Today the leather goods and footwear sectors are driven to take the big step towards the use of Industry 4.0 machinery.
The production systems must necessarily evolve, keeping in mind that the product they’re dealing with leather, which is an artisanal material, naturally alive and ever-changing. That’s why Galli Spa, a leading player in the market for the design, production and sale of leather goods machinery since 1979, has launched a process of integration and interconnection for Industry 4.0, aimed at supporting the manufacturing companies through the optimizing of their production process.
After the acquisition of Overmec and its merger with Galli, the need to integrate all systems both from a structural and interconnection point of view according to the Industry 4.0 model was even more crucial. From the evolution of the organization needs of production processes, new software platforms for data management and real-time machines monitoring have been developed. These platforms can be integrated with most of the ERP/MES systems on the market, thus making possible to control multiple production sites, departments or processing lines.
The green side has not been forgotten: as a matter of fact, these technologies offer the possibility of reducing waste and scraps, saving both time and material. Highly appreciated qualities in a world that is increasingly attentive to consumption, environmental impact and processing times.
The next goal will be the upgrade to a predictive maintenance both on an ordinary and extraordinary basis. Foreseeing problems and solve them in advance will be unbeatable tools. This will allow to counter malfunctions and unpleasant production downtimes, ensuring considerable savings in terms of time and money.
