TRW Italia

TRW is a leading multinational that produces components for the automotive industry and has various factories in Italy. TRW found in STAIN an all-round technological partner able to meet standard requirements (e.g. field data collection) with a proven product that is intuitive to use, and also solve TRW’s specific problems (e.g. tracking of components mounted on power steering systems) with custom solutions developed thanks to extensive know-how and experience acquired in numerous successful installations.

• The SPC+ for computerising process control activities. It computerizes all control plans for each article, handles field data acquisition from the operator and measuring instruments, displays control charts (XR/XS and P), calculates process capabilities in real time for accurate control, and minimizes rejects and non-conformities.

• INTEGRA+ for real-time data collection and production management in each bay, and the SPC+ package, which is closely integrated with the state of production, for computerizing process control activities.

• The PRD+ in the STAIN+ suite, applied to the unfinished product machining lines for progress and production control.

• The STAIN solution, designed in 2002 specifically for TRW, for tracking components mounted on the new power steering systems, allowing complete tracing of the individual components (by lot, batch, etc.) of each item produced, and filing of all test parameters certifying the result of the process.
