Domis (Somfy group)

Specialized in the manufacture of alarms, the activity of Domis undergoes significant variations. Production must therefore be flexible but also adaptable to rapid series changes on products of different volumes and sizes. This is why the workshop is organized around multi-purpose stations dedicated not to a single product but to an industrial function, thus allowing the production of multiple references and components and meeting this need for flexibility.

Transition from a ” Lean Factory ” to a ” Factory 4.0 ” with the Aquiweb MES software

Domis installed the Aquiweb MES software in its workshop as part of its “Smart Factory” project and has since been awarded the “Industry of the Future Showcase” label. Based on the agile methods common to both Domis and Astrée Software, the step-by-step approach of the project allowed for the implementation of new features every 6 months. The software had to meet different challenges and objectives in order to support this transition from a “Lean Factory” to a “Factory 4.0”:

  • Automate and improve the reliability of series changes
  • Automate the OEE
  • Dematerialize job cards
  • Manage non-conforming parts
  • Real-time communication
  • Planning of POs
  • Real time view of the First Pass Yield
