Speech 2
Shopfloor Excellence
Target: 15% cost reduction! – the continuous improvement process (CIP) is not a sprint. It is a marathon: from single data point to key performance indicator to sustainable CIP. This has been successfully implemented in HELLER production. Our knowledge and experience are captured in the Shopfloor Excellence best practice model. And that’s what this presentation and the live tour of production is all about: “How can I use digitalisation to increase production efficiency in a sustainable way?”

Speech 3
Technology Excellence
The interaction between the machine tool and process application is the key to cost effective production. Transparency of the machining process enables analysis and optimal adjustment of process parameters. Our high-performance machines combine expertise in tool technology, clamping technology and metrology with metal cutting know-how. Find out more about the potential we see in working together and visit our Technology Centre to see specific applications.
Speaker:
Lars Rittel – HELLER
Speech 4
Digital Twin
See the application of a digitalisation solution in action! Achieve efficient job preparation, accurate validation and optimised machining processes with the Digital Twin as a controller-identical NC programming station. Visualisation of the work area and the chip removal process on the workpiece enables time-saving and safe running-in at the machine. Detect errors that could lead to machine downtime, workpiece damage or even costly collisions on CNC machines – all BEFORE the actual machining takes place.
