About the project
With the introduction of a new system at the client site, new alignment sequences were required for the device installation. Meeting the planned installation time for this completely new setup posed a major challenge. The project involved:
- Brand-new hardware and tooling.
- First-time execution of the alignment sequence at the customer site.
- Limited operator experience with the new procedure.
The task
WEB was asked to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process by supporting the development, validation, and first execution of the new alignment sequence, aiming for a “first-time-right” result within the expected installation schedule.
How we worked
To achieve this, WEB collaborated closely with the client’s engineering and production teams, ensuring clarity, structure, and speed in every phase.
- Process definition – Worked together with the client’s engineering team to redefine the Method of Procedure and optimize the automated alignment database process.
- Early validation – Involved factory production engineers early in the review process to validate procedures and ensure feasibility.
- On-site support – Provided close support during prototype execution and ensured rapid resolution of comments and issues during the proto phase.
The solution
The sequence execution during machine installation was completed successfully and received no comments. The optimized approach led to a significant reduction in installation time, resulting in measurable efficiency gains for the client.
Lessons learned from this successful implementation are now being applied across the broader automated process, helping to further standardize and accelerate future system installations.
