How can I efficiently manage the variety of automation systems and manufacturing technologies in my plant?

Due to its technological diversity and manufacturer neutrality, a large part of the tasks, specific for the sheet metal processing, can be efficiently carried out with FASTSUITE Edition 2. This allows you to avoid isolated solutions of different software systems for different plants and ensures consistency for plant programming.

Support of almost all sheet metal processing technologies

Manufacturer-neutral and homogeneous software landscape

Avoidance of different manufacturing software

How can FASTSUITE Edition 2 help me to digitize the entire manufacturing process and make it more efficient at the same time?

FASTSUITE Edition 2 does not only support you in offline programming: Feasibility studies can also be carried out in the early quotation phase to verify reachability easily and quickly in the digital model and to create precisely fitting fixtures for the component.

Simple execution of feasibility studies

Digital fixture construction

Digital process flow

How can manufacturing downtimes be avoided ?

The semi-automated offline programming and the simple operating concept of the FASTSUITE Edition 2 will help you to achieve the desired robot program quickly and easily. As a result, even components with low quantities and small batch sizes can be programmed and produced with maximum efficiency.

Maximum efficiency increase for low quantities and small batch sizes

Maximum utilization of productivity

Reduction of manual production steps
