c o n n e c T i v i T y – Global networking

FORCAM is now one of the world’s leading providers

of manufacturing intelligence solutions. Today, there are more than

60,000 machines connected with FORCAM technology worldwide.

With branches all over Europe, the USA and Asia and representation

of a vast partner network manufacturers can enjoy carefree

support service when needed.

ProducTiviTy as a compeTiTive facTor

Lean manufacturing is as important as ever. The leaner your pro-

duction, the better you will compete on price and quality.

To achieve such operational excellence manufacturers require

accurate data straight from the shop floor. Each production step

must be well documented to ensure transparent production

processes. With the help of Advanced Shop Floor Management

Technology downtime, error rates and waste can be immediately

recognized and prevented. The term „Industrie 4.0“ basically means

nothing else than the networking of your machinery. From anywhere

in the world you can enjoy access to your production data, which

ensures flexibility and control.

Your partner on the way to Industrie 4.0 – creating your Smart

Factory – is FORCAM. Since 2001 we have been developing intelli-

gent shop floor solutions for the industry, including the automotive,

aerospace & defense, medical and oil & gas sectors. Whatever

you manufacture – we will be there to help you achieve greater

productivity.

We Deliver Results in Productivity.

BaTch for BaTch To The SmarT FacTory

Especially in discrete manufacturing an effi-cient, easily controllable production process is important.

FORCAM FORCE™ facilitates global analysis of production processes across the value chain and locations. In addition, role-based access of production data is possible from any smart device.

“ Looking back, the biggest surprise has been finding that the ‘real numbers’ on shop productivity and machine utilization were not as high as managers thought. We figured that our machines were cutting metal about 50 percent or so over two shifts. It was more like 40 percent when monitoring first started. It is now higher than 55 percent and climbing."

Bill Metz, VP of Operations Richards Industries

Moving SmarT ManufacTuring Forward

Cars are very important to us. After all, FORCAM’s first customer was Mercedes- Benz. The Untertürkheim plant in Germany has also earned the award of „Factory of the Year“ since then. Today, FORCAM is moving smarter production for manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive industry with big productivity increases forward.A

“ Within a year, our stamping facilities were producing 20 percent more parts. With figures like that, you know that the investment in a new software architecture has really paid off."

Axel Bienhaus, Head of Central Operational Management at the Press Plant Division of Audi AG

aiming high

There is hardly any industry sector in which innovation is as important as in the aero- space and defense industry. Manufacturers across the supply chain are faced with chal-lenges such as parts complexity, capacity constraints, and production speed – to name a few. FORCAM offers robust technology solutions to support lean and timely manufac-turing. A
