Digitalization makes it possible to optimize overall equipment effectiveness: increase manufacturing performance, quality, and availability. The Smart Press Shop, a newly formed joint venture between Porsche and Schuler, is an exemplary case study for smart manufacturing standards. Discover innovative and practical ways to incorporate digitalization into production and become a state-of-the-art stamping facility. This presentation will address why the Smart Press Shop was created, the technologies included within the Smart Press Shop, the results that Schuler and Porsche are experiencing, what manufacturers should be thinking about when purchasing press systems, and how manufacturers can begin incorporating Smart Press Shop practices.

The Impact of Sheet Metal Types and Procurement Specifications on Die Maintenance and Production Up Time
Sheet metal type and ordering specifications can heavily influence the cost of die maintenance and production. This presentation looks at the impact of sheet metal thickness, type and temper (aluminum, copper alloys, mild steel, stainless steel, HSLA and AHSS) on press performance (tonnage, energy, reverse unloading) forming modes (bending, drawing and stretching), die wear and die breakage. Other topics include sheet directionality, proper cutting clearances, deep drawing guidelines, frictional issues, and lubrication requirements.
