Vauché began its transformation several years ago. This is why it now uses digital technology as a major driver of growth and competitiveness. Gaetan Mangel, head of the research department, confirms that Vauché’s digital transition was an absolute necessity to ensure the company’s long-term viability.
Indeed, businesses today must integrate new digital practices to remain competitive in the face of global competition. “It is essential to embrace this transformation or risk being left behind,” explains Mr. Mangel. Therefore, to remain successful, one must keep pace with the trend, or even anticipate it.
Vauché has deployed numerous innovative solutions to successfully complete its transformation. For example, it now has 17 Solidworks licenses. The company opted for this 3D design software to increase efficiency and optimize its working time.
Production flows are now simplified:
The solutions allow for 3D drawing without the need for manual detailed plans.
Manufacturing is automated directly from the digital models.
The teams design products faster with increased accuracy.
In addition, you can view our sorting center projects to see these technologies in action.
Digital technology is essential for design, but it’s equally important for management. With this in mind, the company invested in an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. This tool automates bills of materials, purchasing, and orders.
According to Gaetan Mangel, this management tool was essential for automating repetitive tasks. Thanks to this, employees save valuable time and improve operational efficiency. To learn more about the importance of ERP systems, visit Cadware’s dedicated website.
Vauché aims to further enhance machine autonomy. Currently, the engineering department is working on real-time alert solutions for clients. The goal is to ensure preventative maintenance to anticipate any potential breakdowns.
Specifically, the research focuses on:
Vibration analysis of the components.
Bearing temperature control.
The operator is immediately alerted in case of a shortage.
Ultimately, the integrator’s support was essential to this success. “Cadware is a full-fledged partner who supports us in case of difficulties,” concludes Gaetan Mangel.
