processed without the need to purchase additional machinery for such operations, something known as changeover processes.
Changeover processes are common in Industry where more than one product is manufactured, so it is necessary to adapt the machinery in order to produce a new article.
Format changeovers require a series of operations involving the exchange of parts and elements of the machinery itself in order to adapt them to the new product in question and thus begin production.
Time reduction in changeover processes
Changeover processes require precision and efficiency in order to be carried out quickly and at the lowest possible cost. Slow changeover times are detrimental to the manufacturing company, affecting turnaround times, product demand, restricted operational capacity, and overall productivity.
The significant positive impact to an industry’s productivity and financial performance practically forces companies to invest in digital solutions that facilitate changeovers.
The current context of digitization, within the so-called Industry 4.0, also favors the integrations of tools that help to carry out this type of processes in the best possible way.
