Energy and resource saving series with Lantek software - Part 1

  • Advanced Manufacturing
In today’s industry, keeping costs low while maintaining competitiveness is essential for companies in the sheet metal production sector. With the rising prices of raw materials and energy, finding ways to optimize operations has become increasingly important. Lantek, a technology leader in the field with a global customer base of over 30,000, has been providing innovative software solutions for over 30 years to assist manufacturers in improving efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing productivity and quality.

Technology and Industry 4.0: meeting the challenge with the right partner

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Industry 4.0 has filled many pages recently, becoming a common word in the vocabulary of companies from any sector. In fact, its potential for improving productivity is immense. But we must remember that this concept includes dozens of very different technologies, each with different implications and results. The challenge for industrial companies is therefore to know their capabilities in detail and draw up a plan to transform production processes step by step.

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.
