ETRA grows with Industry 4.0

 

For some years now ETRA has based its business on the Industry 4.0 philosophy, to the point of completely reorganising its facilities with machinery, workshops and procedures for 100% automated, interconnected production.
The result is optimized times and resources, greater productivity and enhanced product quality.

The latest step has been achieved by introducing our new Powder Center EVO by WAGNER – a coating plant in line with Industry 4.0 criteria “thanks to software for managing powder consumption and providing industrial diagnostics” – which has made it possible to simultaneously reduce colour changeover times and wasted powder drastically.

Our great little revolution and the latest results achieved with this innovation are described in detail in this article by F. Stucchi, “From office furniture components to classroom desks, the impact of Industry 4.0 on Etra’s growth”, in ipcm® International Paint&Coating Magazine* No. 66 (November/December 2020), pages 188-192.
