WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Far
East Foam, one of the largest foam product manufacturers in
South East Asia, has selected
Plataine's AI digital manufacturing software solution to optimize
their production lines and automate manual processes. The result
will be improved efficiency and reduced material waste, as well as
full visibility across all production lines. Based in Vietnam, Far East Foam prides itself on its
manufacturing prowess and has historically been at the forefront of
the adoption of new manufacturing technologies.
Plataine was selected due to its strong expertise of AI-based
solutions to optimize production operations. Plataine's solution
integrates with existing systems to automatically gather all the
information and work orders to automatically create the most
optimized work process possible, using advanced AI-based
algorithms. The result is optimized dynamic cut plans that maximize
material yield and throughput, while keeping complete traceability
to ensure quality consistency. In addition, automated processes
save valuable time of the operators, enabling them to focus on
operating cutting machines at high capacity, rather than manually
creating cut plans.
The increased efficiency will generate cost savings at Far East
Foam. Additionally, the system automatically maintains a complete
Digital Thread, delivering full traceability from raw material to
end-product and eliminating the need for manual paperwork.
Eradicating physical paper records not only improves efficiency and
eliminated human error, but it also improves response time and
contributes to the agility of the factory that is so important
nowadays.
Mr. Siva, Operation Director at Far East Foam Group, says:
"Plataine's technology helps us create even more efficient cut
plans, resulting in increased manufacturing yields. We see our
manufacturing expertise as key to our business success and these
new AI capabilities will ensure that we are at the forefront of the
industry for the foreseeable future. I was also pleased with the
implementation process, which included remote training for our
operators, as Plataine was highly flexible to meet our needs in
this regard."
Avner Ben-Bassat, President and
CEO of Plataine, adds: "It's great to be working with one of the
world's largest suppliers of foam products. When we started to work
with Far East Foam, we looked closely into their manufacturing
processes and were impressed with their existing set-up. Working
with Plataine further improves their operations, bringing Far East
Foam a cutting-edge AI capability that will deliver improved
utilization of resources and efficiency. "
