5S process optimisation apra-lean
Your customised process solution for injection moulding and toolmaking
In modern injection moulding and toolmaking, precision and efficiency take centre stage. With apra-lean process stations, you can optimise your processes, reduce waste and increase your productivity - flexibly and precisely tailored to your requirements.
Let's talk about a suitable and optimal solution for your production!

Why is process optimisation so important in injection moulding and toolmaking production?
Process optimisation with 5S makes work in production more efficient. It reduces unnecessary time losses, such as long search times, walking distances or waiting times. Studies show that up to 12 days a year can be wasted here. Better processes result in fewer rejects, lower production costs and high-quality products. Process optimisation therefore pays off twice over: It increases productivity and at the same time ensures that customers are more satisfied - a clear advantage in the highly competitive manufacturing industry.
How do the apra-lean products in particular help me to optimise my production?
Every production and every manufacturing process has its own specific challenges. Thanks to the modular design, we customise the apra-lean process stations to your requirements. A wide range of accessories complements the product series. This allows us to offer customised solutions from a quantity of 1, enabling you to improve your processes, increase efficiency and avoid waste through optimal workplace organisation.
Application examples for injection moulding and toolmaking
-
Injection moulding set-up station for holding tempering hoses
All temperature control hoses arranged centrally and clearly organised. No more long search times. Always have the right hose to hand.
-
Terminal for setting up injection moulds
Shorter set-up times. Only the right tools arranged systematically and ready to hand. Every employee has the same equipment at the set-up station and can therefore be deployed at any machine without search times and familiarisation
-
Set-up station for robot removal systems in automation
End effectors (grippers and vacuum cups) and tools for all product variants directly at hand on the automation. Changeover of grippers directly on the automation.
-
Process station for dosing, mixing and colouring plastic granulate
Space-saving, time-saving and ergonomic. All components of the colour mixing system and the required tools on a process station directly on the injection moulding machine. Control at an ergonomic height.
-
Station for the provision of electrodes on an eroding machine in toolmaking
No search times, no long distances: electrodes, as well as auxiliary materials and tools, are clearly laid out directly at the milling machine or eroding machine.
-
Cleaning station
All important cleaning utensils in one place - no more searching for the broom or the right cleaning product. This saves you cleaning time that your employees can use for their actual tasks.
