• A buzzing shop floor * Integrated software for higher productivity * More automation and smart manufacturing solutions * How the digital manufacturing process works * Growing business with digital manufacturing – W.A. Pfeiffer

By Okay Yaramanoglu How can a small part manufacturing company compete globally? Many manufacturers are faced with this question as the future of their business depends on it. Konstruktions Praxis, a German magazine that covers “everything design engineers need”, explained in a recent article titled: “Connectivity opens up growth opportunities” how W.A. Pfeiffer, manufacturer of high precision components, is able to grow their business and stay competitive by implementing an end-to-end CAD-CAM-C

For Andreas Pfeiffer, the investment in the new software has already paid off – “Just by analyzing our processes during the implementation, we were able to improve many processes.” His co-workers have accepted these new tools as well: “We no longer have duplicate data storage; we have much better transparency across all processes. I expect that we will be able to reduce setup times by up to 50% overall.” Read the full German article on Konstruktions Praxis or view the English pdf below: Loading.
