Meet Altachem, your Factory of the future
Altachem is a subsidiary of the Lindal Group and is based in Harelbeke, Belgium.
Originally founded in 1992 and home to 30 dedicated employees, Altachem is the world’s leader in the development and production of valves, application tools and accessories for 1K-PU foam (1 component PU foam) in pressurized cannisters.
With a turnover of more than 25 million euros and a continued focus on further growth and innovation, Altachem retains a strong position in the world of 1K-PU foam, adhesives and sealants.
In 2023, Altachem received Agoria’s Factory of the Future award, an industry award for manufacturing companies that use the most advanced digital technologies to implement intelligent and sustainable processes.
Belgian work shelter Oesterbank believes that digitalization offers a solution on both fronts. Recently, the organization replaced its shop floor solution with 24Flow, a future-proof operations platform that is part of the delaware family.
Digitizing Operations for Excellence
In its strife for operational excellence, Altachem is continuously seeking to improve its production operations. Increasing real-time visibility on the shopfloor by leveraging digital technology is central to Altachem’s vision, because it empowers operators and is a solid foundation for automation. Digitalization further reduces errors and eventually leads to increased quality and efficiency.
Revolutionizing Production Digitization
In order to achieve this vision, Altachem selected 24Flow. Altachem was especially charmed by the flexibility and speed with which 24Flow allows to digitize production processes, something that was lacking in Altachem’s ERP system. Furthermore, 24Flow provided Altachem an elegant solution to decouple a pending upgrade of the ERP system from the day-to-day shopfloor operations, ensuring production continuity at all times.
