Leas – Production line of metal frames for residential and industrial use

PRODUCTION LINE OF METAL DOOR FRAMES FOR RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USE
Case study
Residential and industrial furniture

CUSTOMER

Leading international manufacturer of metal doors for residential and industrial use.

BASELINE SITUATION

Prior to Leas’ technical intervention, the production process was entirely manual; there were work islands dedicated to various welding and metal frame assembly operations. The production process was carried out on 2 product lines, involving 20 people in a total area of 600 square meters.

CUSTOMER NEEDS

INCREASING THE VALUE OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT
Continuous improvement of the aesthetics and structural properties of the product.
MAXIMUM PRODUCTION FLEXIBILITY
Satisfying changing market needs without inefficiency.
REDUCTION OF PRODUCTION COSTS
Reduce production costs by automating profiling lines and the assembly and welding process.
OPTIMIZATION OF RESOURCES
Reduce cycle time to 60 sec to improve average daily production.
INTEGRATED INDUSTRY 4.0 SYSTEM

LEAS SOLUTION

Automation and a new process logistics system made it possible to reduce the space occupied by the production line by 30 percent. The reclaimed space, along with a new elevated buffer system, has helped to significantly increase storage space capacity.Daily production increased from 400 to 1,500 frames per day, working the same number of hoursPersonnel costs were simultaneously REDUCED by 80%.

“When the tolerances we need to meet are very tight, as was the case with this project, there is a risk that automation will become too complex, and therefore costly, to meet these requirements. But at the same time, the associated risks will increase. The ability to combine and simplify things is the best path to take, and is often the hardest to find, but also the only one that leads to success.
