EU FUNDS

Project implemented with European Union funds under the European Funds for Eastern Poland Programme 2021-2027 | Priority: Entrepreneurship and Innovation | Measure: Automation and Robotization in SMEs | Call number: FEPW.01.02-IP.01-001/23

The investment concerns the implementation of recommended actions - included in the enterprise transformation roadmap - enabling the introduction of process automation and robotization into the plant - including the implementation of process | product innovations.

The technological transformation is linked to the implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions, which will directly contribute to the positive transformation of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship towards sustainable development. The project is based, among other things, on the robotization of key production processes at ZMP SARD using a tailor-made mobile robotic station designed to perform various tasks, such as comprehensive measurement of details and elements with complex geometry created using CNC technology, unloading and loading of details and elements to and from the machine, and fast and efficient packaging of details and elements. Ultimately, an integrated system for manufacturing high-quality precision-turned metal details and elements, implemented through the combination of advanced CNC machines, a multifunctional 6-axis industrial robot with a maximum position repeatability of +|– 0.03 mm, a vision system for scanning details, a measurement system, control and CAM systems, and a tailor-made machine monitoring system, will ensure effective and efficient metal production and improve the quality of manufactured parts. metal elements with complex geometry - with 100% repeatability and accuracy of execution.

The project's goal is to positively transform the plant based on the automation of key production processes. The project is crucial for transforming production processes, positively impacting the degree of Industry 4.0 technology adoption within the plant and improving employee employment conditions through automation and robotization. Flexible metal production will be introduced, continuously adapted to customer requirements and achieving increasingly higher performance indicators, resulting in high production efficiency while minimizing costs. The purchase of a custom-made 6-axis robot, dedicated machinery, and ICT will enable the implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions, optimizing metal production, increasing production quality and efficiency, and significantly increasing the plant's competitiveness, supporting the circular economy.

The end result of the transformation towards Industry 4.0 will enable the plant to expand its offer with innovative product services, enter new markets (automotive | aviation) and open up to PREMIUM customer service.
