Reliable production
Good cooperation
Challenge
Due to challenges in production and a production flow that was not optimally utilized, Norwegian company Dokka Fasteners sought an optimisation solution to future-proof production. It was crucial to ensure that the newly implemented solution was fully utilized.
Solution
The implementation of an optimisation project, led by technicians from BILA Service, allowed Dokka to identify and map optimisation opportunities in production. The most positive outcome was the subsequent streamlining of processes in the facility.
Profit
After completing the performance check, Dokka has achieved an improvement in output with an efficiency gain of 25%. BILA Service has ensured sustained and secure operation, increased speed, and extended runtime.
For the Norwegian bolt manufacturer, Dokka Fasteners, BILA Service has completed a reconstruction project for their Kawasaki robots in the galvanizing facility of bolt production, handling the company's high-quality bolts. In addition to the investment in the new, refurbished robot solution, Dokka sought optimised production.
Rune Andre Furuseth, who is Maintenance Supervisor at Dokka, explains: "When you have production with automation solutions, there is a strong focus on uptime, output, and efficiency. With the implementation of new robot technology, we wanted to ensure that our facility provided the most optimal yield. BILA Service could also assist us in this aspect. A review of production ultimately resulted in increased efficiency."
Optimisation project resulted in a 25% efficiency gain
With challenges in production and a production flow that was not optimally utilized, Dokka was looking for optimisation to future-proof production.
"It's not enough for production to run as it should. It should be able to perform at its best – and that required a performance check. Through an optimisation project conducted by technicians from BILA Service, we mapped out optimisation opportunities in production – and, best of all, subsequently streamlined processes in the facility,"
