ELAM Solutions
ELAM Solutions is a cloud-based assistance system that revolutionizes manual assembly in manufacturing companies. It serves as an interface between people and digital processes and supports workers in their tasks. With the flowchart editor, assembly processes can be created step by step and released for production. The ELAM Assistant displays the individual work steps on a screen and logs them automatically. This increases process reliability, reduces errors and creates a reliable basis for traceable assembly processes. Thanks to the logging, all recorded performance indicators can be monitored, analyzed and used for continuous optimization directly in the ELAM evaluation. ELAM Solutions is completely web-based and works on any browser-enabled device. Three versions are available depending on requirements. The basic version includes all the functions of the ELAM Assistant as well as administration and evaluation. The professional version allows the integration of IoT tools such as scanners, screwdrivers, digital I/Os or pick-to-light systems, which can be connected plug-and-play via an SWA5 client and WiFi. The Enterprise version offers tailor-made solutions for demanding and individual requirements. Armbruster Engineering is convinced that ELAM Solutions will pay for itself after just a few months of manual assembly. The system helps to avoid costly search times and errors, allowing companies to work more efficiently and their employees to take on more value-added activities. The development of ELAM Solutions is based on decades of experience in assisted assembly and the implementation of digital factory solutions. Thanks to a free help center and optional service levels, ELAM Solutions is a straightforward and reliable choice for optimizing manual assembly.
