Introduction

Gaser Ossido Duro Srl is a company specializing in metal surface treatments, particularly hard anodizing and anodic oxidation. It is part of the Gaser Group, an industrial reality of national reference in the field of galvanic and thermal treatments for the mechanical industry.

The problem

The company has embarked on a digitization journey, but currently scheduling and order management rely on the experience of managers, with tools that do not easily identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks. Current solutions are manual and tested directly in the real environment, with risks of wasted resources and failures.

The solution

The project involved the creation of a Digital Twin of an oxidation plant. This digital model will make it possible to simulate plant operation, optimize job scheduling, monitor efficiency, and reduce downtime and waste. It will also enable predictive analysis of failures and maintenance, reducing the risk of unplanned plant downtime.

Technologies

The project used Digital Twin technology, sensors for data collection, analysis platforms and advanced scheduling algorithms. Production layout simulations can thus be run in a virtual environment before being implemented in the real plant.

Desired Impacts

The implementation of Digital Twin will improve production efficiency, reducing wasted time, resources and energy. The use of equipment and raw materials will also be optimized, ensuring on-time delivery and improving product quality.

Benefits for the company

The project will improve business competitiveness by reducing inefficiencies, controlling costs and increasing production capacity. Predictive simulation will prevent downtime and failures, which will have a positive impact on process quality and sustainability.
