Manufacturing and production systems of the future need to quickly follow production fluctuations and cost reductions, while they in the same time need to take the quality of the products to a new level of perfection.
The vision of Industry 4.0 and in particular the smart factory is to establish digitalization in industry and manufacturing and thus to facilitate and optimize production. Through communication within the smart production system, the factory itself can make adjustments during production. In this way, bottlenecks are avoided and free resources are used as efficiently as possible.
Broetje-Automation assists during all the steps to establish your factory of the future in order to bring this complex task to an outstanding outcome. Our lines enable highly flexible, efficient, and precise production for our customers. We provide the right machines and systems to fulfill this vision.
Production studies are the key for successful realization of the Factory of the Future. No matter if it is a production relocation or an optimization of capacity or work flow, our experienced know-how will provide you the best solution for your challenge.
We analyze business cases for automation in your field of production utilizing decades of experience with commercial engineering in the aerospace industry.
The dynamic simulation of production processes with SIMIO helps us to optimize logistics as well as verify station capacities. Animations of the designed factory layout give you the chance to visit your future production facility prior to realization.
In the Factory of the Future, the entire production system is digitally interconnected and fully integrated.
On example is the handling of NC programs:
Based on the combination of a Digital Twin, a tight integration of all controls and Broetje’s Offline Programming System SOUL OLPS V5, a live simulation of all NC programs can be performed even during the programming cycle.
This not only dramatically speeds up NC programming. With real NC-Machine data, it is also possible to avoid emerging problematic situations and collision risks to keep the quality level high and production costs low.
The digital MES integration of both lines with the latest development stage of Broetje’s Line Management System leads to a successful integration of complex components of an assembly line towards the Factory of the Future.
A shared labor pool including exchangeable NC programs and a detailed data collection ensure full visibility of each state of production in real time. For this the SOUL Job Control software enables far-reaching (re-)organization of work orders for each machine via a digital interconnected backbone, if necessary. NC-programs can be shared and redistributed between multiple machines to optimize throughput and overall equipment efficiency of the entire line.
Mobile assembly systems allow continuous adaptation and optimiza-tion of production through individual job routes based on the completely free allocation of orders, resources, time, and workplace within the factory. This is achieved through an unseen level of mobility of the production systems.
Our solution: Do not move the part, move the machine!
With a specially design Universal Carrier System platform we make robotic and other systems mobile. They navigate autonomously through the shopfloor, they can share and exchange work programme and therefore reduce the physical footprint as well as emissions. They increase productivity and performance.
The Paris Airshow is opening its gates from June 19 to 25. It is expected with pleasure to participate in this prestigious trade show. Broetje-Automation Group represents innovation and cutting-edge technology and is ready to showcase its exceptional products and services to a global audience of aviation enthusiasts and industry experts.
Broetje-Automation has delivered the innovative Automated Fiber Placement System “STAXX One” to VIC-K, a leading international provider of products and services to the aerospace, defense, energy, and railway sectors. The system includes a COMAU industrial robot with a STAXX One Fiber Placement Endeffector and an additional rotational axis, making it ideally suited for building a wide variety of composite structures.
