Assembly and test systems
Meeting today’s needs while anticipating tomorrow’s requirements
We manufacture assembly and test systems to improve production processes.
Our starting point is our customers’ needs. Our aim is to meet them with assembly and test systems promoting the improvement of production processes. To achieve this, we adopt a holistic vision and organise the workflow preserving those activities that generate value while reducing any waste of resources, in line with lean manufacturing principles.
Systems are tailored according to the real present needs and reconfigurable over time.
CUSTOMER ORIENTATION
For us every customer is unique: product and production characteristics, investment plans, and priorities are specific to each of them.
Dedicated teams
Cross-functional teams support customers through every step of their projects, from technical requirement definition to machine commissioning and after-sales service, monitoring quality, time, and costs regularly.
Co-engineering
On request, we can collaborate with customers at earlier stages, to engineer end products and production processes together and study the industrialisation cycle in parallel.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We apply a sound methodology to project management to fully meet technical requirements, as well as time, costs, and quality constraints.
Risk assessment
Using advanced risk assessment techniques, we can identify and analyse the risks associated with the project and implement proper reaction strategies, in order to keep project progress safe.
Portfolio analysis
A careful portfolio asset allocation and tracking of performance and process indicators allow us to deliver all projects as agreed with customers.
FLEXIBILITY
Needs can change as well as markets, trends, technologies and regulations. Therefore, thanks to highly modular hardware and software design, our systems are not only high-performance but also easily adaptable to changing needs. Our customers are thus able to manage resources dynamically to achieve sustainable growth over time.
Production reconfiguration
Our systems can be easily reconfigured to process not just a single product but entire families of products.
Scalable systems
Our systems can be adapted, even automatically, to different production conditions, changing their performance according to the desired investment and the expected targets.
RECONFIGURABLE SYSTEMS
Thanks to their flexible design, our lines can be adapted to every phase of the product life cycle, from prototyping to serial production.
INDUSTRY 4.0
We work adhering to a sustainable 4.0 model, focusing on aspects and technologies offering the most practical and useful application results for our customers.
Modularity, reconfigurability, interoperability, high information availability: we started addressing these issues many years ago, thanks to some regional and European research projects.
This is why we feel perfectly at ease with the fourth industrial revolution, equipped with an expertise mix enabling us to influence this change and drive towards continuous improvement of processes and productivity.
MODULARITY
Flexibility has always been the hallmark of our systems. To strengthen it, we adopt a modular approach: we design and manufacture each machine using standard functional units that can be selected, configured and interconnected according to customer’s requirements.
This makes the machine highly adaptable: it can be swiftly and easily reconfigured when production types and volumes change with no resource waste.
But it does not end here. The modular structure enables the acquisition of detailed data about the system: performance (KPI), anomalies and errors are detected for each unit. This means more accurate and efficient maintenance and diagnostics.
PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
Predictive maintenance is a pillar of Industry 4.0: by monitoring and analysing a machine’s state of health, it is possible to schedule its maintenance accurately before the onset of any fault that could cause serious productivity decrease.
Our “Impose” (Intelligent Masmec PrOgnostic SystEm) diagnostic system aims exactly at diagnosing well in advance the onset of faults and malfunctions, recommending the replacement or maintenance of components at risk, thus minimising a machine’s downtime. It is a physical plugin that can be easily installed even in pre-existing systems and its strength is its modular structure enabling the implementation of several diagnostic algorithms.
WEB-BASED INTERFACE
High accessibility and manageability of process information is crucial for systems efficiency; it enables operators to control functionality and make more timely and accurate decisions, as is the case with predictive maintenance.
We have developed a web-based interface enabling each device connected to the web and equipped with a browser to connect with the system and show in real time production data, wear and tear and technical documentation.
ADVANCED HMI
To make data even more usable, we developed a specific mobile device equipped with an advanced vision system capable of automatically recognising components, single stations and parts of the system and acquiring all available data in real time.
The device is a modular physical plugin, thus it can be adapted and scaled according to needs.
