At SIGI Europe Ängelholm, a transformative project led by production supervisor Jimmy Sjöstrand has not only revamped our facility but also enhanced the products we deliver.
This initiative has significantly improved our welding area, introducing enhanced working conditions, a cutting-edge laser welding system, and major gains in productivity and safety. Additionally, the use of exoskeleton suits now offloads muscle stress and improves ergonomics, creating a healthier work environment and ensuring high quality.
Enhanced Capabilities and Efficiency
“I am so proud,” Jimmy states, his enthusiasm palpable as he shows off the new welding space and demonstrates the effectiveness of the exoskeleton suits. “This project was like changing the engine of a car while speeding down the highway. We managed to keep breaking production records while making these big changes, thanks to excellent planning and the determination of our team.” This means quicker turnaround times and superior product quality, as these improvements allow us to handle specialized tasks more efficiently and expand our capabilities.
Improved Working Environment
The introduction of exoskeleton suits has been a game-changer for our team, enabling them to work longer hours with less fatigue. This translates into consistent product quality and reliability, as our staff can maintain high levels of productivity in optimal working conditions.
A Commitment to Sustainability
By reducing energy consumption by 30% and cutting waste by up to 50%, we’re not just saving costs—we’re minimizing our environmental footprint. This sustainable approach ensures that the products are produced responsibly and can contribute to sustainability goals.
Technological Enhancements and Productivity Gains
The new laser welding system marks a significant upgrade in our manufacturing process. “This latest investment lets us do special types of work in entirely new ways, speeding up tasks without sacrificing quality,” Jimmy explains. This innovation allows us to undertake projects that were previously not feasible, providing unique solutions and enhanced product options.
Expanding Capacity and Embracing Sustainability
With the addition of three new welding areas, we’ve significantly increased our capacity. “With the same number of workers, we’ve managed to boost our output by 20%,” says Jimmy. This expansion means we can fulfill orders more quickly and efficiently, supporting business growth and operational needs.
This project at Ängelholm isn’t just about updating a factory—it’s about creating a model for the future of manufacturing that directly enhances the value offered through continuous improvement and sustainable practices. We are committed to delivering not only more efficient but also more enjoyable products and services.
