Assembly Optimization

Very often the output and quality of an assembly process depends on the chosen workflow for the manufacturing process. By making an analysis of the as-is process, Tegema can distinguish the added value actions from the non-added value actions. By removing non-added value labour from the workflow, we can improve productivity by 27% on average and improve assembly quality at the same time.

With the increasing intelligence of production equipment, a greater amount of data can be derived from the equipment. To make sense of the vast amount of data, the use of data visualisation software is key. With good graphical representation of data, you can clearly see the status of the process in the blink of an eye and detect anomalies easily.

In the Industry4.0 Era, it is not easy to understand the impact and usability of technologies for your production. Our specialists have a track record in industry and have practiced making technology roadmaps in their field of expertise. Tegema specialists can make a technology roadmap for you tuned to your production, so that it becomes easy to make strategic technology development decisions.

Predictive Maintenance is a buzzword that you hear often in Industry 4.0 reports. But what does it really mean? Where to start? How to make it simple? We believe that Predictive Maintenance technology can be applied in assembly processes to clearly see trends and to create triggers to keep things on track.

During a factory assessment, Tegema specialists will identify the processes that do not add value. Material movement usually is a big contributor. We will first have a look at the material flows in your factory, to look for savings by moving processes in a more logical way. The movements that remain can be automated using automated intelligent vehicles (AIV) to enable your workers to do more value-added work.

Tegema engineers are hardened in real life factory Operations. They use proven technology based on the Toyota Production System. Tegema applies FAST process design for discrete products to achieve maximum productivity, quality and flexibility. The usual result : productivity up >30%, quality less than 300 ppm.

Industry 4.0 is a name given to the trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. Its purpose is to enable mass customisation of products under the conditions of highly flexible (mass-) production and to improve the production performance. Implementation of Industry 4.0 in your production environment can be a huge step. Robots, highly automated systems, and Internet of Things are what is really needed. At Tegema, we believe that a stepped approach is the best way towards implementation of Industry 4.0. These simple steps can make your production environment more efficient through measurements and data collection which provide insight into your production performance.
