Programming software in the electromechanical sector: the Came case

APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling), Electromechanical Sector

Came Spa, a company based in Vicenza with a turnover of 136 million euros and 250 employees, active in the electromechanical sector, has been successfully involved in the production of windings for electric motors since 1977. Four factories in the province of Vicenza, three dedicated to windings and one to die casting, are today the tangible sign of a solid, dynamic reality that is now prepared for the great challenges of a constantly evolving global economy.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULER: CYBERPLAN

 
Came has been successfully using CyberPlan as an advanced production scheduling software since 2010.

“Before the implementation of CyberPlan we mainly used a MES sequencer from an external vendor, with the support of numerous Excel files for planning. The difficulties we encountered on a daily basis were mainly related to the effort in terms of time needed for the programming and scheduling of production that did not allow us to dedicate ourselves to other activities with higher value. Although we were constantly focused on the data, we could not obtain satisfactory results in terms of setup optimization and service level.”

Stefano Rossato, General Manager of Came Spa, tells

us”Deciding to improve the process, we inquired about any products available on the market, identifying six possible alternatives. Our choice fell on CyberPlan and Cybertec, which from the first meetings proved to be a structured reality and specialized in Supply Chain Optimization. The objectives shared at the beginning of the project included an initial scheduling of the most delicate departments and the process of dating sales orders. The implementation was successful  both technically and functionally, as a relationship of trust andcollaboration between us and  Cybertec was established immediately.”

RESULTS WITH CYBERPLAN

Thanks to the use of Cybertec’s finite capacity planning and scheduling solutions, it was able to achieve its objectives in a short time.

“To date, we have managed to achieve most of the ambitious goalswe had set ourselves from the beginning: the scheduling of the most critical departments and the beginning of the dating process. All this has led to a qualitatively and quantitatively better planning and scheduling of production. Already after the first months, the need to use Excel files to support planning has been eliminated, simultaneously reducing set-up times and increasing the service level by about 5 percentage points. With future activities already planned, we plan to extend CyberPlan scheduling to all production departments and refine the dating logic.”

CAME SPA: SYNONYM FOR WINDING FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS

Came Spa is synonymous with windings for electric motors. This is the company’s specification, which has shaped it since 1977. But if in the seventies it was the only business, the continuous growth and economic results have brought Came Spa to an industrial dimension of excellence.

This has led it to expand its production to offer a 360-degree service on all components for electric motors: die castings, wound stators, rotors with shaft, enclosed stators with related machining, shields, machined flanges, terminal block applications, threads and various assemblies.

The complete customer service, experience and quality of the products offered have led Came Spa to be the leader in a difficult and highly competitive market.

Four factories in the province of Vicenza, three dedicated to windings and one to die casting, are today the tangible sign of a solid, dynamic reality that is now prepared for the great challenges of a constantly evolving global economy.
