Challenge:

The worldwide market for household appliances goes through disruptive changes: The number of consumers arising from the Asian and African continent for the European and US market is enormous. In addition, the requirements of the traditional buyers are increasing too: Higher variety is demanded, sustainability creates more and more bio-products, recyclable packages are a must. This all leads to a boost in variations for the production.

Customer-orientated design and marketing have become increasingly important in the area of household appliances. Production managers for dishwashers or electric cookers are facing problems such as the assembly of customized corporate prints and covers as simple and standardized as possible and to reduce the inspection effort to a minimum without heavy investments of the current production line.

In order to minimize production costs a highly integrated and sophisticated solution is necessary!
