Why manufacturing needs data-led sustainability goals

As a society, we are all working towards shared sustainability goals. Whether that is to limit global warming to make the switch to electrified transport or as part of nation-specific net-zero targets, the world shares a common objective. In addition to focusing on global goals, manufacturers should have their own sustainability targets and crucially, these must be led by data.

Time savings by means of integrated production chains

There are different approaches to further increase the efficiency of production processes, for example by integrating as many process steps as possible into one machine. However, from a technical point of view, this is complex and inflexible, and thus unreliable. Therefore, Kapp Niles envisions integrated production chains with as little manual handling between individual chain links as possible.

Sheet metal knowledge at the push of a button

To ensure that bending does not turn into breaking, a great deal of know-how is required in sheet metal processing. However, this is mostly in the minds of experienced sheet metal specialists who are gradually retiring. With the departure of the know-how carriers, the wealth of experience gained over many years is disappearing.
