SARGOMMA: a new fully Industry 4.0 production model
2021
The Challenge
Sargomma is an Italian SME specialized in the production of rubber and plastic components for the automotive, industrial, earthmoving, and marine sectors. In 2017, the company launched a digital transformation journey with the goal of evolving into a smart factory.
The opportunity arose during the upgrade of an existing production line, which involved the purchase of two next-generation machines to be connected to the company’s ERP system.
The Solution
The entire project was carried out with the support of Orchestra, whose technology enabled not only the integration of the newly installed machines, but also the digital interconnection of legacy industrial equipment already in use.
Thanks to this solution, Sargomma successfully established full connectivity between the ERP system and the shop floor, enabling a seamless flow of data across all production processes.
The Benefits
This digitalization initiative allowed Sargomma to significantly enhance its production performance, transforming the existing line into a smart, interconnected system.
Real-time data provided by the system gives Sargomma:
- Full visibility and control over the progress of each production batch,
- Accurate and timely tracking of all scheduled work orders,
- Optimized raw material procurement, reducing waste and delays,
- A powerful tool for the logistics department, enabling efficient planning of customer shipments.
