New spaces have been created to host fully automated machines that are completely interconnected. Communication occurs between departments arranged across the three floors of the new buildings. With the Industry 4.0 factory concept, plant flexibility is such that products can be customized to each individual customer. Robots work and learn naturally from humans. The workflow is virtually reproduced to analyze its behavior in theory and optimize performance. The factory is capable of sourcing energy efficiently, minimizing waste and reducing costs as much as possible. With a production model based on \u201cjust-in-time\u201d principles, semi-finished panels are retrieved from the automated warehouse and processed by robotic systems to produce only the pieces that have been sold. On the upper floor, components are distributed across various departments, where they are customized according to customer specifications. The top level handles the assembly and packaging of the finished furniture elements. At the top level, assembly and packaging of the finished components take place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid”][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion shape=”square” c_align=”center” active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section tab_id=”1684511608074-47c88617-073f” title=”DISCOVER MORE”][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”17984″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Web Configurator<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n To manage the demand for unique and customized products distributed worldwide, Elli provides its sales network with design software interconnected with the factory. Each order is created starting from standard based models and then customized according to the final customer’s requests. Once submitted to the company servers, every detail is thoroughly checked by the technical offices, and production data are then sent directly to the factory.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Batch Size 1<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n In response to the growing requests for tailor-made products, the innovations introduced in the company make batch size 1 production possible, which in turn has a significant impact on logistics processes. Industry 4.0 brings digitalization, extensive automation, and networked connections between machines and systems. The factory works on orders, even for minimal quantities. Thanks to technological advancements, it is now possible to produce individual products tailored to each customer.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”17762″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”17920″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Lacquering robots <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The panels are lacquered with the colors required for the sold product. The operator does not come into contact with the painting area and monitors the process visually from outside. An optical scanner detects the shape of the panels to be processed and controls the robot, which sprays paint following the contours of the panels.
