New production equipment worth two million euros was launched at Inission Tallinn Mechanical Plant, which will help increase the production capacity of sheet metal products by 20%. The investment includes four production machines, including a robot work centre that is unique in the Baltics.
According to Nadežda Dementyeva, Managing Director at Inission Tallinn, the focus of the company celebrating its 15th birthday this year will be on automation, robotization and digitalization of production.
– The major investment will increase the production capacity of the Lagedi plant engaged in sheet metal processing and significantly expand our product portfolio. The new Amada and LVD devices represent the latest in industrial technology and are part of the concept smart industry. The factory’s production is used in a variety of fields, including computers, servers, power substations and cabinets and other products requiring thin metal.
Among the new additions is an Amada Combilaser equipped with an automatic carousel tool warehouse, the first of its kind, not only in the Baltics but also within the Inission group. The device uses automatic stamp blade exchange robotic arms, which serve a carousel warehouse with more than 400 tools.
According to Kristo Piksar, Chief Technology Officer at Inission Tallinn, the new production equipment will significantly increase the efficiency.
– It´s possible to work on fully automated lines for up to a week, without human intervention, until the materials run out.
Monitoring of the robot work centre is carried out by cameras from behind the office desktop, where it is also possible to monitor the efficiency of machines in real time. Previously, it took up to five hours to prepare the program, depending on the complexity of the product, which means significant time savings.
In addition to the robots available at the factory, a new LVD robot centre was also acquired.
– Artificial intelligence analyses the detail produced and creates a solution within a couple of minutes, which is the best way to bend that detail by selecting the tools and the order in which they are used. In doing so, artificial intelligence also considers how the robot’s movement in bending would be the most efficient and energy-efficient, says Piksar, explaining the logic of using an artificial hive in production.
Preliminary work on the introduction of new machines took several months, during which all the infrastructure, including electrical and compressed air systems, was rebuilt. The number of employees remains the same but working with machines required separate training with representatives of manufacturers in England and Belgium.
Inission Tallinn has been operating in Estonia for 15 years and has increased sales volume and turnover more than twice in the last two years. Estonian factories export their products to the European, Asian and US markets.
