Driving innovation through digital transformation
Defremm, a company based in Lecco, Italy, specializes in the production of cold-formed wire components and has established itself as a leader in the cold forming industry. Over the past decade, the company has embraced an extensive digital transformation journey, with the goal of making its manufacturing processes more efficient, automated and quality-driven.
To support this evolution, Defremm was looking for a solution that would enable operators to perform fast, simple and reliable dimensional inspections directly on the shop floor.
Simplifying quality control
The answer came with the introduction of the VICIVISION M304 optical measuring system.
As Mauro Molinari, Plant Director & R&D Manager, explains, the impact was immediate. Although operators were initially curious and cautious about the new technology, they quickly appreciated how easy it was to use. Simply place the part, start the program and obtain a complete, objective dimensional inspection in just a few seconds.
Its ease of use and rapid inspection capabilities soon led to the system being adopted across an increasingly wide range of production.
Bringing quality control to the shop floor
Today, quality control is fully integrated into Defremm's production process.
Whenever the system detects a potential issue, the operator takes the component to the quality station, selects the corresponding production machine and automatically launches the inspection program. Within seconds, the system verifies all the required dimensions, delivering objective and repeatable results without the need for interpretation.
This workflow allows operators to react quickly to process deviations, improving production control while significantly reducing inspection time.
Greater efficiency, objective results and rapid ROI
The introduction of VICIVISION has significantly streamlined Defremm's quality control operations.
Inspection setup times have been reduced, operators can perform measurements with the same level of reliability as a metrology lab, and every inspection delivers objective and repeatable results.
For Defremm, this translates into greater operational efficiency, smoother production workflows, increased operator confidence and safety, and a rapid return on investment, demonstrating the value of an optical measuring system designed specifically for shop floor quality control.
