Fravizel has drastically reduced chassis production time from one week to approximately six hours, thanks to the NewSustainP4.0cess project, supported by COMPETE 2030.

On September 29, TENSAI held an open day event to showcase the completion of a project supported by COMPETE 2030. The initiative introduced new automation and digitalization technologies aimed at increasing the company's operational and energy efficiency.
Fravizel, a specialist in the development and manufacturing of hybrid machinery, has successfully reduced the time required to produce chassis for some of its machines, from one week to about six hours. This modernization of the production process was driven by the NewSustainP4.0cess project, also funded by COMPETE 2030.
According to Inês Frazão, marketing manager at Fravizel, the primary goal of this initiative is to "increase process efficiency." The company is already observing concrete results, including improved response capacity and enhanced equipment quality, stemming from the reduced production times.
