Camille Bauer joins in strengthening Switzerland's manufacturing base: people and digitisation work together in a new manufacturing service
Swiss industry contributes to our country's innovation, full employment and competitiveness. Switzerland's manufacturing base is indispensable, but industry must seize on the opportunities of digitisation". This postulation from a video message by Federal Councillor Johann Schneider-Ammann to the Industry 2025 initiative on 19.09.2017 was published in the October 2017 issue of swiss technology magazine.
Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG, based in Wohlen in the Swiss canton of Aargau is following precisely this objective, by building on its strength, namely the competence of company's internal workforce. For years Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG has been living the Lean culture, based on the Toyota Production System. Thanks to this system, the Swiss company has succeeded internationally and competes successfully in the world market.
Important factors for its success are total customer orientation, innovation and continuous improvement at all process levels. Along with this goes the implementation of digitisation throughout the entire context of industrialisation and manufacturing, which Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG knows how to deal with on a daily basis. A major milestone was already reached in June 2017, the migration to 100% paperless manufacturing. To make this possible, all processes in the ERP system were connected together in a network, which had a lasting, positive effect on the environment, flexibility and speed in the whole value-added chain. Uncompromising quality standards and performing a large percentage of production internally are an important foundation for satisfying customer demands with optimum delivery performance.
As well as its own products, which Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG has successfully developed, manufactured and marketed worldwide since 1944, the company is firmly committed to Switzerland as a manufacturing base and has broadened its offer to include manufacturing services. These manufacturing services can be used to handle production bottlenecks, take charge of test and validation processes, or perform industrialisation and repair services as well as logistical tasks. They conform to relevant standards, regulations and certificates such as ISO 9001:2015, ISO14001:2015, RoHS, REACH, ATEX, UL, GL IPC-A-610-D etc. The services are tailored to individual customer requirements and cover the following core areas: (1) Flexible and customised testing and validation of electrical assemblies and terminals with reliable test procedures and test equipment; (2) Manufacture of electronic assemblies in various production technologies; (3) Assembly of terminals using the cell production method; (4) Consulting in the areas of logistics, packing, warehousing, Kanban, lean management, paperless production, industrialisation, etc. Safety and reliability in each case provide the assurance of customer satisfaction. Our Manufacturing Services team will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
