The FASTEC 4 PRO Software Solution at Sartorius
Sartorius Stedim Plastics GmbH (formerly toha plast GmbH) in Göttingen has been an established manufacturer of plastic components for the biotechnology and medical industries for almost 40 years. With approximately 120 employees, the Göttingen site manufactures sterility testing systems, skin clamp devices and well over 120 million injection-molded articles per year at approximately 80 cleanroom work centers.
After the company was able to familiarize itself with FASTEC using easyOEE and found the solutions convincing, FASTEC 4 PRO was installed on approximately 30 plastic injection molding machines in two clean rooms.
- Industry: Pharmaceuticals/Cosmetics
- In Use: FASTEC 4 PRO software solution with the Machine Data Acquisition and Production Data Acquisition modules, as well as the additional functions of monitoring, alerting and label printing
- Interfaces: ERP interface for order acceptance and confirmation
- Connected Systems: 36 injection molding machines and 12 manual workstations
“The possibility to try out a similar system with little effort and costs using the productivity measurement tool easyOEE, and thus to get to know FASTEC better, contributed to the decision in favor of FASTEC.”
“As an injection molder, we particularly appreciate the seamless integration of the maintenance tool with planning. This means that we can always see where the tools are, what status they are in and when they will be available for production again after a repair.”
“Thanks to the system's ease of use, it was quickly accepted by the machine operators and thus quickly delivered results.”
Short and Precise
Installation and Commissioning
Sartorius was particularly impressed by the modular design of the I/O system, which could be precisely adapted to the difficult conditions in the clean rooms, thus drastically reducing hardware and wiring costs.
From Trial Operation to Indispensable Measuring Instrument
Since the determined OEE key figures have to be transmitted to the company headquarters on a monthly basis, the system was operated in a three-month trial period to verify the collected data. This phase was also used to make employees aware of the system’s importance and thus increase the quality of the data entered. Since the transition to productive operation, the system has served as an irreplaceable measuring instrument.
The Next Steps with FASTEC 4 PRO
The further expansion of the FASTEC 4 PRO software is planned for the future. For example, the Sartorius team is already considering implementing Detailed Scheduling and the Maintenance module.
