Koch Werkzeugbau Case Study

 

 

Koch Werkzeugbau GmbH is a medium-sized, family-run tool manufacturer for stamping and forming technology based in Wuppertal, Germany. In addition to the production of tools for presses, the company manufactures molded parts for processing in the automotive industry, among others. In this context, the Koch company is a Tier 2 supplier in the production chain, and the molded parts are further processed and finished externally. The company was looking for a solution for digitizing and visualizing production data for manufacturing of decorative elements in series production. The goal was an immediate increase in productivity by visualizing production delays, analyzing the reasons for them and feeding the findings back into the production process.
