Making a difference investing in technology: how Fonderia Morini has made its computer system an asset

It almost seems obvious to emphasize the importance of investments for a company. In the case of a foundry, the invested funds primarily go to avant-garde components, such as the Foseco sleeves chosen by Fonderia Morini, which  are useful for the production process as well as the health of the workers. Investments can also go towards less tangible aspects, such as technologies and information systems.

Over its sixty-year-long history, Fonderia Morini has always believed in reinvesting part of its profits for improving its production as well as its technologies.

For this reason and the advent of Industry 4.0, in the last five years, the company has invested significant amounts of capital which have led to faster production times, superior product quality and greater safety for the workers.

Fonderia Morini’s IT system: a technological strength

Just like machinery, software and information systems also play an essential role in the production. They can help streamline management processes, but only if they are adequate to the needs of the company itself.

The upgrade of Fonderia Morini's computer system has yielded significant results because they were able to find the right compromise between the basic software and the customized implementations requested by the company itself. Therefore, after 20 years of implementations, Fonderia Morini’s software house now covers the entire production process, from the arrival of raw materials to the issuing of invoices.

Every part of the process is under control: wastage or unexpected machine stops can be identified and solved rapidly, avoiding production delays. Such flexibility should not be underestimated, and it offers Fonderia Morini an important advantage over competitors using more rigid and less customized systems.
