Innovation is a constant in TUCAB's daily life, both in the development of new products and in the resolution of problems and improvement of our productive process.
Innovation in the Productive Process
Our production process is monitored on a daily basis so as to guarantee the validation of the requirements of the product in production, and when deviations from conformity are identified, an exhaustive analysis of the process parameters is carried out in order to correlate them.
The extrusion production process is a complex process with a high number of variables, and often, due to the influence of external variables (such as ambient temperature) it is largely affected, eventually generating non-conformities. The mission of the innovation department at TUCAB is also to study the production processes of its tubes, profiles and seals, targets for significant deviations, and implement improvement actions aimed at minimizing changes that may occur, enhancing the stability of the production process, which will culminate in compliance with product requirements and customer satisfaction.
At TUCAB, we believe that our processes are not static, and as we innovate and learn of new developments, we immediately analyse existing processes and adapt the knowledge acquired to them.
Innovation focused on the circular economy and sustainability of our processes
TUCAB has a strong focus on Innovation in its production process with regard to Circular Economy and Sustainability of the processes, ensuring the reintroduction of all production waste. We are aware that the reintroduction of waste is an action of high importance to minimise the amount of waste generated by TUCAB, however, this process of introducing waste in the production process often has to be accompanied by feasibility studies in order to analyse the results and adapt the process, ensuring that the correct incorporation ratio is defined, which guarantees the stability of the production process and compliance with the necessary specifications.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
This waste reintroduction process allows for a highly important synergy between Innovation and environmental concern, since TUCAB is also certified by ISO 14001 - Environmental Quality Management System.
Certification by NP 4457 - Research, Development and Innovation Management System
TUCAB's innovation philosophy is supported by the culture of resilience that is instilled in TUCAB daily , as well as certification by NP 4457 - Research, Development and Innovation Management System, which was achieved in 2019.
