Life cycle analyses show the climate performance of processes and products
How significant a climate impact does a press-hardening line have during its lifetime? And how does the material content of structural parts affect a car's climate performance? By applying comprehensive life cycle analyses, we can provide information that makes it easier for vehicle manufacturers to account for the total climate impact of their products. They also receive detailed, third-party reviewed facts to provide guidance in making material selection and design decisions. We currently offer life cycle analyses for press hardening and hot forming of high-strength aluminum.
Automation improves productivity in existing lines
At the same time, many manufacturers have a great deal of potential in terms of rationalizing and streamlining their production of conventional cold-pressed parts. Here AP&T offers both new production equipment and automation of existing machinery and production lines – regardless of the make. For example, AP&T has automated a large number of tandem lines, which results in shorter cycle times, higher availability and improved product quality.
