About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

Improvements to the work process are essential for continuously ensuring product quality, especially in processes such as rolling. In rolling, the material is formed using a working machine – a rolling mill, which transforms the material with its force and precise adjustment of the rollers. In the production of foils, consistency and precise monitoring of process parameters are particularly important, as any deviation can cause major deficiencies. The final phase of production, which includes cutting and packaging of the material, requires special attention. During this procedure, non-quality or damaged coils must be inspected and removed to ensure the highest quality for the customer.

Problem

Improvements to the work process are essential for continuously ensuring product quality, especially in processes such as rolling. In rolling, the material is formed using a working machine – a rolling mill, which transforms the material with its force and precise adjustment of the rollers. Improvements are necessary due to numerous factors that affect material quality.

Identifying these factors is essential, as their elimination can achieve better utilisation of machines and reduce material damage in the process. It is also necessary to identify other key factors that affect the final quality of the material and determine critical points where damage or irregularities frequently occur. Based on analyses of collected data, it is possible to find optimal solutions for improvement.

The work process at the rolling mill includes several steps, so precise data collection is indispensable. With the help of modern technology, numerous data are recorded automatically. By analysing deviations and adjusting technological parameters, it is possible to improve product quality and reduce deficiencies.

It is important that technological parameters are aligned as closely as possible with ideal values, as minimal deviations strongly affect the quality of the final product.

Solution and Method

In the production of foils, consistency and precise monitoring of process parameters are particularly important, as any deviation can cause major deficiencies. Further operations, such as transfer of material to other production procedures, also have a significant impact on quality. Transfers represent a possibility of damage due to working equipment or incorrect handling.

Results

The final phase of production, which includes cutting and packaging of the material, requires special attention. During this procedure, non-quality or damaged coils must be inspected and removed to ensure the highest quality for the customer. By reducing damage and irregularities in all phases of the process, it is possible to reduce the quantity of scrap, which directly reduces company costs.

Systematic monitoring of the work process enables faster implementation of improvements and elimination of problems. Precise data collection and their analysis are therefore essential for process development, cost reduction and achieving high product quality. With careful planning and implementation of changes, it is possible to increase production efficiency and customer satisfaction.
