Increasing Efficiency and Modernizing Production at Preh
Preh GmbH, founded in Bad Neustadt in 1919, is now active on 3 continents. The company has made a name for itself as an automotive supplier specializing in automotive HMI (Human Machine Interfaces) and commercial vehicle HMI. Today, the company also develops numerous product solutions for electromobility.
As in the manufacturing industry in general, Preh is constantly faced with the challenge of optimizing production processes, reducing costs and integrating new technologies. The Bavaria-based company has successfully met these challenges by replacing older machines with modern and innovative solutions. The collaboration with ASYS played a crucial role in this. Here is our success story:
Where it started: Urgent need for modernization
After more than 15 years of operation, INSIGNUM laser marking systems and SERIO printers from ASYS have been replaced by new machines. Preh is once again relying on the high-performance solutions from the ASYS Group. The advantages are obvious: durable and high-quality machines with simple operation, flexible customization options and smooth integration into existing systems.
The solution: Where technical innovation meets strategic partnership
A key project for Preh was the implementation of new dual-track lines that were specially optimized for products in the e-mobility segment. These lines minimize the need for changeovers and allow seamless integration into the production landscape through digital connections. At the same time, the new INSIGNUM laser marking systems and SERIO printers will be integrated into the lines.
The results: Efficiency and sustainability
The modernization of the Preh production lines brought significant advantages:
Increased efficiency: The new machines work faster and more smoothly.
Cost reduction: Thanks to the inline integration of the laser systems, unnecessary handling steps could be eliminated and personnel resources optimized.
Flexibility: By switching to double-track lines, specific products can be manufactured more efficiently without the need for frequent changeovers.
Future-proof: the modernized systems are designed to meet future requirements, for example through the possibility of fully interlinking production processes.
The role of ASYS: A reliable partner
ASYS has not only supplied high-quality machines but has also proven itself to be a flexible and solution-oriented partner. ASYS systems can be found at Preh in many different areas - Preh now also relies on ASYS solutions for painting machines.
Why ASYS solutions?
Dirk Petzold, Process Engineer Electronics Assembly, Preh GmbH:
‚We have been very satisfied with the machines from ASYS for many years. We are impressed by the durability and flexibility of the systems. The wide range of products also suits us very well. If a requirement is not covered by the already extensive standard range, ASYS can offer customized solutions from its custom machine construction. There is actually almost nothing that does not exist.‘
Conclusion: A model for the industry
Preh's manufacturing modernization is an outstanding example of how strategic investments in technology and partnerships can not only solve existing problems, but also create long-term competitive advantages. Preh has successfully completed the transformation and shows how innovation, efficiency and collaboration go hand in hand.
