Assessment of your production line’s current state

Our assessment services analyze existing production lines in terms of energy, safety, and quality.
The goal is to identify optimization potential and derive concrete retrofit concepts.

  • Energy: Identification of energy losses and development of efficient measures to reduce consumption and costs.
  • Safety: Evaluation of safety-related risks and recommendations for modernization to improve occupational safety and equipment availability.
  • Quality: Analysis of process weaknesses aimed at improving product quality, customer satisfaction, and overall competitiveness.

Part wise integration of new AUTEFA Solutions machines in existing lines

Partial integration of new AUTEFA Solutions machines into existing production lines offers numerous advantages. One such advantage is that it allows individual machines in the line to be upgraded independently, without having to replace the entire line at once. This approach can help to minimize disruption to ongoing production and reduce downtime, resulting in improved productivity and efficiency.

The part-wise integration of new AUTEFA Solutions machines offers a cost-effective, flexible, and efficient way to upgrade and improve existing production lines, helping companies to remain competitive and meet evolving market demands.
