Meet the challenges of industrial manufacturing with Roboze 3D printing

The environment in which companies operate has profoundly changed, and with it the company organization has experienced a profound evolution. Over time, in fact, there has been a progressive shift of market control from the product to the customer and therefore to the final consumers.

Every day industrial production faces numerous challenges in order to be competitive and generate profits. Companies around the world work to create their own competitive advantage through the production of prototypes, innovative products and functional parts while ensuring high quality standards.

Roboze 3D printing technology allows you to meet the challenges of industrial manufacturing, increasing profits and eliminating the problems that frequently arise. Let's see together how.

Optimization of the supply chain and production processes

A company's supply chain is its backbone: it is essentially the path that a good takes, from the raw material to becoming a finished product.

Supply chain optimization is crucial as smoother processes guarantee a reduction of the inconveniences that can occur.

By implementing Roboze industrial 3D printing systems within your factory, you can create just in time and on demand parts, effectively reducing delivery and availability times, but above all relieving companies of all costs associated with the physical warehouse.

Traditional manufacturing vs additive manufacturing

Traditional manufacturing, in the context of the digitization of production processes, is subject to numerous and complex production systems and phases, which do not fit with current market demands. Additive manufacturing, on the other hand, offers a variety of advantages that meet the producers’ needs.

By implementing processes with Roboze 3D printers you can create an ecosystem completely focused on the precision, repeatability and control of the printing process, in a completely new way by cutting precious time and resources, eliminating machine downtime to obtain maximum production efficiency. In addition, the workforce can be allocated where needed, employing human resources in different tasks for greater business optimization.

Small production batches

Sometimes, industrial companies need to address requests for small production batches that significantly affect economies of scale. A strategy widely implemented in these situations, to minimize operating and production costs, is the supply of material even if not immediately necessary.

However, this modus operandi generates three main problems:

• An excessive initial cost that will not immediately turn into a profit; 
• Stock replenishment with associated very high unpredictable costs;
• A huge waste.

The Roboze Production series completely revolutionizes the concept of economy of scale: it is possible, in fact, to create small production batches while maintaining low operating costs but above all by producing only what is necessary and at the right time.

The digitization the warehouse is only one of the advantages that can be obtained: it is possible to concretely reduce the necessary operating times and costs by running production 24/7 with maximum efficiency.

From physical to digital warehouse

In a traditional supply chain, the production of spare parts takes place through mass production, which exploits economies of scale to reduce production and transport costs. Additive manufacturing changes everything, enabling a faster and more flexible approach.

Having with 3D printing the possibility of creating individual components with very low waiting times and at low cost, it becomes reasonable to integrate the physical warehouse with a digital inventory containing the three-dimensional models of the spare parts. In this way, companies can design their product centrally and have parts manufactured locally whenever and wherever they are needed, mitigating risks and costs related to inventory management.

The implications in terms of logistics are also significant, reducing the waiting time for the customer and reducing the carbon footprint of the goods.

Being able to operate independently, no longer having to be conditioned by external factors, allows you to better manage situations of uncertainty and criticality, avoiding that unforeseen events generate costs that could significantly affect the entire company system.
