THE EXPERIENCE WITH CSM
Data driven strategies
Backer OBR is strengthening the development of digital platforms dedicated to production efficiency.
CSM Machinery represents the perfect fit for our manufacturing needs: based of unit 160/48.NIP, Backer OBR has been able to gather data produced in the process. This is becoming an integral and fundamental element of modern digital innovation processes: ‘’owning data’’ opens to the possibility of understanding how to optimize plants’ performances, managing necessary information (KPIs, trends, OEEs, Set-ups) to take correct strategic decisions.
The information becomes the fulcrum of a new added value, thanks to which it is possible to monitor each production step and guarantee full traceability of the elements being produced.
A correct and accurate data management is relevant to:
• support the daily management of the lines
• track parameters, performance and conditions of the plants
• prevent and anticipate the occurrence of unexpected machine stops
• reduce scraps and machine downtime
• increase operational efficiency (OEE) through the use of a smart platform
• assisting, maintaining and solving system problems remotely.
Automation and reliability
The goal of Backer OBR was to increase productivity and at the same time create a more efficient production.
The multi-operation transfer offered by CSM Machinery gave Backer OBR the ability to incorporate operations that were previously made by multiple machines or manually by operators in one single unit.
The combination of the real-time monitoring of the operating conditions of the lines and the added value provided by a skilled partner like CSM Machinery gave us the opportunity to create innovative solutions and make the production more efficient.
