The overall objective of the project is to increase the competitiveness of HERTI by introducing a new innovative process of printing and varnishing of aluminium sheets and implementation of industry 4.0. The management of HERTI intends through this project to develop and implement “greener” production processes through purchasing "Coating and Varnishing Machine" and "Printing Machine" of the latest generation, based on the “PrintabLED” technology. The project will contribute to the strengthening of the bilateral relation between the company and the Norway partner ICB DIGITAL AS by involving a new knowledge and specific problem-solution inputs. The goal of the experimental development carried out by HERTI and ICB DIGITAL AS is to connect the purchased machines with a cloud system, which will allow the factory to automate further the manufacturing process as well as make better decisions for scaling the business. ICB DIGITAL AS is an innovative Norwegian software company focused on enabling digitalization processes in industrial enterprises and production environments. As results the project will achieve optimized production, increased capacity, improved product quality, shorter production and delivery times, reduced costs and a positive environmental effect.
The project has been awarded an additional support for introducing an innovative equipment for production of 22x30 size aluminium cups.
