INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION PROMOTES SMART WORKING
Optimises production processes and limits supervision
Industrial automation favors smart working, because it allows a company to be operational even when man is absent. By integrating a CNC machine fleet and, in particular, customized robotic islands, production processes are optimized and the work can continue 24h without supervision, or in any case limiting the supervision activity. There is never a stop to production, even during holidays or weekends, because monitoring is also done remotely.
The addition of a robotic cell to a CNC machine tool greatly improves the workflow and ensures high productivity, through a constant repetition of the quality of the final product.
A new work management system
Industry 4.0 tools, including robots, enhance smart working. An online and remote work management system, which allows the company to offer its customers an increasingly appropriate service and tailored to their needs. How? Through virtual circuits always active, that they comprise: real-time management of the warehouse, analysis of the data, marketing, purchases, commissioning trouble-shooting. This management of work results in considerable savings on travel for the company and, consequently, in greater profit.
Smart workers allow a 24-hour presence for the management of sales and support activities, in particular for businesses that have international contacts.
New needs, new professional roles
Unlike what one might think, industrial automation inevitably generates new areas of expertise and, therefore, new jobs. There are often real debates on the subject, with rather radical currents of thought that the integration of robots in the company is one of the main causes of staff cuts. It’s not like that! The conversion of an enterprise into a smart factory, with the introduction of robotic islands in the assembly line, creates as many professional roles at the forefront to meet new technological needs. Most industries will always need human operators alongside their robots.
Turn your business into a smart factory
Thanks to the know-how accumulated over 20 years of work, we at Assistec support you during all the phases of design and installation of the robotized island, to ensure that it is best suited to your production line. All the Industry 4.0 solutions we develop, such as the Robofeed line (link to section), guarantee the best results and are customized according to the production process and reference sector.

CNC programming: a complete guide
Programming a computer numerical control machine, also known as a CNC machine, is not a simple operation, and requires a certain amount of experience in the field. When we talk about CNC programming, we’re referring to the process of creating computer commands, generally G-codes, used to control these automated production tools, able to carry out precise and complex operations, often for the metalworking sector, such as cutting, milling and drilling on a variety of materials. These instructions include: information on the movements of the tool, the speed of the spindle, feed rates, tool changes and other parameters necessary to carry out a particular process. Each process in the programming of the CNC machine tool is carried out using an integrated electronic device, usually an on-board computer.

A single, evolved partner
Since it was founded 25 years ago, Assistec has developed its service offering with increasingly innovative proposals. Today, the company also stands out by offering modular robot cells and an advanced service concept

Evolution is the basis of adaptation and survival of species. It applies in biology as well as in economic and industrial dynamics: markets change, technologies update, companies evolve.
Antonio La Placa's story is a striking example of this evolutionary capacity: after gaining extensive experience in Germany as a FANUC technician, in 1998 he returned to Italy where he founded Assistec. Initially focused on the electronic technical support of CNC machine tools for chip removal equipped with FANUC components (numerical controls, motors, drives, power supplies, electronic boards), he soon expanded his offer with additional, increasingly advanced services. -
From 06 to 08 March at Bolognafiere, MECSPE 2024, the largest event dedicated to innovations for the manufacturing industry, returns.
Assistec will be present at the exhibition with a stand in Hall 30, Stand A54.At the Assistec stand you will be able to discover the latest in automation and control systems for the manufacturing industry.
