The milestone of the first 25 years of history has been passed only a few months ago, but innovation does not stop: the DNA is too strong not to honor the commitment to always be one step ahead of many others\u2026<\/p>\n
Here we go again, in Niviano di Rivergaro, near Piacenza, Italy, in the headquarters of Working Process<\/strong>. This time our goal is to understand what\u2019s cooking to enrich the contents of this \u201cfocus\u201d section. We were not surprised, we admit, to know that there are six chapters to tell<\/strong>, and even less to realize that these are not just some tweaks, but substantial changes, which bring the company, as we said in the summary, one more step forward.<\/p>\n Mature, proven innovations that have been worked on intensively over the last few seasons and are now ready to be marketed.<\/p>\n The first innovation they introduced to us can be defined as \u201cprocess-related\u201d: at Working Process, they have always looked not only at the heart of the system, the working center for the smart production of windows and doors, but at everything that comes before and after, because that\u2019s the only way to achieve the best possible result. There are two new developments, one concerning the Intelligent Multi-Level Magazine \u201cIMML\u201d for loading operations and the other concerning the unloading solutions.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start from the end of the line, from the unloading section, which looks like an extremely interesting idea if you look at the entire production process of a window frame. \u201cWe are patenting an intelligent unloading magazine<\/strong> that can provide the operator with the element he needs for the assembly sequence he has chosen\u201d, <\/em>explains Filippo Schegginetti<\/strong>, marketing and communications manager. \u201cProducing quickly and flexibly requires highly optimized production cycles, sequences that allow for the minimization of downtime or tool changes and which in most cases do not meet the needs of those involved in assembly. Starting from this premise, we have added further functionalities to our current unloading systems, enabling the operator to manage automatically all the steps to retrieve and collect from the system all the pieces he needs for a specific order\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n The same approach has been applied to the Intelligent Multi-Level Magazine \u201cIMML\u201d<\/strong>, a solution that a significant portion of the industry dedicated to the production of windows and doors has learned to know very well, in production since 2010 and which has over 200 installations. We decided to combine several stages \u2013 part preparation, automatic magazine feeding and storage \u2013 to ensure that the process is as fast and efficient as possible, developed on the basis of the processing priorities to which the piece has been or will be subjected.<\/p>\n The third innovation concerns the working center and it is no small thing: at Working Process they decided that the time had come to significantly revisit what is currently the company\u2019s \u201centry level\u201d series, replacing it with the brand new \u201cLogos Life Evo Experience\u201d<\/strong>. The old \u201cLogos Life Evo xs\u201d is therefore stepping back, after having excellently fulfilled the task of opening the doors of the factories of many manufacturers who, thanks to this machine, have approached the Working Process philosophy.<\/p>\n A machine that was conceived and designed to be particularly flexible, a sort of \u201csmart all-rounder\u201d with which to face any daily challenge.<\/p>\n \u201cThe new \u201cExperience\u201d range <\/em>\u2013 Schegginetti explains \u2013 will include one, two and three-head<\/strong> solutions, with a modularity that will allow us to give a \u201ctailor-made\u201d response to the needs of our customers. The three models combine all the know-how of our larger machines, taking that technology into a segment that requires a lower investment and without ever forgetting that many of our customers arrive in the workshop in the morning without even knowing what they will have to produce. Therefore, extreme flexibility, versatility and the possibility of creating different products, whether doors, windows, or even elements and semi-finished products that could then be directed towards other productions or even made for third parties\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n This range also offers what has always distinguished the Piacenza-based company\u2019s offering: machines that require very limited supervision and offer high productivity, absolute flexibility and very simple human-machine interaction. A machine that produces more, is more compact and offers a considerable reduction in energy consumption, while still guaranteeing very high performance.<\/p>\n What we could define as an \u201coptimization experience\u201d of this new \u201centry level\u201d series has resulted into reflections and considerations that have led Working Process to plan another important innovation, namely the new version of the \u201cLogos Life Evo xs\u201d<\/strong>, a name that tells about the natural evolution of the \u201cExperience\u201d series, behind which we can find the entire \u201cmid-range\u201d of working centers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are talking about our best-known and most widespread segment <\/em>\u2013 Filippo Schegginetti tells us \u2013 which has been deeply revisited, first of all by further strengthening the structure, so as to make it even stiffer and further push the accelerator on productivity, improving some synchronisms, suction and energy consumption. We have made significant changes to the tool changer, installed new software and control systems\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n This solution has been very popular since the first presentations, and numerous orders have already been collected.