Context

IPC, the industrial technical center dedicated to plastic and composite innovation approached us with an ambitious project funded by the European Union: to make the platform dedicated to the intelligent reconfiguration of production cells a new industrial standard 4.0, especially by making it 'plug and produce'.

Challenge

The goal of PALO IT was to support this technical center in the IT aspect, particularly by integrating the platform into the existing system, which includes

      • an injection molding cell
      • a quality control cell
The support focused on the development of an interface for reconfiguring the production cell and a set of features to track and trace production and quality control information for each piece produced.

    Results

Enhanced production monitoring and quality control through the implementation of metrics and the selection of technologies allowing for easy handling and improved maintainability :

      • Functional demonstrator for configuring and monitoring production.
      • Prioritization of high added-value features​.
      • Improved maintainability on the client side.
      • Data collection for each piece produced.
      • Comprehensive documentation enabling the handling of the entire development process.

« Our collaboration with PALO IT allowed us to co-construct a tailor-made technical solution that integrates innovative concepts of industry 4.0 while concretely meeting production expectations. Their digital expertise was deployed through the agile method, which allowed us to maintain control over the project management, and to adjust the work step by step according to our priorities. Committed to achieving our results and capable of translating our industrial needs into computer codes, the teams at PALO IT have convinced us of their ability to support digital transformation in the plastics industry. »
