ZDZW

CHALLENGE

To pursue the main goal of reducing defects and the generated waste in manufacturing processes, ZDZW addresses defect minimisation and waste reduction in three key areas that cover the entire manufacturing process and product lifecycle.

SOLUTION

ZDZW will demonstrate its zero-defect (ZD) and zero-waste (ZW) approach in 6 Pilots involving production processes with an important waste reduction potential (injection moulding, thermoforming, welding and painting, induction hardening, lithography and packaging) of key industrial sectors such as automotive, home appliances, renewable energy, e-health, and food and beverages.
