Project title:  "Implementation of low-waste and automated welding technology for metal components"

Brief description of the project:

The project benefits from a grant of €307,527.72 million received from Norway.

The aim of the project is to implement a low-waste and automated technology for welding metal items, which will allow to offer products of higher quality and at the same time will be characterized by an above-average positive impact on the natural environment. We will achieve this goal by introducing technological changes in the welding process, which will involve the following: the use of an original design of a robotic welding station, operating on the basis of a unique welding algorithm and in a heating system for welded elements.

SCOPE OF PROJECT

The scope of the project includes the construction of a production hall in which an automated robotic  welding station with a workpiece heating system will be installed. The project also includes the purchase of a PV installation that will power the new technological process.

EFFECTS OF IMPLEMENTATION

We will achieve the following effects of the project:

1. We will reduce the amount of waste by approx. 77.6%,

2. We will reduce electricity consumption by approx. 24.8%,

3. We will use approx. 43 MWh of electricity from the photovoltaic installation,

4. We will reduce CO2 emissions by approx. 58.4%,

5. We will establish cooperation with a research unit,

6. We will increase the turnover and profits of our company by establishing new business relationships,

7. We will increase the level of employment

Implementation progress: completed construction of the hall, delivery of fixed assets, service in progress.
