Merged Expertise Under One Roof!
By combining DRS’ over 50 years of waterjet cutting experience with Evomatic’s expertise in automation and robotics, we can now offer a complete solution for automated production flows, such as those for automotive interiors. Our latest simulation demonstrates the strength of our combined expertise, visualizing a fully automated production line and showing how integrated technologies optimize every step in the production process: from loading blankets into heating stations, press and cooling, to waterjet cutting, quality inspection, waste recycling, gluing, and packaging. By streamlining and integrating these steps, we not only increase production speed but also reduce resource waste and enhance precision. Shape Process Automation EMEA/Europe delivers future-proof solutions for a sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing process.
