The constant growth of an industry is something that happens in many cases in a disorganized way and without planning. That was a mistake Reisam didn't want to make.
With the increase in production demand and limited physical space for expansion, Reisam found itself in the need to build a new warehouse to increase production capacity and meet deadlines.
In the market, it is common to see a company giving up product quality or increasing the delivery time to meet demand, an idea that did not please the Reigado family, founders of Reisam. This would go against the values of the company, which has been ensuring the excellence of its products for over 25 years.
The problem got even bigger because finding a company to assemble a quality extrusion machine in a short period of time is very difficult, as already noticed by Reisam in the past.
"The company's growth has be organized and controlled, without sacrificing the quality of the product and service."
- Alex Reigado, production director
Setting up an extrusion line is a task that takes time and a qualified team.
Kubo's challenge was to serve Reisam quickly, accurately and without leaving loose ends or rework, which would result in higher expenses and delay the startup of the new line.
Parallel to the assembly, Reisam requested the creation of new software for the double puller system, reformulation of the HMI screens and addition of new functionalities. All this to be started along the line, a great challenge that demanded synchrony between the assembly and programming teams.
Kubo provided all the labor necessary for the machine's electrical connection together with the mechanical team, working side by side in synchronism.
A great planning was carried out and we paid extra attention to not leaving anything behind, which ensured the execution of the service with zero rework.
The machine's programming team entered the final stage of electrical assembly, while the programming of the double puller system was already under development, which streamlined the integration process between the machine's parts.
At Reisam's request, the HMIs screens used in the dual puller system were completely redesigned, in order to help the machine operator to get the best out of it, with well distributed graphics and displays, ideally sized buttons and extra functionalities.
The teams that worked on the assembly of the extrusion line finished the job in record time, giving Reisam the necessary time to start using the new production line before their stocks ran out.
The mastery of the work carried out was so surprising that Reisam entered into a monthly maintenance contract with Kubo, for preventive and corrective maintenance of the line's electrical panels and on-site and remote software assistance for the double puller system.
