Changsha Meiyu Electrical is one of the most powerful suppliers of precision sheet metal, railway transit, aluminum alloy welded structural parts and one-stop complete electrical equipment in Hunan. It is a high-tech enterprise integrating design, production, sales and service.
As a leader in the sheet metal industry in Hunan Province and an advantageous enterprise in aluminum alloy machining and welding, its factory has advanced domestic and foreign production equipment, such as TRUMPF laser cutting machine, Bystronic laser cutting machine, Han’s laser cutting machine, Hugong plasma / flame cutting machine and AMADA CNC 30 station tower punching machine.
Why Lantek?
How to manage the advanced cutting machines of different brands in a unified way to maximize the value of the equipment while reducing the labor cost of the enterprise?
The manager of Changsha Meiyu electrical spent some time thinking and trying to solve this problem. He came across Lantek Expert software by chance. Under the careful and professional demonstration of Lantek engineers, he finally chose Lantek to increase the production efficiency of the factory.
Results
Currently, Lantek Expert software has fully proved its reliability and efficiency in Changsha Meiyu Electrical. Machine tool operators, programmers and company managers are very satisfied with Lantek software because:
Lantek Expert efficiently manages the factory’s multi-brand cutting machines and interfaces with the original ERP system.
Lantek Expert has greatly improved the programming efficiency. Two new equipment added in the factory while the number of engineers has been reduced from 5 to 4.
Lantek Expert has integrated a super algorithm. The comprehensive utilization rate of materials has been increased by 3%, the cutting efficiency of the machine tool has been improved, and the energy consumption has been reduced accordingly.
If the factory acquires other cutting equipment of the same brands in the future, it won´t be needed to purchase new programming software, Lantek Expert is still compatible and running stably and efficiently.
With this new extended "Assembly to Nesting" (A2N) technology, Lantek introduces a tool that enables sheet metal manufacturers to complete tasks in minutes that previously could take hours. The software can process 3D drawings of individual parts and entire assemblies with multiple components, unfolding them and calculating production requirements.
Cutting and bending sheet metal accurately is a challenging task, especially when the job involves tight tolerances and complex geometries. It often takes time, skill, and multiple tries to meet customer specifications.
Industry 4.0 is in the news and companies in every sector are becoming aware of the terminology. 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 to understand the possibilities for their business in detail and draw up a plan to transform production processes step by step.
