The investment of TCI cutting in R & D + I places the company as the standard-bearer of the digital revolution

TCI Cutting has established itself as the leader of the fourth industrial Revolution for its high investment in innovation and its commitment to digital transformation, not only its products but also its business model.

TCI Cutting has established itself as the leader of the fourth industrial Revolution for its high investment in innovation and its commitment to digital transformation, not only its products but also its business model.

Investment in innovation is one of the priorities of TCI Cutting, which each year increases its budget for R & D + I to stay as a leader of the European market and reaffirm its position in others like the American or the Australian. TCI Cutting maintains a close collaboration with the universities and technological institutes of the same, with which it develops important innovation projects. Nowadays, the team of engineers of TCI cutting develops, together with the departments of automatic and electronic, vision and mathematics of the AI2 of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, a project to obtain the artificial vision of the cutting machines of Precision that it designs and manufactures in its facilities of Guadassuar, in Valencia.

TCI Cutting is a pioneer in the development of precision 3d industrial cutting machines. His last bet goes through additive manufacturing technology, one of the most outstanding advances in the 4.0 industry to fully digitize production processes, thus improving the performance of companies, with a reduction in time and greater efficiency . Additive manufacturing is an inherent concept of the fourth Industrial Revolution because it enables the hyperpersonalization of the manufacturing process, maintaining the costs and even reducing. The methods of manufacture by addition, like the 3d printing, allow to produce small batches of products a la carte, with a certain number of pieces equal or all different. These systems, which consist of adding layers of material to achieve the desired shape, reduce the logistical costs, as well as the circulation of stocks or transport distances.

The additive manufacturing is applied in a wide range of sectors, from the industrial to the aerospace, for which the precision of the cutting machines that designs and manufactures TCI cutting is key. Among the company's select portfolio are giants of this industry such as Airbus.

In this way, TCI Cutting is among the 13 percent of companies worldwide that have a structured and integrated digital transformation plan with the creation of Promanager that digitally connects all the elements of the company to achieve control and The total optimization of each one of the processes of the same, from the control of stock, client and suppliers to statistics of performance and Smarttouch, the new operator interface-machine that offers a total digitalization of the working environment. The potential for the handling of the machine with the possibility of regulating cutting parameters from the same, as well as the possibility of controlling the state of the peripherals, consumables, etc.

The investment in R + D + I and the commitment to digitization and automation of all production and logistics processes are two of the pillars on which TCI Cutting is based on its growth and which at the same time have served the company as a competitive advantage against OT Companies in the sector.

TCI Cutting was the first Spanish company to design and build precision industrial cutting machines with the three most outstanding technologies of the moment: water jet, laser and HD plasma. The company's international expansion is growing at a dizzying pace and the goal is to double productivity and turnover in a couple of years. To this end, TCI Cutting is currently in a process of expanding its facilities, which will be dedicated to the manufacture of high-tech lasers.
