FOR YEARS COMMITTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES, MAIN GROUP KEEPS ON INVESTING IN RESEARCH AND INNOVATION TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND FACILITATE THE OPERATORS’ WORK
Investing in ever-increasing automation results in an increase of operational efficiency: thanks to a rapid and unceasing workflow, production times are reduced and greater quality of the finished product combined with faster delivery times is guaranteed. With these goals in mind, Main Group has conceived a specific know-how in the development of tools for the automation of the footwear production process, offering customers support in the design and construction of the systems. Various options are offered by the Veneto-based company, all of which can be customized according to customer needs: machines such as Pragma, the top of the range for the direct injection of soles in mixed materials, can be combined with robots that make siliconization and more precise carding, as well as a series of applications that optimize the injection process. Furthermore, it is possible to create truly automated production lines, which reduce operator intervention to a minimum. They are modular structures and fully customizable based on individual production needs. Among the available options, pick and place robots for positioning and moving the molds or mold heating and cooling units to speed up processes.
The integration of automated systems also reduces the inevitable human errors in the most critical phases of the process, bringing unprecedented precision to the production of footwear, which results in the quality of the final product, very high. Thanks to the Main Group tools, production flexibility and adaptability is also improved, as is it possible to quickly switch from one type of footwear to another.
