Although often perceived as a threat to traditional industries, automation can actually empower artisans to have greater control over skilled manufacturing processes and enable improved product quality.<\/p>\n
When Denby Pottery, a premier producer of handcrafted tableware, looked at refurbishing its process control systems it turned to Mitsubishi Electric<\/a><\/span>\u2019s distributor BPX to provide a reliable and well-connected solution to efficiently monitor, control and improve their clay production line.<\/p>\n Now successfully implemented, Mitsubishi Electric\u2019s state-of-the-art solution has dramatically reduced downtime and improved the quality of their customer\u2019s clay processing.<\/p>\n Denby Pottery has been designing and crafting tableware, cookware and serveware for over 200 years using clay as its starting substance.<\/p>\n Clay is a raw material that can vary greatly from one batch to another. It therefore requires the plant operators to have a comprehensive understanding of the clay\u2019s physicochemical properties to accurately control the process parameters and obtain a high-quality output.
