Productivity Improvement: increasing the productivity of your machine tools
Productivity Improvement aims to improve the productivity of older machine tools whose warranty period has expired. Their productivity can be increased by up to 15 percent – at a previously agreed, profit-related price and with a contractually assured machine standstill period.
When is Productivity Improvement viable?
In general, Productivity Improvement pays for itself in the case of machines that are used intensively, with high capacity utilization, high numbers of machine service hours, or long running times per part. Overall, the lifecycle costs are reduced and the manufactured quantities are increased.
Where is Productivity Improvement applied?
In CNC, the service is used as follows: The higher computing performance achieved by modernization of the control system hardware shortens all system-related dead times and also supports the use of new software. This, in turn, incorporates the important technological advances of recent years. On your machines, therefore, high-quality, efficient control algorithms and new productivity-enhancing CNC functions can be used. The required productivity improvement is often achieved with just these two measures.
When hardware and software updating are insufficient, CAD/CAM integration as well as the post processor can also be optimized.
All these measures shorten the main process times and ancillary times without subjecting the overall mechanical system to higher levels of wear or the electrical system to critical thermal overloading.
How is Productivity Improvement actually performed?
The organizational process for Productivity Improvement follows a defined, quality-assured process:
The general procedure is to disturb normal operation as little as possible. All optimization measures are prepared by Siemens first in the laboratory and verified in a simulation – production at the customer site continues to run normally during this phase. Implementation at the machine is then performed in the shortest possible time.
Success is guaranteed by Siemens with Performance Contracting in accordance with the Bonus Malus model. This means: We accept responsibility for the project results and you only pay us for what we actually achieve.
Особенности