<\/p>\n \u201cIn this regard I would like to underline that we are talking about our new \u201cSonic\u201d<\/strong> heads, the fifth innovation that characterizes our 2026\u201d,<\/em> Schegginetti continues.<\/p>\n \u201cWe previewed them last June, during the open house and celebrations for our 25th anniversary, and for some time now they have been mounted on all our machines, from entry level solutions to the large \u201cSuper Heros\u201d, which can have more than 100 controlled axes, twelve operating heads that operate simultaneously on four processing lines\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n The \u201cSonic\u201d heads \u2013 with 3, 4, 5 or 6 axes \u2013 have been designed and are built on the basis of a completely new concept, which allows combining the robustness and durability typical of traditional vertical heads with the great flexibility of 3-axis heads. \u201cWith our brand new \u201cSonic\u201d head we have managed to merge these two worlds and we have been able to do so thanks to the long experience gained in this sector: just think that since our foundation, in 2000, we have concentrated a lot of energy on operating heads, a component of absolute importance and a commitment that have resulted into the development of our \u201cT5\u201d<\/strong> head, for many years a reference for the market.<\/em><\/p>\n That experience and everything we have done in this quarter of a century have led us today, in 2026, to launch a new head, and we are already thinking that, maybe in five years, we might introduce a further development, a sort of \u201cMaster Sonic\u201d that will take us even further.<\/em><\/p>\n And please note that this is not a matter of stylistic exercises or pure research, but rather the need to respond practically to the continuous evolution of windows<\/strong>, an increasingly \u201cperforming\u201d window in structural and visual terms, but also and above all boasting increasingly important technical features.<\/em><\/p>\n Let me tell you that a \u201cnon-evolved\u201d window could also be made by hand, but if you want to reach certain goals – dictated by specific regulations – it is essential to use advanced machines: at Working Process, we have always believed that a window must be a perfect synthesis between the beauty of \u201chandmade\u201d products and the rigor, precision, repeatability and all the advantages of being born from a NC working center\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n The sixth new solution is a sort of icing on the cake. New machines, new operating heads, new synchronisms, more efficient logic, new loading and unloading magazines, new heads are just components of a complex technological organism, an organism that executes the preparation of the cut and squared elements upstream and all the collection and assembly stages downstream. These operations must be carried out in the smoothest and most consistent way possible, without bottlenecks and with the certainty of always having access to all the information, of whatever type they may be.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year we are introducing our new supervisory system<\/strong>, so new that we haven\u2019t given it a name yet… but we\u2019ll fix that soon!\u201d, <\/em>Schegginetti tells us with a smile. \u201cWe deal with processes and our aim is to create working cycles that, responding to the customer\u2019s needs, allow you to do what you want, how you want. This implies complexity, a set of machines and systems that must be governed intelligently and effectively, exactly like an orchestra conductor is able to make very different instruments play together to create music….\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n The genesis of this new supervisor has also been quite long: \u201cPrecisely, it dates back to 2008, the year in which we finally started to produce all the elements of our machines in-house, so as to be able to have full control and achieve the quality that we have always set ourselves. A choice that forced us to face the challenge of interconnecting the various operations necessary to achieve the finished window: we had to create a process, a result impossible to achieve without a tool that allowed us to manage everything\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n So, everything is ready in Niviano di Rivergaro for the next twenty-five years and for many more: the projects, as we have already had the opportunity to write, are many and ambitious, starting from a significant expansion of the production area…<\/p>\n \u201cWe certainly can\u2019t just sit back and watch,\u201d <\/em>Filippo Schegginetti<\/strong> concludes. \u201cRecent history teaches us that everything can change radically and suddenly; those who invest in advanced technologies must and want to be certain they\u2019ve made a sustainable choice, not only from an environmental perspective. It is not enough to think in terms of meeting every order or energy saving, unmanned production cycles or value-adding interaction between man and machine. Innovation must be continuous because the bar is raised every day; because we still don\u2019t know what the windows of tomorrow will be like. We know, however, that we can contribute to their creation, by interacting with operators and entrepreneurs who will continue to make decisions with their hearts… provided they have access to the right information….\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n by Luca Rossetti<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n workingprocess.it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The milestone of the first 25 years of history has been passed only a few months ago, but innovation does not stop: the DNA is too strong not to honor […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":28648,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
