A remarkable transformation has been unfolding inside the massive Motherson factory in the middle of Germany. Samvardhana Motherson Peguform is a leading expert in high-quality interior and exterior modules for the automotive industry. It’s a story of perseverance, adaptability, and a small but mighty company’s ability to tackle the most significant challenges.
Welcome to the Motherson project, a new painting line for plastic car parts that has not only tested the limits of technology but also showcased the expertise of a company determined to make it all work.
ASIS partnership
The Motherson project began as a typical ventilation project but quickly morphed into something more ambitious. ASIS GmbH, our sister company, embarked on a mission to construct a state-of-the-art painting line.
Drawing from Boreto’s prior experience with ventilation (HVAC) systems, the decision to entrust us with the entire ventilation system and an additional machine known as the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) was a natural one.
Our role in the project
Boreto’s role in the Motherson project was multifaceted. We undertook the responsibility of electrical planning, software development, and visualization preparation. However, our most critical role was ultimately commissioning the ventilation system (VT) and the RTO. This was a task that demanded precision and dedication.
Challenges
Every project, regardless of its scope, has its share of challenges. For the Motherson project, the challenges were substantial. Firstly, the global delivery problem that has plagued industries worldwide also made its presence felt here. This meant constant engineering and reengineering to align with ever-shifting delivery schedules.
Drawing from experience
One of the key strengths of Boreto is its ability to learn from past projects. The experience gained from Project V-Zug served as a valuable foundation for the SMP Line project. However, this endeavor came with its unique demands, necessitating flexibility and adaptability in our approach to project planning and customer requirements.
The technologies used
The Motherson project converged various technologies, such as Eplan, the TIA Portal, Data analytics, and Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer. Eplan and TIA Portal were instrumental in our electrical planning and software development efforts. Data analytics plays a crucial role in optimizing system performance. The Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) was the cornerstone of the project, ensuring environmental compliance in the painting process.
What we did: The result
After countless hours of hard work, dedication, and overcoming obstacles, the Motherson project achieved its primary goal: a fully operational painting line. It’s a testament to our technical prowess and a realization of the trust that ASIS GmbH had in our capabilities.
A company’s success
For Boreto, the Motherson project was a defining moment. It demonstrated that the company’s size doesn’t limit its ability to handle significant projects. It’s a testament to our knowledge of ventilation and HVAC systems and our unwavering commitment to success.
The Motherson project is not just a story of machines and technology; it’s a tale of determination, resilience, and the triumph of expertise over adversity. It’s a reminder that, in the face of challenges, small companies can achieve remarkable feats when armed with the proper knowledge and a dedication to excellence.
The Motherson Paint Shop now stands as a testament to this truth, painting a brighter future for the automotive industry and those who dare to dream big.
