1. Thango© The revolutionary dies digital archive and remote correction system. Time and costs savings for correction departments. D. Tedoldi, T. Pinter, N. Cividini Alumat & Almax Mori Group Poweredby

2. Demonstrate cost savings due to Thango’sintroduction : Correction department management improvement: increased efficiency due to time savings for die correctors and plant managers Extrusion cost reduction due to die trials and knock off reduction Die designs management improvement, due to time savings for searching and retrieving paper designs and correction notes, both for the extruder and the die maker Presentation purpose

3. Thango © Features 3 case histories to see how Thango can help extruders to: Eliminate paper and have digital die designs archive have instant access to corrections dataand statistics immediately transfer feedbacks and correction designs to die supplier for die design improvement and trials reductions Build an extensive correction knowledge base, useful for problem solving and decision making issues, as well as for junior correctors’ training

23. FOCUS: Die feasability studies and designs approval through Thango© system CASE HISTORY N°3CUSTOMER: PROFILATI SPA

24. CASE HISTORY N°3CUSTOMER: PROFILATI SPA

25. CASE HISTORY N°3CUSTOMER: PROFILATI SPA TIME SAVINGS: Profilati requires designs approval on 100% die orders (480 Dies/year), of which an average 15% requires changes prior to final approval (72 dies).

26. CASE HISTORY N°3CUSTOMER: PROFILATI SPA PAPER AND PRINTING SAVINGS: average printing with traditional process without Thango ©: 4 sheets for each approval request (2 prints for the die maker and 2 prints for the customer) Total saving: 384€ paper print savings for 480 dies approvals (0,2€cent per b/w copy, minimum cost estimation).

27. CASE HISTORY N°3 Annual costs savings

28. RESULTS: Time and cost savings due to: Paper prints elimination of die designs with consequent environmental positive impact on trees saving; Instant transmitting and receiving of die designs: Thango© is installed within the correction department, no time wastes or delays due to design transmission through fax or pc in another office or plant area; Die delivery times reduction due to: Time savings in feedbacks exchange for designs approval Notes traceability is under control and secure: by using 2 different colors and creating shared archives, there’s no room for disagreement on what’s been shared and discussed.
