Mevar, a company that has been working in the sheet metal industry for almost 50 years, has chosen GP Progetti’s software solutions for production monitoring and planning. Mevar partnered with GP Progetti in order to become a smart factory and reap all the benefits of Industry 4.0, embarking on a journey of transformation and production optimisation. In particular, Mevar adopted the eNX Standard Suite in 2018, when it interconnected the first three machines with each other: the calender, the bender and the press. Other machines will also be connected this year, such as the Mikron machining centre, the punching machine and the 3030 laser. In the future, the company plans to implement the internal process traceability package to further optimise production.
