Frequent job changes – can it be automised?
PCam automates a complete production process for individual parts. In the process, a job manager optimises the sequence of jobs and machining operations. Automating toolmaking requires machine and process know-how. An increase in productivity of up to 50% is easily possible!
The trigger for the Industry 4.0 initiative was the competitiveness with decreasing batch sizes. PCam SA has been automating entire production processes for small batch sizes and frequently changing orders for several years. It thus increases productivity by up to 50%!

The implementation is mostly done with existing production equipment. For example, milling and turning machines, eroding machines, 3D measuring machines, washing systems, etc. are controlled via a job manager (software). If a produced part is out of tolerance, it is automatically reworked. A job manager optimises the sequence of orders and machining operations so that deadlines are met with optimum utilisation. The process from order receipt to the finished product is fully automated in the sense of Industry 4.0. The ROI (return on investment) is between 12 and 15 months!

The process know-how and in-depth knowledge of machines and production facilities in mechanical manufacturing are the reason why Quinx AG has entered into a strategic partnership with PCam. The customer benefits from the accumulated know-how of both companies in the handling of controlled systems and machines as well as in data processing. Quinx AG represents PCam in German- and French-speaking Switzerland.
