The solution

unnamed

In Safilo, Galvanica Digitale deals with:

  • To plan and execute scheduled or automatically generated activities via system alerts
  • Providing operating procedures and directions for adding compounds to tanks.

In addition, employees can independently set activities, processes and thresholds to be respected, and monitor in real time via smartphones and tablets the plant activities, to maintain optimal process parameters. In this way it is possible to guarantee high quality standards of the finished product.

Galvanica Digitale can be integrated with machinery and is equipped with a Web App that facilitates the planning of activities in galvanic tanks and provides real-time notifications in case of anomalies. In this way, operators are given a complete overview of the activities carried out, helping to maintain stable chemical levels and avoid errors and product defects.

The results

The adoption of a digitalization process in galvanization has allowed Safilo to:

  1. Make a more precise control of the process parameters by reducing waste and optimizing the use of resources such as energy and chemical reagents, thus reducing costs (2% reduction in costs related to non-quality thanks to the punctual monitoring of the supply chain)
  2. Have a more responsible management of resources, reducing the environmental impact
  3. Record every step of the process in detail, facilitating compliance with regulations and quality standards

 

Make processes more flexible and adaptable to changes in customer specifications or market needs, improving competitiveness.
