Staudinger first came into contact with weasl at a trade fair. As a possible solution to the production challenges, it found its way to production manager Christian Sperka, who quickly recognized the added value of weasl. The initial impression was reinforced during the test phase and the weasl-guided assembly of the first prototype robots.

After a successful test run, Staudinger opted for weasl as an on-premises version and, with the support of our weasl team, introduced the system quickly and without any major hurdles in line assembly. weasl runs on a separate monitor at each workstation, but is also available and in use on tablets.

Process reliable guidance for employees

Once the assembly and operating instructions had been transferred to weasl, the employees had an intuitive, self-explanatory system at their disposal that guided them safely through their processes. Training was quick and without any major hurdles, so that the worker guidance system could be quickly integrated into the daily tool set.

Control & monitoring in real time

weasl records data, information, progress, etc. in real time and makes it immediately available. For Staudinger and production manager Christian Sperka, weasl has thus become a production control center where all information from the assembly processes converge. weasl thus enables direct control and monitoring of ongoing production.

Ensuring quality & mastering audits

With its relatively new “Warth plant”, the newly established production line and products that require a high level of verification, Staudinger had to face numerous questions relating to quality assurance and auditing: How are quality gates ensured? What is the procedure for dealing with errors? What is the procedure for change loops? How can the requirements for ISO 9001 audits be guaranteed? The answer to almost all of these questions: weasl. Staudinger uses weasl for worker self-monitoring, quality steps in the assembly processes, continuous documentation, etc. This ensures compliance with all relevant regulations and standards.

Using the feedback function to rectify errors

Staudinger employees actively use weasl's feedback functions to point out defects, problems and the need for adjustments. Their comments do not end up on a piece of paper or on the foreman's desk. They always reach exactly the employee who can ensure that they are rectified quickly. Employees thus contribute directly to process improvement, while errors and problems are quickly rectified.

weasl has become an integral part of line assembly at the Marklkofen-Warth site and pays off every day in terms of worker guidance, quality assurance and process optimization. So far, the worker guidance system has been running independently.

In a second expansion stage, weasl is to be integrated into the system landscape and exchange data directly with ERP and other systems. In this way, Staudinger wants to make itself even more future-proof and further streamline and optimize processes.

The company is also currently examining the use of the system at its main site in Loiching. One of the mainstays of this site is the production of switch and control cabinets. Here, too, it is important to instruct fitters in a reliable process, to document data and measured values in a traceable manner and to create optimum conditions for quality checks and audits - all of which are key disciplines for weasl.
