LAP-C (Lean Automation Platform circular)
If you only need to produce a low or medium volume each year, a need fairly common in the medical industry? Often, it results in manufacturing automation being limited because costs of automation would increase the product price too much. The reason is that design, and thus custom automation, is very expensive. The only way to make automation more affordable while ensuring the same or even higher quality, is to standardize as much as possible. This way, you only need to design the specific client processes.
That’s why GTE designed LAP-C. The designed system has a proven robustness. Also, this standard has the advantage of “economics of scale”: when the quantity goes up, the price goes down.
