Frosio Bortolo is a company specialized in handle items and its main needs are the digitalization of the production process and a 360 degrees control of all the production steps.
The Frosio Bortolo group is a modern industrial reality in continuous evolution, more and more competitive on the international market thanks to an effective strategy of production diversification and to a team that integrates itself in order to offer a range of products that satisfies in the widest way the customer's needs. Today, the Frosio Bortolo company successfully distributes its door and window handles and accessories all over the world.

TOOLS for SMART MINDS is required for the collection, instant analysis and agile exchange of data.
The first step towards digitization was the interconnection of around 40 machines (including robot manipulators, machining centers and rotary tables) divided into four departments (grinding, machining, painting, assembly). Once surveyed, the company was able to benefit from the tax incentives offered by the Transition 4.0 plan.
T4SM has applied to the production structure of Frosio Bortolo srl simple solutions, scalable and in the future integrable not only to the company database but also to the MES.
All software also meet the requirements of the transition plan.

è una soluzione altamente intuitiva che permette al team aziendale un monitoraggio in tempo reale dell’intero impianto produttivo attraverso una visualizzazione semplice di tutti i dati di processo e produzione, come: lo stato macchina, la velocità della catena, l’articolo in produzione, il numero di pezzi prodotti e la presenza di eventuali allarmi;
schedula la produzione consentendo una gestione agile dell’intero flusso di lavoro aziendale. Permette inoltre di scrivere in macchina (il nome della commessa, l’articolo e il numero di pezzi produrre), rispettando così un requisito 4.0. In pochi secondi Frosio Bortolo può creare una nuova commessa, avviarla, visualizzarne l’andamento e specificare il numero di pezzi;
sono stati installati diversi pannelli operatore, per agevolare gli addetti nell’avvio di ordini di produzione direttamente a bordo macchina, monitorando il numero dei pezzi prodotti e i tempi di produzione.
