Case Study

Safe and efficient implementation of quality standards

BERNINA: Gap closed between design, production and quality department.

Automated and continuous ballooning across revision levels.

Transparency increases the level of quality, including that of purchased parts.

 

Challenges

Design and manufacturing at BERNINA follow the motto "Turning creative ideas into technical reality".  Accordingly, the company pursues the constant optimization of processes..

  • Search for solution that ensures that even after drawing changes, the features retain the originally assigned numbers
  • Optimization of statistical quality evaluation
  • Improving the quality of purchased parts
  • Immense amount of time required for stamping the approximately 1,300 different series products
“We were also able to connect our rather inflexible CAQ system. Now the inspection characteristics are automatically transferred to the CAQ system and supplemented there with the required inspection equipment. This is how inspections can be automated.“
