Sauter Turning Process leverages KFactory to gain full visibility into operational data, boosting efficiency and productivity.
Production Locations
Sauter operates several production sites equipped with modern technology. The factory in Dej, Romania, inaugurated in 2015, is one of the essential units of the global Sauter network. The unit is employing 140 specialists in precision component manufacturing. Thanks to technical expertise and operational efficiency, this location plays without doubt a central role in the European supply chain.
From Uncertainty to Clarity with Operational Data
To optimise operational efficiency, Sauter decided to implement KFactory Core und KFactory Analytics solutions. That surely means moving from manual data collection to an automated platform. This platform ensures total transparency and decisions based on accurate, real-time data. The implementation was carried out in stages, therefore transforming each production stage into a monitored and transparent process. Thus, Sauter has moved to a proactive approach, supported by advanced predictive analytics, facilitating strategic decision-making and resource optimisation.
Results and Benefits Achieved
â– Improved Operational Efficiency:Â Real-time monitoring of machinery and performance indicators has reduced downtime by over 4% and increased productivity by 4% in the first months of use.
â– Total Transparency and Rapid Decisions: Detailed reports allow for quick and accurate decisions; advanced KFactory Analytics anticipates issues and optimises processes.
â– Increased OEE: Optimising machine performance has led to a 5% increase in OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), maximising resource utilisation.
â– Competitive Advantage: KFactory solutions enable the rapid adoption of new technologies and efficient process optimisation, while providing Sauter with a significant market advantage.
“We chose KFactory because it is an affordable solution, easy to integrate and use. Operators adapted quickly, and the results were seen immediately. This simplicity and efficiency confirmed that we made the right choice to increase efficiency and improve our processes".
Schlussfolgerung
The implementation of KFactory solutions has provided Sauter with complete visibility in production processes, reduced operational costs, and a continuous improvement in performance. With KFactory, Sauter focuses on embracing digitalisation for operational efficiency and informed decisions, based on concrete data and predictive analytics.
