Cloud Solutions in industrial plants

The quoting process in sheet metal manufacturing has long been dominated by manual calculations and fragmented workflows. Traditional methods, often reliant on spreadsheets and complex formulas, are time-consuming and prone to errors. Enter Lantek iQuoting, a modern solution that automates and streamlines the entire quoting process, offering significant advantages over these outdated techniques.

Lantek has been a leader in the sheet metal industry for 35 years and one of the key activities it has been working on since its inception is collaboration and support for OEM machine tool manufacturers in the sector. Not only has this collaboration helped OEMs to solve technological problems, optimising the functionality and performance of their machines, but it has also enabled sheet metal manufacturing companies to take advantage of these new techniques, boosting productivity and reducing costs.

Let’s think for a moment about the high volume of data generated by companies. Data about customers, suppliers, productivity, human resources... Information that, in many cases, is not integrated into all business departments so there is no overall vision or, what is worse, it is not even digitized. Both weaknesses stall decision making and/or can lead to wrong decisions. And in this new digital ecosystem, data is the raw material of Industry 4.0.
