Three Haeger press insertion machines were demonstrating the installation of the PEM self-clinching fasteners live. The visitors witnessed the efficiency and the easiness to handle the Haeger machine and were able to test it themselves.


Real cases of Total Cost of Ownership savings

Different Assembly Technology Expert Services for minimizing the customers’ Total Cost of Ownership for fasteners were also presented. Among all the services, KVT has accomplished several Expert Teardown projects, ranging from products as large as an elevator to as small as a coffee machine. The suggested technical improvements contribute to improving the quality and safety of the products and reducing assembly time.

 
Smart Factory Assembly exceeds the expectation
In the Smart Factory Assembly showroom, every guest experienced personally, how the digital and interactive work instructions easily guide the worker throughout the assembly process; how assembly errors can be minimized via the connected smart tools and devices; and how the quality data is traced and can be reviewed anytime for continuous improvement. 

“We did not know Smart Factory Assembly could do so much. This is for sure what we need to do for the industry 4.0 at our assembly,” one customer said at the event. 
 
A great day with an excellent atmosphere
With exceptional sunny weather, BBQ buffet & drinks, and entertainment, the opening event offered not only just the product and services presentation but also a whole day of great atmosphere, and chances to exchange experiences with customers, suppliers, and business partners.
