Digital Manufacturing at Schleicher Fahrzeugteile – connected, transparent, efficient
Schleicher Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG is one step ahead of the competition: its machines, software, and tools have been intelligently networked using a Siemens solution. The goal: a 30 to 40% increase in productivity.
The starting points here are:
-
15 machining centers are connected via the Mcenter shop floor platform. Their deep integration enables comprehensive use of machine data for process optimization.
-
Machine availability and utilization are monitored and analyzed using Analyze MyPerformance /OEE.
-
Program management based on Manage MyResources /Programs ensures that the right editing programs are deployed to the right machine at the right time.
-
A centralized tool management system using Manage MyResources /Tools is currently in preparation – to ensure optimal tool utilization and minimize setup times.
-
Works preparation, product and process design all use Digital Twins of the machining tools.
The result is a fully digital process chain that enables the company to identify and eliminate bottlenecks precisely where they will yield the greatest benefit.
In this video, Managing Director Stefan Schleicher explains the benefits that the digital shop floor and the partnership with Siemens bring to his company.
