Sulzer Eldim: ‘Every Angle allows us to collect process information nearly real-time’
‘Reducing the scrap percentage by more than 50 percent’
“Thanks to Every Angle we were able to reduce the scrap percentage by more than 50 percent in three years.”
‘Need to inform your employees as much as possible’
"We changed our organizational process into manufacturing cells that are as self autonomous as possible. That means you need to inform your employees as much as possible about the activities they are involved in, and the results we expect from them as a company. So, we need to inform them about first time right, what we call the scrap percentage. Before we started using Every Angle that info was two weeks old. Every Angle allows us to collect this process information nearly real-time, so people directly have feedback on what they do."

About Sulzer Eldim
Sulzer Eldim specializes in the non-conventional machining and manufacturing of gas turbine components – in particular blades, vanes, turbine seals, turbine compressor stator vanes & stator vane assemblies, inserts and fuel nozzle guides. Founded in 1970, Eldim was the first Dutch company, and one of the first in Europe, to apply advanced machining technologies in the gas turbine field. One of Eldim’s core activities is the machining of cooling holes in turbine components, by means of spark erosion (EDM), electro-chemical drilling (ECD) and laser drilling. These methods of machining allow Eldim to meet the critical tolerances and the high standards required by the gas turbine industry.
Sulzer was founded in 1834 in Winterthur, Switzerland, and is active in over 160 locations worldwide.
Specializing in the manufacturing of industrial machinery and equipment, surfacing technology, and rotating equipment maintenance, the four divisions of Sulzer are global leaders in their respective markets.
