Supplier gets ready for the future
15 March 2010
Preh GmbH, with headquarters in Bad Neustadt a.d. Saale, Germany, develops and manufactures driver control and vehicle sensor systems as well as controllers and assembly systems for the automobile industry, and recently upgraded production with a SIPLACE SX 2/SX 1 combination.
After the decision for SIPLACE machines to be installed in the Preh factory in Trofa, Portugal, Preh GmbH decided to invest in new SIPLACE SX placement machines for the headquarters in Bad Neustadt in order to be able to produce its rising order volume on time in 2010.
The critical factors for the SIPLACE SX line were the new models’ high flexibility and performance as well as their high placement quality. Wolfgang Storath, Preh’s Head of Electronic Assembly, is impressed by the new SIPLACE SX modules: “The new machines with their capacity-on-demand concept enable us to respond with exceptional flexibility to the kind of order fluctuations we have to deal with a lot in the automotive supply industry. We were particularly impressed by the high performance and reliability of the SIPLACE SX machines and by the outstanding cooperation with the SIPLACE people – from the line's design to its installation.”
The new SIPLACE SX is the world’s first placement platform that lets the user scale placement performance and capacity independently and on demand. The interchangeable SIPLACE SX gantries, the new SIPLACE MultiStar CPP head, flexible set-up and line concepts and SIPLACE rental services permit electronics manufacturers to let their production ‘breathe’ in line with their order situation. To add, reduce or transfer performance between lines, the self-calibrating, rail-mounted SX gantries can be installed and uninstalled by a single person in less than 30 minutes. To meet short-term demand peaks, users can rent gantries from SIPLACE or use them for a longer period of time with the special ‘floating demand’ concept, enabling them to turn fixed asset costs into variable costs in the future.
