From Shop Floor to Cloud: How Lantek MES Transforms Manufacturing

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Slice. Bend. Weld. Repeat. Each action on the shop floor demands flawless execution. Lantek’s Machine Connectivity technology, paired with our Manufacturing Execution System (MES), is revolutionizing this routine. The secret sauce? Real-time data. MES integrates effortlessly with CAD/CAM systems, bridging the gap between design and production, and ensuring every operation is executed with pinpoint accuracy. This is not just an upgrade; it’s a transformation.

SHEET HAPPENS VII: The art of taming stocks of sheet metal: Configuration and good practices

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Today we are looking at how to keep control of sheet metal stocks and remnants. Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed, trying to keep track of all the different sheet sizes and remnants you’ve been adding on the fly? Now, you keep getting a huge selection of sheet sizes options that appear every time you try to use “do all” in the automatic nesting and machining page.

Intelligent Collision Avoidance

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Lantek recently developed a new algorithm called ICA “Intelligent Collision Avoidance ) in order to minimize potential collisions between the head and unstable contours. When the new algorithm detects which contours pose a potential risk of falling and being positioned on top of nearby contours, the system automatically assigns a micro-cut at the end of said contour. Thanks to this new algorithm, the cutting process has taken another step toward full automation and unattended cutting, minimizing the risk of machine shutdowns due to collisions.
