R&D and technology watch to boost your performance

At TCM - THOMAS CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES, our research and development and technology watch service will facilitate the implementation of your manufacturing processes and result in tangible operational and productivity gains.

Robotics example

For example, did you know that the latest technological advances in robotics have not only considerably reduced the purchase price of this kind of equipment, but also its operating costs!

This means no more complex computer programmes requiring the knowledge of experienced programmers. No more equipment that is extremely sensitive to high ambient temperatures, thus resulting in the variable quality of manufactured products. No more need for large-scale production operations to ensure that this equipment is cost-effective.

The new programming tools available offer a user-friendly approach to robot configuration. Using a simple touch tablet, you can quickly and easily reprogramme your robot, which can be fully and economically operated even for small and medium-sized production runs, without the need to call on a programming expert.

Simplified operation of your robots

With this new generation of robots, you can manage operations and routine maintenance interventions by yourself.

Our possible operations are limited to exceptional situations and suggestions for improvement.

Remote maintenance services if required

For particularly complex breakdowns or technical issues, communication interfaces are integrated into the equipment as standard so that we can control your equipment remotely.

With the latest digitisation tools available, we provide support in real time  and at lower cost, and reduce production stoppages to a strict minimum, for all set-up, repair and maintenance operations.

Ongoing investment for shared success

Our core business involves providing you with the most advanced technological solutions in order to:
  • ensure your full control over your equipment and production processes
  • reduce your operating costs
  • optimise your production costs
To this end, we make it our business to stay up-to-date and develop expertise in the latest proven technology available on the market that can be applied to your business. To achieve this, we maintain a constant desire to learn about new technology, attend international trade shows, continually train our employees and establish exclusive partnerships with major industrial developers. Our philosophy of sharing technological innovation is the foundation for ensuring your success.
