Think digitalization holistically

The Austrian family business ANGEL develops and manufactures injection molding machines for processing plastics. Customers from various industries – from automobiles to medicine to household goods – rely on the mechanical engineering company’s innovative strength. The focus is always on the desire for individual solutions and ENGEL’s desire to serve them in the best possible way. This brings with it complexity for the entire process chain from the initial order through production to after sales. To deal with this, the company relies, among other things, on digitalization.

Stable component quality with digital twin

Predicting the manufacturing quality of a component with a digital twin – that’s it ANGEL already proven practice. In fact, simulations based on parameters from real manufacturing processes make it possible to predict component quality. In addition to production, the mechanical engineering company has implemented a digitalization program that spans the entire internal process chain.

Smart minds for a smart value stream

Accordingly, the proportion of employees working on and with digital systems at ENGEL is constantly growing. Because in order to ensure a smart value stream through the company beyond a smart factory, you need people who enjoy thinking far outside the box.
