Standardized solutions that were once sufficient no longer meet market demands. The market demands speed and precision, especially in complex manufacturing processes, such as ventilation ducts produced by BerlinerLuft Tehnika d.o.o. The company faced challenges during production when modeling ventilation ducts of various dimensions and connections. Such dimensions and required precision do not forgive errors even by a millimeter.
Before collaborating with COMMUNITER AD DECUS d.o.o., the biggest problem in their production was errors that occurred due to manual input, resulting in products that could not be assembled on-site, which meant financial losses for the manufacturer and delays in delivery. Thanks to the solutions from COMMUNITER AD DECUS d.o.o., from 3D models to DXF formats (used by machines for cutting sheet metal for ventilation ducts), there are now no intermediate steps, eliminating the need for human intervention between phases.
Bojan Čabradi, a mechanical engineer from COMMUNITER AD DECUS d.o.o., implemented a system that allows for the automatic generation of precise models based on specified specifications. – The need for automation arises when the share of ‘custom’ element production increases because the technological preparation of custom elements takes a lot of time and is prone to errors – Čabradi told us. However, their product configurators implemented in BerlinerLuft Tehnika d.o.o. generate all shapes of models, standard and custom, with the same speed, eliminating human errors and speeding up the production process. The entire system has become so robust that it allows for model adjustments at any time, even if errors are detected just before production.

New system saves time and money in the process of onboarding new workforce
The advantages of their approach were recognized by the company they collaborated with: – Before automation and collaboration with COMMUNITER AD DECUS d.o.o., we faced a lengthy and complex technical preparation process, which was often prone to errors due to making each product from scratch. This led to inconsistencies in production and extended delivery times – said Vedran Mičuda, head of the welding department at BerlinerLuft Tehnika d.o.o.
Another significant advantage of the entire production automation system is the reduction in the need for highly specialized labor. New employees, instead of undergoing months of training, can now start working from day one using simple instructions from the system. This has enabled COMMUNITER AD DECUS d.o.o. to provide its clients with faster integration of new workers and reduced training costs.
Faster error-free production process reduces costs
The team of experts from COMMUNITER AD DECUS d.o.o. provides comprehensive support throughout the entire implementation process, including training before delivery and ongoing customer support. Each configuration comes with a one-year warranty, allowing clients to detect errors or make changes without additional costs.
– Sometimes it is harder to decide on changes, especially when it comes to investments in new technologies. However, our experience shows that introducing automation is not just a response to today’s problems but an investment in long-term growth and competitiveness in the market – emphasizes the director of COMMUNITER AD DECUS d.o.o., Ljubomir Sakač.
