For our customers, we achieve the greatest benefits of collaboration as a vertically integrated partner for re-engineering, sourcing and production, quality control and logistics. Here, we take into account all customer-specific requirements in terms of performance, quality, efficiency and reliability, from enquiry to finished product.
Benefit now from our extensive experience of 20+ years in technical optimisation and project implementation, with engineers in Germany and Switzerland, as well as on site in Asia. Optimising your products with our “view from the outside”, we will earn you substantial savings.
TECHNICAL OPTIMISATION
Redesign with cross-industry experience
In re-engineering, we look at your products from various perspectives and develop new solutions.
These are reviewed in advance with the audited manufacturing partners in terms of feasibility, compliance with the required product specifications, and cost optimisation – aided by computer simulations, modelling and prototyping.
TECHNICAL OPTIMISATION
Special focus on visible surfaces
For improved cost effectiveness, we identify and quantify all relevant cost components, such as labour input, machines and equipment, etc.
Here, particular attention is paid to the material, the surfaces visible to the end customer, and the tolerances affecting the functions of the parts. For this, we define with our customer the surfaces visible to the end customer. During manufacturing, these surfaces receive the necessary attention in terms of handling, quality control and packaging. The tolerances are defined with the customer so that the required quality is achieved with stable manufacturing processes and favourable unit prices.
COST EFFECTIVENESS
Our customers’ implemented projects
We implement more than 500 projects per year for our customers, in which we achieve notable cost savings.
The manufacturing costs were to be reduced for a powder-coated, CNC-machined pressure-cast part made of aluminium. It was essential for the customer to meet a defined target price for the part and for the new generation of the machine to become more cost-efficient than its predecessor.
The customer engineering on the drawing defines the manufacturing process as pressure casting, coating, and then milling. This involves costly manual masking of milled functional surfaces.
An extremely complex milled part is created exclusively by CNC-machining. This removes 10 kg of filings. This process causes very long manufacturing times of approx. 4 hours per part. The high-strength aluminium part has approx. 400 drawing dimensions, of which 80 are defined as functionally critical.
By transferring the task to the novia Group, the costs were reduced by a factor of 4. However, we see even further potential savings for the customer.
