Designing new manufacturing technologies and providing spare parts for machines without documentation
Large manufacturing plants often face a problem that is not visible at first glance – their machines and production lines depend on spare parts that have long been out of production. This was exactly the case for one of the largest automotive suppliers, who struggled with the fact that critical components for their pressing machines could not be simply ordered. The original manufacturers of these components had either ceased operations or focused on other products.
What were the main problems?
Spare parts were no longer manufactured – many machines had been in operation for decades and their manufacturers had long since disappeared from the market.
Every part was unique – without available documentation, it was difficult to determine exact specifications.
Complex approval processes – finding a new supplier was not easy due to strict standards in the automotive industry.
What did PARTORY do?
Reverse engineering – we created precise replicas of parts using 3D scanning and material analysis.
New manufacturing technologies – we designed more efficient production methods that shortened delivery times.
Simplification of the supply chain – instead of searching for hundreds of different suppliers, the customer received one central solution.
Certification and testing – we helped meet strict automotive industry standards.
What was the impact?
Thanks to this solution:
The company could continue production without delays – it was not necessary to replace critical machines with new ones.
Saved tens of thousands of euros on modernization – instead of buying new presses, it was enough to refurbish the old machines.
Gained stable supplies of spare parts – even for equipment that is already technologically obsolete.
