Optimising production SACS We present in exclusive digital Blink Marine. We went to see how it works and practical benefits of the product directly to a site of production, the well-known manufacturer of inflatable boats Sacs.
optimize production, decrease the "Time to Market", has a lot of sense in times of high demand, the good years where the annual production of the yards have serial numbers, in the hundreds of units. For example, until two years ago to reduce the time of production (and delivery) Sacs of the boats, the establishment of Zibido San Giacomo (MI) came out of semi-boats, ready to be put in water, but without the ' electrical fittings and electronics, engines and various plants. The final implementation was entrusted to the dealer so he could set up and wire the boat depending on the customization required by the customer. This had some advantages in hours / site, it entailed the disadvantage of not having a boat, or rather, an electrical system alike. The creativity of the local electricians often had the better of the rationality and created some problems for warranty work. This was one of the reasons why Sacs decided to "bring everything in house, starting to prepare their boats in all respects prior to delivery to the dealer. This decision led to a lengthening of the time of production, but has ensured consistency with deploying the system in general and in the realization of the electrical system, the real nervous system of the boat.
solution BLINK MARINE
Longer production time allowed to pass rather quietly Sacs a black year of sailing, given that the same staff and facilities were a physiological reduction of orders but they have not lost a yard and now the production has continued his work, including the technical department. "The decision to set up our boats here in Zibido - explains Alessandro Sandonnini - has also led to a readjustment of the purchasing department and a search of the best products on the market. We were looking for a convenient, reliable and secure. With the system we actually Blink Marine resolved several problems. Primarily for its ease of installation laying the cables from electrical appliances and connect the control unit which in turn is connected to the console comondo on the bridge with a single cable. Secondly, the system has proved very reliable, especially because of the electrical failures are among the first things to annoy the customers. "
Quick installation
To be equipped with the digital system Blink Marine Sacs are the boats of the series and Top Line Sports Line. In the first case, the choice fell on a classical keyboard from 10 users with the control unit installed in the wheelhouse. To make harmonic integrazionew between the keyboard and console, in Sacs have created a recess which allows you to install the keyboard flush with an excellent cosmetic result. The keyboards are personalized in the entry and backlit keys and allow you to have all the utilities at your fingertips. "Last but not least, ease of back up in case of failure in the system: in almost all cases it is sufficient to hold the button to reset the flashing.
Aboard the number of Top Class Sacs was chosen the configuration of two keyboards of 10 utilities in parallel because of the greater number of facilities to manage.
"We are very satisfied with the cooperation, both in terms of optimization production, and because further enhances our products, inflatable boats that are not simple, but objects of design, practical and high performance in all weather conditions. Thanks to continuous implementations that we pursue with our partners and our engineering department, we created a dynamic company and a line of modern boats with pride that leads a prestigious brand.
