Digitalization of assembly processes: Space customer case study

Challenges

• Anticipate and automate checks on metrology equipment in order to reduce quality gaps
• Ensure tool tracking in order to reduce search times
• Simplify and digitalize logistics processes

Solutions

A single solution to respond to all three use cases by digitalizing monitoring and calibration, and automating inventories:

• Installation of smart RFID XL Cabinets and XD/XDS Roller Cabinets to secure and track all movements of tools and metrology equipment (Who, What, When, Where)
• Deployment of RFID Counters to monitor store entries and exits
• NEXCAP® Mobile Asset Tracking solutions for logistics
• Over 30,000 items of equipment digitized and contextualized, according to use cases (tools, metrology, logistics) in a single NEXCAP® database
• Regular software development since 2013 in response to specific customer use cases
• NEXCAP®IOT, for collecting, processing, and highlighting data
• Software interface between NEXCAP®IOT and Gosweb software

Advantages

• +40% additional productivity
• -10% inventory costs.
