Automated engraving machine for pole manufacturer Scanpole
Scanpole Oy, part of the Iivari Mononen Group, manufactures electrical, telecommunication, and lighting poles worldwide for electrical distribution, transmission, and telecommunication networks.
The company produces approximately 100,000 poles annually, with key export regions including Western Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Collaboration between Kaptas and Scanpole
Each Scanpole features three separate metal plates containing unique information about the pole’s size, manufacturing date, installation, and maintenance, allowing for condition monitoring.
Kaptas designed and manufactured an automated engraving machine for Scanpole, enabling more efficient and cost-effective production of metal plates.
The automation of the engraving process improved production efficiency compared to the previous outdated manufacturing method.
The collaboration with Kaptas was successful, with the necessary automation solutions found locally:
– The key factor was cost-efficiency. By using automation, we gained much greater efficiency. Kaptas was selected as our partner through the expertise of a local professional. It was great that the required automation solution was smoothly found with local resources.
